Midlife Wake-Up: Healing at the Root with Rory (Mindfulness Coach + Energy Medicine)
What if your “midlife crisis” is a midlife awakening? In this heartfelt conversation, Rory—mindfulness coach, Energy Medicine practitioner, and award-winning product design director—shares how chronic fatigue, mystery symptoms, and a life shake-up led him to holistic healing across mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
We talk about practical mindfulness (even when your mind won’t be quiet), somatic release (why anger often hides sadness), sound healing, breathwork, and the gentle discipline of rewriting old patterns. If you’ve felt off, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, this one’s a soft reset.
