An activation meditation is a guided practice meant to wake up a specific energy, frequency, or state within you. Instead of calming you down like a traditional meditation, it is designed to shift you into a desired mindset or frequency such as confidence, motivation, clarity, healing, creativity, or like this one.... your worth.

This can be done on a walk outside, on a treadmill, cleaning your house, doing laundry, cooking etc.

In This episode I talk about:

• How your thoughts shape your reality

• Neuroscience-based techniques to rewire your brain for confidence and success

• Why women in midlife are more prone to mindset blocks like burnout, perfectionism, and self-doubt

• The 3 mindset shifts that can change everything—from your fitness journey to your self-worth
• And more

Mindset work isn’t a one-time thing. It’s an ongoing practice. Every small shift you make compounds into bigger results over time.

If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to help you take this work deeper. DM me or check out my 1:1 coaching programs where I help women in midlife release self-doubt, shift their mindset, and step into their best lives.
