What if everything you thought about empowerment was backwards? Dr. Amanda Hanson, renowned psychologist, speaker, and author, flips the script on empowerment and reveals why true power starts within. Known as The Midlife Muse, Amanda is a global advocate for women redefining their lives beyond societal expectations. In this episode, Dr. Amanda shares how sensuality is the secret to unlocking inner strength and why the need for validation holds so many of us back. We also talk about breaking generational patterns, navigating triggers like jealousy, and raising confident daughters in a world designed to shrink women. This conversation is raw, real, and packed with takeaways to help you reclaim your power and rewrite the rules. Tune in for a fresh perspective on stepping into your full potential.
