At 45, Yesenia Bello has decided to break her silence on a subject that often remains a whisper in therapy: the midlife crisis in women. “I thought I was going crazy,” she confesses with disarming honesty. And the fact is that, while men associate this stage with sports cars and media divorces, for Latin women it is an internal, profound and sometimes devastating process. HERE you can listen to the podcast.
Here we summarize the 5 stages that Yesenia Bello broke down about the midlife crisis in Latina women, in the new must-see episode of Mujeres Create:

The first stage is the Trigger Point.
It’s that moment when your clothes, your work or even your own skin starts to make you uncomfortable.
You are no longer the same and the questions start to well up, “Why do I always have to please others?”.
Don’t fight it, just watch.
Anger and fury
Be careful here! This stage is pure fire.
It’s when you want to send everything away: the boss, the husband and old habits.
Yesenia warns that it is a stage that can make the body sick if it is not managed, but it is necessary to bring out the truths that you had stored.
Denial
It’s the “nothing is happening here” as you focus on the outside so you don’t see the inside.
It is not wanting to accept that the body and soul need to evolve.
Botox does not cure the soul.
Exploration: Rebirth
This is where Yesenia Bello traded advertising for meditation bowls and holistic wellness.
It’s proving who you are outside of your titles of “wife,” “mother” or “executive.”
It is giving yourself permission to fail and to try new things.
Acceptance and intentionality
The end of the tunnel.
Accept that what does not work is repaired or let go.
It is choosing with intention what you want for your life and realizing that the “cyclone” has passed to leave you a clean ground on which to build something better.
Reconstruction tools:
Yesenia Bello does not leave women alone in the crisis, but gives golden advice:
Therapy without taboos: Even for Latino families who say “there is no trauma here,” therapy is the master key.
Deconstruct identity: You are not just your job or your partner. You are a soul with the right to reinvent yourself.
Balance energies: Stop acting from your masculine side (providing and protecting) and allow your feminine side to flow and rest.
Goodbye to perfection: “I looked bad in the videos and didn’t want to post them, but it’s the message that matters”. Tell yourself that you have margin for error!
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 Interdimensional Astrology.
What about you Onnda, have you felt that “trigger point” of wanting to change everything or are you in the middle of an exploration stage?
