Listen "Midlife Health & Purpose: Reclaiming Your Power and Vitality with Dr. Marissa Heisel"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Dr. Marissa Heisel, a holistic chiropractor, midwife, and child development expert with over 25 years of experience, to explore women’s health at midlife. Together, they unpack the physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that come with this stage, from hot flashes and shifting libido to identity transitions and the “empty nest” phase.
Dr. Heisel shares real-life stories showing the deep link between emotional well-being and physical health, and why midlife—often overlooked or misrepresented in media—can actually be a fertile time for purpose, leadership, and personal empowerment. This episode is a grounding, eye-opening invitation to embrace midlife not as a decline, but as a season of rediscovery, sovereignty, and vitality.
About the Guest
Dr. Marissa Heisel is a holistic healing expert specializing in chiropractic care, midwifery, and child development. She believes that “you are your own best medicine” and has dedicated her career to guiding women toward self-trust, emotional resilience, and vibrant health.

Key Takeaways :
Midlife is a power stage, not a decline. With decades of lived experience, women in midlife carry wisdom and leadership potential that can benefit their families, communities, and beyond.
Physical and emotional changes are interconnected. Hormonal shifts, hot flashes, and libido changes often occur alongside identity transitions, relationship shifts, and the “empty nest” experience.
Unresolved emotions impact physical health. Dr. Heisel shares stories illustrating how prolonged grief, stress, or loss can manifest as physical illness, emphasizing the importance of emotional processing.
Deep, genuine friendships matter. Superficial conversations often fall short; midlife can be the perfect time to cultivate relationships where vulnerability and authenticity are welcomed.
Media portrayals can distort reality. Many midlife women in media have had significant cosmetic work, shaping unrealistic standards and overshadowing the natural beauty of this life stage.
Community and conversation are vital. Honest dialogue with friends, partners, and family can help women navigate loneliness, purpose shifts, and new opportunities for self-expression.
Self-trust is the foundation of health. Learning to listen to your body, honor your inner authority, and reclaim your vitality is key to thriving in midlife.
