Exploring the mindset shift from midlife crisis to midlife opportunity. A judgment free space to talk openly about the third chapter in a woman’s life, fully embracing the midlife journey and creating meaningful and intentional experiences. Your host, Sonia Flores, shares her midlife awakening journey to peel back the layers society has placed on her, reawaken the spark inside and come back to her inner authentic woman. She is also joined by experts in different areas of learning and growth for women in the midlife stage, 40 to 60 years of age. At the heart of her coaching approach lies a deep-rooted belief that we have the ability to create the life we truly want. But many times, we are hanging on to what has outlived its usefulness. The intention is that these conversations will spark something in you too.

In this deeply personal episode, I share what it feels like to be the eldest daughter of immigrant parents during a time of heartbreaking unrest in Los Angeles and across our country.

55. The Truth About Abundance Cathy Heller Helped Me See
What if abundance wasn’t something you chased, but something you allowed? In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing the 9 biggest takeaways from Cathy Heller’s powerful book Abundant Ever After. These insights cracked me open in the best way, challenging how I think about money, purpose, success, and what it really means to receive. This book reminded me of the power of mindset, alignment, and trusting the role we’re meant to play in this life. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, scarcity, or the pressure to do things a certain way… this one’s for you. In this episode I share: Why money is meant to move and how holding onto it might be blocking your flow How to become a vessel for abundance and opportunity The power of claiming your unique role in the collective Why we often unconsciously choose to stay stuck The hidden cost of comparison and trying to live someone else’s version of success How to stop waiting for “someday” and start living now What your emotions are telling you about your frequency How your repeated thoughts are shaping your beliefs and your reality The real reason you might struggle to receive abundance and how to expand your capacity to have This is an honest, personal look at how this book shifted the way I move through the world, and I hope it opens something for you too. 🎧 Listen now and then message me: Which takeaway resonated with you most?

54. Psychedelics 101: Healing, Integration, and Inner Transformation
What if the medicine you’re looking for isn’t in a bottle… but in a ceremony? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Carla Detchon, integration coach and host of the Psychedelic Divas podcast, to explore the healing potential of psychedelics and plant medicine—especially for women in midlife navigating transformation, grief, and personal growth. Carla shares her journey of over 40 years working with psychedelics, including two decades studying under psychedelic pioneer Ralph Metzner. Together, we explore what these sacred tools really are (spoiler: not all are “plant-based”), how they can be used for intentional healing, and what to know before stepping into this kind of work. Whether you’re curious about microdosing, deep ceremony, or just want to hear what’s possible—this episode is a beautiful starting point for the sacred journey inward. In this episode, we talk about: What psychedelics actually are and the difference between plant-based and synthetic substances How psychedelics can support emotional healing, spiritual growth, and trauma release Why intention and integration are essential parts of any healing journey The stages of a psychedelic journey: from preparation to ceremony to integration What microdosing is and how it differs from full (macro) journeys How to find a safe, ethical, and trustworthy facilitator The truth about the “healing window” that opens after a psychedelic experience How psychedelics help us reconnect with our intuition and inner wisdom Do’s and don’ts for beginners—and how to know if you’re truly ready Have questions about psychedelics?

32. The Startling Truth About Ageism and Gender Bias in Midlife Women’s Healthcare with Dr. Izette Aragon
In today’s episode, Dr. A and I are diving into a topic that's both near and dear, and perhaps a bit cheeky, to many of our hearts: the kaleidoscope of challenges and chuckles that women over 40 face when it comes to our healthcare. From the mysterious vanishing act of our needs in the medical community to debunking the myths that surround the so-called "middle-age" like an old wives' tale, we're exploring it all. Think of it as your guide to navigating the sometimes baffling, often overlooked, but undeniably important aspects of women’s health as we age—gracefully, of course, with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of defiance. So, grab your favorite cup of tea (or glass of wine—we don’t judge), and let’s unravel the complexities of ageism, gender bias, and the pink pill mystery together, layer by playful layer. We discuss: · Ways in which women over 40 are often overlooked or underserved by the medical community. · How ageism and gender bias within the healthcare system contribute to the inadequate medical treatment of women in their midlife. · Unique mental health challenges women over 40 face based. · Misconceptions medical professionals often have about the physical or mental health of women over 40, and how these misconceptions affect women: → Physical, hormonal, sexual and mental health changes → Low sexual desire and the pink pill → Hot flashes and dressing in layers → Muscle atrophy → Proaging and anti-aging About Dr. Izette Aragon: Dr. Aragon (known as Dr. A by her clients and peers) is a licensed psychotherapist in CA, CO, and TX, who specializes in complex trauma. She is trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and in EMDR. Her patients appreciate her direct, no non-sense, and loving approach to therapy.

31. Energy Hack to Call in Money
In this episode, I'm diving into the intriguing concept of money's energy. It's a common belief that we need to scrape together the funds to invest in ourselves before deciding to actually make the investment. However, money doesn't exactly follow this script. We need to embrace our desires first, particularly when it comes to investing in our growth, and then the money tends to follow. "The how is in the yes." I know, it sounds a bit counterintuitive. Throughout this episode, I'll unpack this idea and share several examples to back it up. Join me to explore the fascinating dynamics of money's energy. Make the decision to invest in yourself, take action (whether that's signing up for a course, booking a coaching session, or attending a healing retreat) and watch as the money appears and the magic unfolds! ✨Complimentary 20 minute energy clearing + intuitive guidance session: 🌿Empower Your Midlife Journey: A 7-Day Journaling Experience for Self Discovery 📱 Instagram: 💻 Website:
