Rewrite the Rules: Midlife Reboot Bundle
In this special episode of Unfolding, I introduce the Rewrite the Rules: A Midlife Reboot bundle, powerful, free collection of 20 handpicked resources to support women who are ready to stop putting themselves last. I shares why I created the bundle, what makes midlife a turning point (not a crisis), and how my own story shaped my mission for this bundle. Plus, I highlight every contributor and category — from parenting to perimenopause, career change to confidence — and explains how every opt-in supports better midlife care through donations to The Menopause Society and KC Care Health Center.

Transcript
Welcome to the Unfolding podcast.
2
:I am Erica Voell.
3
:I am a Decision Mentor and
Inner-Trust Guide, and I work with
4
:women mainly those in midlife.
5
:Trust their inner guidance, understand
their unique strengths, and stop
6
:saying yes to what drains them Using
Human Design coaching and Reiki, we
7
:clear the noise so their no feels
powerful and their yes feels true.
8
:When I originally created this
podcast, I created it as a space
9
:to talk about the truths of midlife
identity and really evolving into
10
:becoming more of our true selves.
11
:And today's episode is
really special because.
12
:I finally get to share something that I
have poured months of energy, intention,
13
:and love into, and I am so excited
to finally be able to share this.
14
:It is a completely free collection
called The Rewrite the Rules,
15
:a midlife Reboot bundle.
16
:So why did I focus on midlife for women?
17
:Because we've been taught for so
long that midlife is a crisis.
18
:It is not a crisis.
19
:I know some people go through these
shifts where they feel like their life
20
:is a crisis, and we have these moments.
21
:In our mid forties where we're
like, is this all there is?
22
:But it's really a shift into becoming
more of our wise, true selves.
23
:It's a time when we finally stopped
measuring our value by how useful
24
:we are or how agreeable we are to
everyone else, and in the moment
25
:we realize that our mothers.
26
:Whispered about menopause and midlife,
and we are so done whispering.
27
:This is where I am so grateful for
some of the celebrities that have
28
:brought this up and into the forefront
because we need to be talking about it.
29
:We need to stop whispering in corners
and midlife is when we start asking like,
30
:what is the next season going to be like?
31
:What gets to be more true for me?
32
:And how can I be more of my true self?
33
:So why did I create the
rewrite, the Rules Bundle?
34
:This is for women who are like me
and women like you, and women who
35
:have spent decades doing what we
thought we were supposed to do.
36
:Buying into the bill of goods.
37
:That has turned out to be bullshit.
38
:We've built careers, we're raising
families, we're caregiving, we're
39
:managing households, and we're
being everything to everyone.
40
:And somewhere along the way
we lost touch with ourselves.
41
:I know this so intimately because I
spent years shape shifting, trying
42
:to be who I thought I should be.
43
:I changed jobs, I changed directions.
44
:I tried to fit into a mold that never fit.
45
:And no matter how hard I worked, I
still felt like I was falling short.
46
:I felt like I was failing.
47
:I wasn't enough.
48
:But everything changed
when I found Human Design.
49
:And you can go back to other
episodes and listen to more
50
:about my story with Human Design.
51
:But with Human Design, I started to trust
my body and I stopped over functioning as
52
:a way of like trying to prove my worth.
53
:So what I have done in this bundle is
I have pulled together a community of
54
:experts, of 20 brilliant women offering
free resources to help you do the same.
55
:This bundle is about validation
and clarity and relief,
56
:and remembering yourself.
57
:And for every person who signs up
to opt into the bundle, my company
58
:is donating $1 split between two
organizations that matter so deeply to me.
59
:The Menopause Society, which is helping
lead the conversation on improving care
60
:and access for women in midlife life,
really providing a lot of information
61
:about menopause and perimenopause.
62
:To doctors and providers, and the other
organization is the KC Care Health Center.
63
:This is a Kansas City based
nonprofit that provides high quality
64
:healthcare to women and people
who otherwise could not afford it.
65
:And healthcare is deeply personal to me.
66
:I have had health issues much of
my adult life, but when it really
67
:affected me most is before Obamacare.
68
:In the mid nineties, I could
not get health insurance.
69
:I had a preexisting condition that
stopped me from being able to access
70
:healthcare in the way that I really needed
I didn't always get the preventative
71
:care that I needed because I knew
that I most likely would not be able
72
:to afford it, so I put things off.
73
:It was a very long five years.
74
:And then last year after I turned
50, I joined a perimenopause book
75
:group and it was so informative and
I was shocked to learn how under
76
:researched and poorly understood
this stage of life is even in:
77
:Women as a whole are under researched, but
women in midlife are even less represented
78
:because in medical school, only 20%
of the education that OBGYNs receive
79
:is about perimenopause and midlife.
80
:There's so much focus on delivering
babies and pregnant women that they
81
:don't even think about the fact that
half of the population is dealing
82
:with perimenopause and post-menopause.
83
:There's so little information
for doctors and for us as women,
84
:the information is so scattered.
85
:It's confusing, it's full of gaps.
86
:There's so much stuff online that
is actually not even true, and
87
:there are symptoms that maybe
don't, aren't fully understood.
88
:Like I never could understand why.
89
:Some days I can see well, and
other days I can't see well.
90
:And then I went to my optometrist and
she said, yeah, welcome to perimenopause.
91
:Your eyes are gonna change daily.
92
:And then I found out that I
have morning plantar fasciitis.
93
:I can't get out of bed sometimes,
not because I don't wanna get
94
:outta bed, but because I get
up and my feet are just like.
95
:Oh, I don't wanna move.
96
:I learned about this from my massage
therapist and from this book group,
97
:and my massage therapist actually
gave me a tool to use to help me
98
:be able to get out of bed without
feeling like I'm going to fall over.
99
:And unless you have the right
provider and a lot of time and
100
:money, you're probably often left
to figure this all out on your own.
101
:And to this, I say I'm so grateful
again to those who are bringing
102
:perimenopause into the forefront.
103
:Thank goodness.
104
:For Oprah and Drew Barrymore and the other
celebrities who are stepping forward,
105
:Glennon Doyle and talking about this.
106
:I have, as I have been researching for
this bundle, finding people to contribute.
