Life Intended
Life Intended is more than just a podcast. It’s a movement.
Hosted by Kelly Berry and Sadie Wackett, Life Intended is your space to break free from living on autopilot and step into a life designed with purpose, power, and self-trust.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected or stuck...you’re not alone. We’ve been there, too.
This show is for women who are ready to stop performing and start aligning. It’s for the high-achievers, the caretakers, the quietly burnt out and anyone craving more intention, clarity, and emotional wellness in their life.
Each week, you’ll hear real, raw conversations about:
- Self-leadership and personal transformation
- Mindset, resilience, and emotional wellness
- Career transitions and redefining success
- Motherhood, relationships, and identity
- And we always share methods and tools you can actually practice in your life, not just more content to consume
Whether you’re in a season of change, searching for clarity, or just tired of living by someone else’s rules, Life Intended offers a new path forward grounded in alignment, community, and growth.
This is the movement back to your voice, your truth, and your power.
Welcome to Life Intended. Let’s do this together.

Thriving in Your 40s: The Unspoken Challenges of Women in Midlife with Maye Angelastro
In this episode of Life Intended, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maye Angelastro, a licensed mental health counselor who brings invaluable insights into the silent struggles many women face in their late 30s and early 40s. The unique perspective of this discussion revolves around the often-overlooked emotional and hormonal upheavals that accompany this life stage and the critical importance of understanding and addressing these challenges holistically.
We discuss challenges like emotional dysregulation, identity crisis, and the need for reinvention. She emphasizes the importance of therapy, social support, and nutrition in navigating these challenges.
The conversation covers the topics of reinventing oneself, making permanent decisions, finding the right therapist, the impact of therapy, and the importance of holistic health. It also covers the signs and symptoms of mental health issues, the role of functional medicine, and the significance of gut health.
Takeaways
- Women in their early 40s experience emotional dysregulation, mood dysregulation, and a sense of identity crisis, often leading to a need for reinvention.
- Therapy, social support, and nutrition play a crucial role in addressing these challenges and navigating life transitions.
- The decision to initiate divorce is common among women in their early 40s, and it's important to make well-informed decisions based on proper steps and information.
