Divorce in midlife can feel like an emotional ambush — even for the strongest women. In this episode, I’m joined by certified life and menopause coach Debbie Harbec to talk about how to stay grounded when your body, your future, and your identity all feel in flux. We break down the warning signs of burnout, why high-achievers are often the most at risk, and how to reclaim clarity, calm, and control — without burning out in the process. Debbie Harbec is a certified life and menopause coach with 20+ years in the health and wellness field. She helps midlife women reclaim their energy, manage symptoms like brain fog and mood swings, and stay centered through major life transitions like divorce. 🎙️ Listen to Debbie on The Midlife Momentum Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🧘‍♀️ Learn more about Debbie and book a call with her on her website - https://debbieharbeccoaching.com/ Some key takeaways from this episode include: 🔹 Midlife and divorce don’t just overlap — they compound. Hormonal changes during perimenopause can make the emotional weight of divorce feel even heavier. Knowing what’s happening in your body helps you name what you’re up against and navigate it with clarity. 🔹 Feeling “off” is your body asking you to listen. Brain fog, exhaustion, mood swings — these aren’t minor. They’re signals. When you tune in early, you give yourself the chance to protect your health and make smarter decisions. 🔹 You’re not meant to carry everything. High-achieving women are used to pushing through — but in divorce, that mindset can backfire. Letting go isn’t weakness. It’s strategy. And it creates space for the support you actually need.
