Summary

What if the negative thoughts keeping you awake at 3 AM aren't trying to torture you—but are actually messengers with critical information about what you need most? If you've ever felt consumed by worries about money, regrets about parenting, or fears about aging, you're not alone. But according to Dr. Yasmine Saad, one of New York's top three psychologists, everything we've been taught about handling these thoughts is backwards.

In this conversation, Dr. Saad reveals why midlife creates the perfect storm for mental overwhelm, how hormonal changes directly affect your thought patterns, and why fighting your negative thoughts might be the worst thing you can do. She introduces a revolutionary five-step method for decoding the messages your mind is desperately trying to send you—and why understanding these messages is the key to transformation.

We dive deep into the mind-body connection through traditional Chinese medicine, exploring how physical symptoms like hives, shoulder pain, and digestive issues are directly connected to the emotions you've absorbed and the mental patterns you're running. Dr. Saad explains why meditation and positive thinking often backfire, what your "energy signature" reveals about how you should approach healing, and the critical differences between psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and coaches.

This isn't another conversation about "managing" your mental health. This is about understanding why your mind works the way it does in midlife, what it's trying to tell you, and how to use that information to create the life you actually want.

If you're ready to stop fighting yourself and start listening to what your mind and body are trying to communicate, this episode will change everything.

We've got a lot to talk about

1:11.2

today because I've got one of the top three psychologists in New York, Dr. Yasmin, sad, and she told me

1:17.4

that even though her last name spells sad, it actually means quite something different in her

1:22.5

language. It means happy. So I'm excited to have this chat today because midlife mental health is something we do not actually talk enough about. We talk about things like we just, we label it. We say it's depression or it's empty nest syndrome, but we don't really talk about it. And what I see, at least with what I do every day, is all these things going on in our bodies. All these things going and and we're sitting here trying to figure out, is it hormones?
