Episode 18 season 6: Biz Cush on Midlife Transitions

If the way you’ve been doing things isn’t quite as aligned as it needs to be, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush talks about what to expect as your system begins to evolve.


We keep trying to fit into environments that aren’t supportive of our highly sensitive systems. And as we’re evolving, we begin to notice a greater awareness for this misalignment, where things no longer fit.
— Biz Cush

Show Notes:

Have you outgrown the way you’ve been doing life? Have the things that used to work stopped working? Do you feel like something doesn’t quite fit right? You’ve done the work, adapted, developed a set of tools, but you’re drawn to deeper change. If so, don’t be discouraged. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, talks about the complicated feelings that can arise as your relationship with your sensitivity evolves and you transition to a life that is more closely aligned to your needs.
