33 | Writing your Life Story after 40 with Tara Ellison
Manage episode 449912471 series 3588962
Have you ever stopped to consider how the stories we inherit about love, sexuality, and self-worth shape who we become today? We're diving into that very question with a woman who's been on a journey of peeling back the narratives handed down from her mother and how she's rewriting them on her own terms.
My guest this week, Tara Ellison, writes about midlife, menopause, sex and relationships, all those juicy topics we love. She is here to talk about what her mother taught her about sex and how this has fueled her healing purpose and creativity in midlife. This week, episode 33 of Pleasure in the Pause is about midlife musings and lessons!
