As a therapist and a single woman over 40, my intention for 2026 is to continue prioritizing mental health in a way that feels realistic, compassionate, and sustainable for my midlife era.

Healing anxiety over 40 means understanding how it shows up in the mind, body, and nervous system, not just managing thoughts, but supporting emotional health, setting boundaries, and learning how to feel safe in your body again.

Integrative mental health care allows space for nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and practical tools that support long-term healing.

Being single over 40 is not something to fix. It’s a new chapter that can be grounding, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling when mental health is supported with care and community.

🫶 If you’re a single woman over 40 looking for therapist-led support for midlife anxiety, dating, friendships, divorce, loneliness, and the grief of the life you thought you’d have…you’re in the right place.

This is why I created the Single Sisters Circle 40+ 👉 real support, real tools, real conversations.

what are you leaving behind in 2025?

12/15/2025

There’s a moment during the holidays when you realize something feels different, but you can’t quite name why.

You’re going through the motions, showing up where you can, but the traditions that once felt comforting don’t land the same anymore. And yet, you haven’t created new ones. So you’re left in this quiet in-between space.

This kind of holiday grief is common in midlife…especially after loss, big life changes, or when you’re single and the season doesn’t revolve around the same structures it once did. It can show up as anxiety, sadness, or a sense of not belonging anywhere.

💮 If this resonates, pause for a moment.
• Place a hand on your chest.
• Take one slow breath in, and a longer breath out.

Nothing needs to be fixed right now. You’re not broken. this is grief.

For some people, the holidays bring joy and connection. For others (especially for us single women over 40) this season can trigger grief, loneliness, and anxiety.

Losing parents. Aging. Being single. Letting go of old versions of life. These experiences change how Christmas feels, and that’s not something to push through or fix.

As a therapist & coach who has worked with anxious women navigating midlife transitions (over 20 years), I want you to know:
💪it’s okay to change traditions.
💪It’s okay to opt out.
💪It’s okay to honor your nervous system this holiday season.

If Christmas feels heavy this year, try this:
• Simplify plans
• Choose rest over obligation
• Just say ‘no’
• Create a tradition that feels comforting
• Allow grief to exist without judging it

If the holidays are bringing up grief, anxiety, or a sense of heaviness you weren’t expecting-you don’t have to carry that alone.

I’m holding a free, gentle holiday support workshop inside the Single Sisters Circle. No pressure to fix anything—just a calm, therapist-led space to breathe, feel understood, and learn a few grounding tools for this season.

If that feels supportive, the 🔗 is in my bio. 💛

She’s seriously the only doctor that makes me feel like a person. This is what women-centered healthcare should feel like. ❣️

When a doctor knows your name, asks about your life, celebrates your progress, and actually advocates for your health…it’s regulating. It’s healing. And honestly? It shouldn’t feel this rare… but it does.

Every time I leave her office, I feel calmer, validated, and cared for…like I just had the best therapy session. If you’ve ever left a medical appointment feeling dismissed, rushed, or invisible, you’re not imagining it.

You deserve providers who listen, go above and beyond, and treat your health like it matters…because it does.

💛 For my midlife women navigating anxiety, hormones, and healthcare fatigue: this is your reminder to keep advocating for yourself.

For many women over 40, this question can feel loaded. It can bring up anxiety, old expectations, or the pressure to explain your whole life when you weren’t prepared to.

I hear this all the time in my work…and I’ve felt it myself. That’s why I created this list of calm, grounded responses you can actually say back. Not to be defensive, but to protect your nervous system and honor where you are without over-explaining.

✨ Save this for the next time the question catches you off guard.

✨ Follow if you’re a single woman over 40 looking for therapist-led support with anxiety, boundaries, dating, and midlife transitions.

2025 was an interesting year. 2025 taught me more about myself than any other year so far…as a single woman in her 40s, navigating health scares, grief, dating disappointment, and the pressure to “catch up” in a world that still expects women to follow a traditional timeline.

But here’s what I realized: I’m not behind. I’m not failing. I’m not “late.” My life just looks different than I imagined years ago… and it’s still meaningful, beautiful, and worth celebrating.

If you’re a midlife woman who’s been carrying similar feelings 👉 the “everyone else is further ahead” anxiety, the quiet loneliness, the heaviness of making big decisions alone…you’re not the only one. I hope these lessons remind you to soften, breathe, and trust the pace you’re moving at. 💛

✨ And if the holidays feel especially hard this year…I created a FREE workshop for single women navigating the holidays solo.
