In this heartfelt episode of Therapy with Sheri, Theresa Bruno and resident therapist Sheri Ryland dive into the emotional complexities of midlife, motherhood, and the invisible weight of societal expectations. They explore how the body holds onto unspoken trauma, how physical pain can be a messenger, and how we can begin to truly listen to what our bodies—and our boundaries—are trying to tell us. Sheri shares powerful insights on: The "I should have" guilt that haunts many in their 30s and 40s Why physical pain can be rooted in emotional trauma How to recognize whether you're safe or reacting to old wounds The courage it takes to walk away from unsupportive communities Why finding “your people” is essential for mental wellness Whether you’re a parent navigating judgment, a woman reckoning with life’s milestones, or someone simply trying to reconnect with yourself—you are not alone. Tune in for an honest, compassionate, and empowering conversation that reminds us to trust our bodies, hold our boundaries, and find strength in safe community.Connect with The Soul Talks:The Soul Talks website: https://www.soultalkswiththeresa.com/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@soultalkswiththeresa?si=UQ-PHiZOVqqgA3W2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesoultalks.podcast?igsh=MWIzOWd1c3E4cmF6Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555855691008&mibextid=LQQJ4dTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesoultalks.podcast?_t=ZT-8xcsH6SMXsF&_r=1Get your copy of Theresa's book "He's Not Coming Back": https://bit.ly/40qGX6Y
