180. Dating and Choosing to Own Your Life with Elizabeth Sherman

Have you ever felt like the supporting actress in your own life, putting everyone else's needs before your own? In this episode with Elizabeth Sherman, a master certified health and life coach, we discussed the all-too-common experience of women sacrificing their needs for those around them to avoid feeling guilt, but creating resentment instead. Together, we explored the importance of reconnecting with oneself and asking for what we need, even if it means going against cultural and societal norms. Our conversation included a discussion on Elizabeth's decision to remain childless and the judgment she faced. We examined the economics of couples who do not have children and the trade-offs they make when deciding whether or not to have them. Listen in as Elizabeth shares her story and offers valuable advice on letting go of anxiety and finding meaningful connections.Featured on the Show: Elizabeth ShermanElizabeth Sherman is a Master Certified Health & Life Coach who helps women in peri/menopause manage her symptoms as well as all of the other stressful demands that seem to accompany this season of life:the physical changes that menopause and aging producethe emotional demands that accompany our life changes and family structuresthe physiological changes of how our body responds to external stimulus and how we respond to those changesthe mental load that we carry as we change our identity and how we see ourselves in the worldElizabeth hosts a weekly podcast called Done with Dieting: a podcast for the woman who, in spite of all of these demands, has been socialized to focus on her appearance, selflessly do for others, and in doing so becomes the best supporting actress in the movie of her own life.Elizabeth is a Chicago native, but now conducts her coaching business as an Expat in Mexico, and meets with her clients through video: focusing on the areas of health: eating, moving, stress and sleep management, body image and how we think about them through a DEI & feminist lens.Elizabeth's WebsiteElizabeth's PodcastElizabeth's FacebookElizabeth's InstagramElizabeth's LinkedInDiscover Your "Core Values Dating Blueprint" And How You Can Use It On: Dating AppsText Messages and Social Events To Meet & Attract Eligible Men Who Match YouDating with your Core Values helps you Easily Connect With Your True Match Partner (without chasing, settling, or wasting time with non-committal men)Click Here to Sign UpThe Core Values Dating Blueprint Helps you:DISCOVER YOUR CORE VALUES❤️ Take the core values test and discover your core valuesCREATE YOUR CORE VALUES BLUEPRINT❤️ Get the exact framework for crafting your core values dating blueprint that shows you what to say and how to date to meet the partner who’s right for youPUT YOUR BEST SELF OUT THERE AT EVERY STAGE OF DATING❤️ Learn exactly how to apply your core values to every part of dating - Add it to your dating profile so that it is as unique and compelling as you areGet Your Core Values Dating Blueprint Now
