Radiant After 40: Rewiring Your Body's Foundation for Prosperity
Join me, host Tara Preston as I dive into this episode on midlife transitions that offer women a powerful opportunity to upgrade their energy, reclaim their radiance, and step into matriarchal leadership through intentional healing of the womb space and physical foundations.
This episode explores:
• Operating from depletion and disconnection through major life portals prevents true evolution as women
• The womb holds energy of fatigue that can be transformed into a powerhouse of beauty, vitality and creative power
• Perimenopause symptoms signal the need to address body foundations through liver support and anti-inflammatory nutrition
• Breaking free from outdated identities allows women to evolve into their matriarchal power
• Clearing energetic patterns at the womb level helps break cycles of depletion often connected to the mother wound
• Practical steps include body cleansing, closet detox, makeup bag detox, and eliminating hormone-disrupting products
• Akashic records work helps clear karmic residue at the subconscious soul level
• Midlife prosperity comes from magnetic energy, not pushing and hustling

Hello and welcome to Lead Like a Mother this episode. We are talking about Reclaiming Radiance, the Midlife Prosperity Upgrade. After journeying with hundreds of women over the last 14 years through major life transition, one thing I know for sure is that every portal of initiation whether it is through maiden motherhood, the initiation of our perimenopause to menopause portal is that there is an opportunity for an upgrade. What often happens is that we come into a place where we reach these portals of initiation and we're draggy. Our systems are slow and sluggish, we are disconnected, we are holding on to lessons of the past, we're still holding on to an old identity and we don't move through these portals of initiation in a way that truly honors our evolution as women. And so I am here to talk about Reclaiming Radiance, the midlife prosperity upgrade, because midlife isn't a season of decline. We come into this midlife initiation, this midlife portal, and our bodies are often tired. We're holding on to energetic residue, we're clinging onto old stories from different periods of hardship along our journeys as women and allowing it to define us. Our skin is changing, our energy is changing. We're feeling more depleted, a disconnect from our beauty, where midlife is actually really this opportunity to recalibrate through a portal of initiation into more of our vitality, our radiance, our prosperity in a whole new way. It is meant to be the foundation that will be a catalyst for the golden years of menopause. So it is up to us at this point to recognize where our energy, where our body systems and where our identity needs an upgrade. So it is like I find a bit of a tune up and I will say, you know, a year and a half ago and I've always had a love of nutrition and the body and the womb but I will say about a year and a half ago and I've always had a love of nutrition and the body and the womb but I will say about a year and a half ago, I started to see some perimenopausal symptoms.
Speaker 1:I started to feel a little lackluster, a little bit heavy, a little bit bloated, seeing that shift from who I was as a 30-something to really stepping into my mid-40s which, by the way, I had my 47th birthday yesterday and I am feeling so good, so good. I've started lifting weights. I've changed the way that I nurture and heal my gut. Through an anti-inflammatory diet, I eat a lot more gut healing foods, a lot more fermented foods. I have healed and upgraded my liver to function optimally so that my hormonal health could improve. I was starting to feel a little bit of estrogen dominance and my progesterone dropping a little bit, but I got that kind of tweaked by healing and clearing my liver and, about a year and a half ago, went to study holistic nutrition. So I'm still a student of holistic nutrition. I've made my way through the foundations of holistic nutrition and I've just really been on my own journey.
Speaker 1:However, nutrition and supporting women to sink into nourishment, to deepen their capacity for nourishment, to sink into nourishment, to deepen their capacity for nourishment, to understand their relationship to food and their connection to the womb and prosperity, has always been there. So if you've been feeling depleted, disconnected from your beauty, overwhelmed by life's demands, as a midlife mother, as a midlife woman leader, this is for you because truly, it is an opportunity to re-examine how we're showing up in the world, an opportunity to refine our boundaries, to nourish our bodies and to really recalibrate to a new energy of beauty, and to really recalibrate to a new energy of beauty, one that serves our evolution. Specifically, when we're talking about the womb, I want to talk about the womb because the womb holds a lot of this energy of fatigue, of depletion, when really it's meant to be a powerhouse of beauty, vitality, energy, nourishment. We're meant to cultivate connection to that, to cultivate a trust in our ability to flow from that space and to anchor into the power of our womb, to activate our creational power, which allows us to manifest and to move energy and to bring our creative desires into fruition without all the pushing going, doing hustle right. And it's a different way of holding our energy, of occupying our womb space, of tending to our womb space so that we can inhabit it differently and really harness the power of it.
Speaker 1:Now, particularly for women mothers, definitely Now, particularly for women mothers, definitely, you know, we're coming from this lineage of women who sacrificed, who pushed right, who gaveends itself to a lot of fatigue. And it's also where we start to learn to tune into our own naturalness, our own rhythms, our own impulses and we start to honor that by understanding where our boundaries are and through that process of healing the womb, of activating the womb, of coming into the womb space, and by clearing out these patterns that we're holding onto at the level of the womb, that often have us repeating these cycles of depletion and understanding how to uphold boundaries that honor the way that we desire, in midlife, to move through the world right. This is very pivotal in understanding how to create a foundation that serves and supports our emerging sets of self as midlife powerhouse women. This is a big part of the work that I hold space for. For those being called to the matriarch path. This is something I'm going to use more and more because it is the initiation into our feminine power, the next evolution of our feminine leadership. And we don't get there by playing by society's old rules, by giving ourselves away, by still operating from a hyper masculine framework of push, go, do, hustle, depletion, overgiving, sacrifice right and again, we hold a lot of that depletion in the womb space. So some of this I'm sharing with you because I've also got the upcoming three-day Feminine Prosperity Spring Revival and it is actually three days of replenishment, rejuvenation for midlife mothers, women, leaders, and it is so beautiful. We're going to kickstart it with a womb healing activation journey. We're going to be deepening into detoxing, releasing, clearing out so that we can upgrade our beauty, our bodies.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be weaving in nourishing, nutrient dense foods and on day three we're going to really talk about the vision that you're being called into as a matriarch, and how to upgrade your identity to really start to step into that and the identity piece becomes incredibly powerful because we can you know, as somebody who was a professional makeup artist for 12 years through their twenties it we can become very attached to an old, outdated identity and it can keep us very stuck and very holding very kind of holding on to an old, outdated identity and it can keep us very stuck and very holding, very kind of holding on to an old version of ourselves out of fear, out of scarcity, of not being enough, out of not understanding how to adapt and evolve into a new version of ourselves. Right, and especially when it comes to aging. Right, but there's power in our aging and so as we dismantle where maybe the fear or the insecurities are, we can find power and we in that, and we can adjust and recalibrate to a new, new identity that matches who we're being called to be. So I'm gonna weave in a lot of different tools through this three-day journey and also it's happening right through the spring equinox three-day journey, and also it's happening right through the spring equinox, so that in and of itself, as women, we have a very cyclical nature to our evolution. Just like the seasons, the cycles, the moon, it's a spiral journey of going deeper into ourselves, recalibrating and bringing that evolution out into the physical world. The energy is ripe for this peeling away of the old, for dropping in and emerging with a new sense of self. Through the equinox, through any seasonal shift. It's one of my favorite times to extend, to hold space for even for myself personally, to sink into my own evolution, because the energy is there.
Speaker 1:If you've listened to other podcasts of mine, you know you've heard me talk about how Mother Earth is such an ally in our own evolution, so you're more than welcome. There's a VIP pass, so it's 77 USD right now, until tonight midnight and then it goes up to 111 USD. If you're listening to this and you're catching the podcast Thursday or Friday, just reach out. I'd be happy to extend the $77 because I'm hitting this a little late. Or you can do the VIP upgrade for 333 USD. You get a 45-minute private session and my 21-day goddess glow cleanse to take the experience so much deeper. Or you can join me for $77 and we can journey together for three days through a transformation.
Speaker 1:So I wanted to make this one short and sweet to just speak to the possibility of this midlife portal, of this midlife rebirth, and how it truly is an opportunity to step into the foundation of more. But we need to be able to address our body foundations. We need to address the womb foundation and we need to understand the importance of rewiring our nervous system, of coming into a new space of nervous system regulation, and that happens by clearing out and breaking down and untangling at the very root these patterns of depletion that are very often connected to the mother wound. So I will be taking you through an akashic record, womb clearing, awakening, healing journey for you to really understand the most important pattern that is ready to be dismantled, cleared right to the very root, in order for you to reclaim more of your power, more of your flow, more of your leadership. So let me see here I just want to take a moment and kind of regroup and again I just wanted to drop in real quick and make this one a short and sweet one. You know some of the ways.
Speaker 1:Maybe the three-day experience isn't speaking to you, but some of the ways you can start to kind of open up space for this yourself might be to start to do a little bit of a cleanse, a body cleanse. Some of the things I'm going to be giving you as well, especially if you sign up by tomorrow night, is my three-day goddess glow cleanse, which is a perfect reset for you. But also we're going to be doing a closet detox. We're going to be doing a makeup bag detox, kind of getting rid of some of those more hormone disrupting products. But those are things you can start yourself Like. For me, personally, that's exactly where I start. I start to tune into who I'm being called to be. We're going to drop into the womb space. We're going to open up the timeline of your evolution for the next three months and we're going to start to clear and detox. And so these are things you can do for yourself.
Speaker 1:Start to clear out the old. Where does it feel energetically heavy in your physical world? This is also where the power of the Akashic records are very potent at starting to untangle where we're holding on to old stories. Right, we often have guilt or grief around it. We often allow it to define who we are, but we're meant to take the lessons and see the gifts and have it recalibrate into more of our power. The Akashic records are beautiful for clearing out the karmic residue that we're holding onto at the subconscious soul level so that we can reframe our experience, let go of the energy around the stories and come into a new space of creative power. So you might want to check out my free gift. It's hanging out on the akashicwomenschoolcom slash free gift.
Speaker 1:This is the seven day heart centered Akashic journaling practice. There's a mother wound audio training that comes with it. It could be something to just get started, just to be in the field, to start to clear, to purge and to start to connect in internally. Start to get clear clarity on what's holding you back but also what you're ready to open up to right. And it'll guide you through seven days of prompts to just start to open up to new energy, dropping into and coming home to your beauty right. And also, who are you being called to be right as a midlife matriarch, where is your next evolution? What does that look like? What does that timeline look and feel like to you? Start to open up to it. Don't allow life to happen to you. Don't let the narrative around what midlife is supposed to look like or how it looked for our mothers right. Open up to the possibility of vitality and vibrancy and power.
Speaker 1:In midlife, when we start to clear out a lot of these energies of depletion held at the level of the womb, we start to replenish our energy, we start to rewire our nervous system and hold our energy in a completely different way, we start to step into more of our creative power. And how we've been experiencing depletion and fatigue and burnout and disconnect up to this point, it can all change. And when we do start to anchor into this new place of power, our experience of prosperity shifts. We're not chasing, we're not pushing, we're not fatigued, we're not scraping by right. We're coming from a place of power where our energy is vital and vibrant. We become magnetic, we become attractors, our energy starts to feel full and vital and vibrant and that is the invitation of midlife. It's to say no more.
Speaker 1:I operated like that as a mother. I operated like that in my younger years I did. I certainly did as well. My twenties, for sure burnt the candle at both ends all the time as a mother. This was kind of when I started my journey. So for the first few years, absolutely. And then I really started to shift paradigms around motherhood. And now, moving into midlife, after upgrading my womb and devoting. You know I've worked at the level of the womb for a long time, but I really devoted and deepened into my practice the last eight months, really examining again my body foundations, really coming into a new place of my power, that it's okay to take up more space with who I am, with all of me, right, the raw parts of me, the parts that I have maybe in the past hid because it didn't feel digestible for others. This is a part of our beauty reclamation as midlife women.
Speaker 1:All right, so I'm going to keep the link in the show notes. I am in the middle of a rebrand so I don't currently have a website platform for this particular three-day event.

So there's a lot of private time that is devoted to supporting you, your hormonal health, your nervous system regulation, clearing out a lot of the womb fatigue, bringing you back home to deeper nourishment. I'm weaving in a lot of nourishment pieces and recipes and support pieces for you to shift your relationship to food and nourishment. Vitality, along with the Keshek record work, a lot of this identity work, shedding away the old and actually looking at what is the new identity that supports you and showing up in the full range of your feminine power as an emerging matriarch leader.
