In this soul-stirring episode of Women Mastering Midlife, I sit down with transformational speaker, spiritual teacher, and author Elaine Glass to discuss the profound healing power of getting quiet. Elaine shares the story behind her book Get Quiet, how a chance encounter with a labyrinth changed her life, and why silence is the missing ingredient so many midlife women are seeking.
We explore how stress, over-productivity, and people-pleasing keep us disconnected from our bodies and truth and how reconnecting to that stillness helps us reclaim our power. Elaine walks us through the seven energetic paths in her book, each tied to a part of the body, and how we can use this framework to release emotional and physical blocks, regulate our nervous systems, and return to ourselves.
Whether you're going through a transition like divorce, empty-nesting, or simply feeling lost in the chaos, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and realign. Elaine and I also dive into:
Why rest is rebellious (and necessary)
Using the labyrinth as a tool for transformation
Letting go of guilt around peace and joy
How boundary-setting is an act of self-love
The connection between stress, inflammation, and midlife health
Why getting away from your environment may be the catalyst you need
How childhood clues may reveal your purpose today
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or ready for a shift—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
Get Quiet is available in print and Audible, with a unique body-based meditation at the end of each chapter to support your healing.
