In this episode of Getting to After, Chatone Morrison and Morganne Bustos talk about one of the most common midlife experiences that’s hard to explain — and even harder to say out loud.
When you don’t feel like yourself.
Not sick.
Not in crisis.
Not falling apart.
Just… off.
This episode is a gentle space for the woman who’s been carrying on quietly, while something in her body keeps whispering, pay attention.
Together, we explore why phrases like “Welcome to your 40s” often miss the mark, and how dismissing subtle emotional and physical shifts can leave women feeling unseen rather than supported.
In this conversation, you’ll find:
Language for a feeling many women recognize but rarely name
Reflection questions to help you notice what feels different, heavier, or overdue for care
A grounding practice to help your body settle and arrive
A full EFT tapping session designed to support you even when clarity hasn’t come yet
Because tapping doesn’t require you to know exactly what’s wrong.
It gives your body a way to soften — and often, the words follow.
There’s nothing you need to prove here.
You’re allowed to notice.
You’re allowed to be curious.
You’re allowed to take yourself seriously without making your experience dramatic.
And if you’ve been feeling off, sweetheart, that doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It may simply mean something in you is asking to be heard.
