Midlife is often framed as a crisis, but what if it’s not about everything falling apart? What if it’s about what simply becomes no longer tolerable?

In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson explores what she calls the “Queenager” season of life, a developmental transition where capacity shifts, nervous system needs change, and old ways of pushing, performing, and people-pleasing start to cost too much. This stage isn’t about becoming more or fixing yourself, but about remembering who you are and learning how to listen to your body with honesty and respect.

Leah weaves together nervous system science, midlife realities, identity shifts, community, and embodiment, offering a compassionate lens for women who feel themselves changing but don’t yet have language for it. If midlife has you questioning your energy, relationships, roles, or expectations, this episode invites you to slow down, release outdated beliefs, and reconnect with your capacity, consent, and self-leadership. She also invites you to come join her community:

We’ll explore:

• Midlife isn’t about crisis, it’s about capacity changing
• What once felt tolerable can quietly become too expensive for the nervous system
• The Queenager season is about remembering, not becoming
• Rest is not a reward, it’s an act of self-leadership
• Heaviness is not strength, and hiding is not safety
• Connection and normalization matter more than fixing or optimizing
• Your nervous system is the infrastructure behind every decision you make
