Leeza Gibbons on Caregiving, Legacy & Not Losing Yourself

What if everything we were taught about midlife was wrong?What if midlife isn’t a crisis, but a calling?In this episode, we dismantle the outdated narrative that women are meant to sit down, be grateful, and stop wanting more in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Women today are not aging the way our mothers did, and this changes everything.Join Liz at her next Live event on zoom!

Instead of disappearing into the role of caregiver, Leeza made a radical choice: she transformed her pain into purpose. From that lived experience, Leeza’s Care Connection was born — a lifeline and community for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia.This is not a surface-level conversation. It's a lifeline.It’s an honest, soul-level reckoning with what it means to love deeply without losing yourself.In this episode, we explore:The emotional reality caregivers rarely say out loudThe hidden grief, guilt, and exhaustion so many women carryWhy self-care isn’t selfish — it’s survivalHow caregiving can become a portal to meaning and legacyWhat happens when identity cracks open in midlifeWhy community heals what isolation never canIf you are:A caregiverSupporting a parent or loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementiaLiving with burnout, guilt, or overwhelmOr navigating a major midlife transition…this episode will meet you exactly where you are — and remind you that you are not alone.Leezas Care Connection: https://leezascareconnection.org/home✨ This conversation is an invitation to soften, to reframe, and to remember:Legacy isn’t something we leave behind someday.It’s something we live — one choice, one act of care, one moment at a time.🎧 Listen now👍 Like🔔 Subscribe💬 Comment with what resonated📤 Share this episode with someone who needs it todaySponsor:Liz only trusts one travel agent for her retreats and personal travel needs.

Register here: https://www.lizsvatek.com/empowherIf your life looks good on paper but feels MEH, this episode is for you.In this powerful episode, Liz breaks down the 5 subtle signs you’re living in a disempowered state.Empowerment is a state of being — and most women were never taught how to access it! We don't know how to show up for others and for US.Liz shares how disempowerment quietly creeps into the lives of women over 40 through over-giving, people-pleasing, constant busyness, emotional exhaustion, and waiting to feel “ready.” You’ll learn why this isn’t a personal failure, it’s a predictable outcome of decades spent prioritizing everyone else.Here's what you'll learn in this episode:• Why empowerment is a nervous system state, not a mindset• How being “nice” can actually drain your power• Why boredom, restlessness, and numbness are signals — not problems• The real reason you feel disconnected from what you want• Why clarity comes after commitment, not before• How midlife is not a crisis — but an initiation into your next eraThis episode is both a wake-up call and a relief. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re not ungrateful.You’re ready.✨ Liz also invites you into EmpowHER, her free 3-day workshop designed to help women step out of autopilot and back into clarity, confidence, and grounded power.
