Overcoming Mental Health Challenges for Women in Midlife | Your South Florida

Описание: Midlife is often called a "silent transition" — a time when women juggle career shifts, caregiving demands, physical changes, and identity struggles, often without support. In this conversation, Your South Florida host Arlene Borenstein sits down with two mental health leaders to talk about how local resources are helping women navigate this pivotal stage of life.

Katherine Murphy, CEO of NAMI Palm Beach County, shares insights into the emotional challenges facing midlife women — from rising anxiety and depression to the lingering stigma that still prevents many from seeking help. She also highlights NAMI’s free programs, peer-led groups, and community outreach efforts designed to support women who may be silently struggling.

Shari N. Warner, JD, LMFT, founder of Serendipity Women’s Mental Wellness Center, explains why she created a space dedicated to women’s mental health and how transitions like menopause, identity shifts, and relationship changes can impact emotional well-being. With a unique background in both law and therapy, Shari discusses the real barriers women face — and how her center’s specialized therapy and wellness services are helping break them down.

Together, they explore how women today are approaching mental health differently, the importance of normalizing support, and small but powerful first steps any woman can take toward healing.
