What’s the first thing that crosses your mind when you think about getting older? For many of our communities, the transition to midlife doesn’t feel like a smooth transition, but a real earthquake that shakes our identity, our goals, and even our bodies. HERE you can listen to the podcast.
In the second season premiere of the Mujeres Create podcast, we dive into the midlife crisis, that silent struggle that many Latinas face behind closed doors. Titled “How to go from a Midlife Crisis to a Midlife Rising”, this episode breaks the taboo of aging to transform it into a rallying cry of war and empowerment.

The podcast is hosted by Yesenia Bello, a voice that knows perfectly well the challenges of the modern and creative woman.
With an outstanding track record in the world of branding, strategy and women’s empowerment, the host not only speaks from the theory; she speaks from the trenches.
In this episode, she herself “opens the curtain” on her own identity crisis, demonstrating that even the most successful women feel fractured at times.
The map to get out of the chaos: The 5 stages of “Rising”.
If you feel the ground shifting under your feet, the Mujeres Create host breaks down the five essential stages to move from crisis to fulfillment:
The Trigger: That event (or accumulation of them) that suddenly changes your world.
Anger: Learning to navigate the waves of anger and sense of injustice.
Denial: Understanding that critical point where we resist change.
The Exploration: The time to ask yourself, “Who am I really outside of my roles as mother, daughter or professional?”.
Acceptance: The final destination where you find the peace and power of your new version.
Breaking the silence in our community
In minority communities, these conversations are often “hush-hush” (an open secret).
We are taught to be strong and to move forward without complaining.
Women Create comes to tell you that it’s okay to feel lost.
This process is not designed to break you, but to prepare you for your most powerful “second act”.
Are you in the middle of your own personal earthquake or have you already found peace in this new stage? Tell us your experience in the comments and let’s share this rebirth together!
The episode is now available on all audio platforms, such as Apple Podcast and Spotify, where you can also listen to other titles promoted by QuéOnnda and Nueva Network, such as Renacer en el Duelo.
