In this episode of The Midlife Rebel Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Evette Rose — author, spiritual teacher, and trauma recovery expert — to explore how emotions live in the body, why midlife symptoms aren’t random, and what it actually takes to feel steady again.
Evette shares her own journey from atheism, burnout, and collapse into a deeper understanding of trauma, regulation, and healing. We talk about how unresolved emotional stress can map itself onto specific physical symptoms, how psychosomatics works in real life (not theory), and why sensitivity isn’t a flaw — it’s information.
We explore epigenetics as lived experience, not a buzzword. Families pass on stress responses, coping patterns, and survival strategies — but they aren’t fixed destinies. Evette explains how to recognise whether something you’re experiencing is yours, inherited, or simply accumulated, and how daily self-checks can prevent overwhelm from tipping into collapse.
Menopause becomes a key focus. Suppressed anger rises. Boundaries become non-negotiable. Brain fog and emotional reactivity point to overload, not decline. Evette breaks down why rage often surfaces at this stage of life, and how regulation — not suppression — is what allows real change to take hold.
You’ll also come away with practical tools you can use immediately: breath techniques to interrupt reactive patterns, movement to burn off cortisol, sound frequencies to calm the nervous system, and guidance on timing — why big decisions are best made from a regulated state, not a wounded one.
This is a conversation about listening to the body, respecting its signals, and redefining what it means to be a midlife rebel — not reactive, but rooted.
