Thrive with Kira Sabin: A Positive Psychology Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In Episode 4 of my five-part series, I’m talking about something that hits all of us in midlife: the rage.

That low-key, high-voltage, "I swear to God if the dishwasher beeps one more time..." kind of rage.

Here’s the thing:
You’re not broken. You’re not crazy.
You’re just awake — and your nervous system is officially done putting up with the bullshit.

• Why the rage isn’t random — and why it’s not a flaw

• What’s really going on in your body (hello perimenopause, my old frenemy)

• Why your nervous system is basically a cornered raccoon right now

• How chronic stress + no emotional processing = midlife meltdown

• The two sides of unregulated rage: numbing out vs. exploding

• What NOT to do with all your rage (trust me, I’ve screamed at a microwave)

• What to actually do to heal, regulate, and stop losing your shit

✨ Key Takeaway:

Rage isn’t the problem.
It’s the flashing neon sign pointing to what needs healing.

You don’t have to stay stuck in rage mode — and you definitely don’t have to figure it out alone.

👯‍♀️ Want to stop white-knuckling through life and finally learn how to regulate, reset, and rebuild your energy (and your life)?

EPISODE 3: Why We Don't Like Ourselves Very Much (Gen X Women Edition)

💥 In Episode 3 of my five-part series, I’m getting real about the deep, invisible ways women—especially Gen X women—were taught from day fucking one not to actually like ourselves.

🧠 I’m breaking down why so many of us struggle with self-worth, how it’s completely different from self-esteem or confidence, and why no amount of gold stars, trophies, or people-pleasing will fill the damn gap.

• Over-giving until you’re fucking exhausted (and resent everyone)

• Confusing being busy with being important

• Struggling to take a goddamn compliment without deflecting it

• Feeling like you have to earn love, worth, or even rest

• Saying “yes” to shit you already know you’ll resent

• Building walls around yourself and silently daring people to break them down (hint: they won’t)

…If that sounds familiar, this one’s gonna hit deep. And you might laugh-snort a few times too.

• The real difference between self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth (nope, not the same thing)

• Why Gen X women were conditioned to tie our value to our goddamn usefulness & perfection

• How early praise and punishment set us up for a lifetime of people-pleasing

• The sneaky ways self-abandonment shows up in midlife

• Why midlife is the perfect time to burn that shit down and build something better

• How Thrive Midlife helps women rebuild self-worth from the inside fucking out

Thrive Midlife is my six-month program rooted in neuroscience, positive psychology, and deep, radically honest coaching.
It’s where you stop hustling for validation and finally start building the kind of self-worth that changes everything.

I think one of the roughest parts of being in midlife is realizing that most of the things you were taught about being a girl/woman growing were complete and total BS.

I feel like I have been spending YEARS gut-checking my beliefs and realizing a bunch of the ideas I was sold were based in old school misogyny and were keeping me in a fear/scarcity place.

Today I go through 10 Beliefs I was raised with that were complete BS!

Maybe you learned them too.
