Why Did No One Warn Us About this Midlife Shit? Episode Four

Thrive with Kira Sabin: A Positive Psychology Podcast

In Episode 4 of my five-part series, I’m talking about something that hits all of us in midlife: the rage.

That low-key, high-voltage, "I swear to God if the dishwasher beeps one more time..." kind of rage.

Here’s the thing: You’re not broken. You’re not crazy. You’re just awake — and your nervous system is officially done putting up with the bullshit.

🧠 In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why the rage isn’t random — and why it’s not a flaw

• What’s really going on in your body (hello perimenopause, my old frenemy)

• Why your nervous system is basically a cornered raccoon right now

• How chronic stress + no emotional processing = midlife meltdown

• The two sides of unregulated rage: numbing out vs. exploding

• What NOT to do with all your rage (trust me, I’ve screamed at a microwave)

• What to actually do to heal, regulate, and stop losing your shit

✨ Key Takeaway:

Rage isn’t the problem. It’s the flashing neon sign pointing to what needs healing.

You don’t have to stay stuck in rage mode — and you definitely don’t have to figure it out alone.
