Insights from the Couch - Real Talk for Women at Midlife
Insights from the Couch is your go-to podcast for smart, self-aware women in midlife navigating perimenopause, burnout, marriage shifts, identity changes, and the emotional chaos of “What now?” Hosted by best friends and seasoned therapists Colette Fehr and Laura Bowman, this is where therapy meets real life — bold conversations, hard truths, and powerful tools to help you get unstuck and come alive.
Whether you're questioning your relationship, struggling with empty nest, battling people-pleasing or perfectionism, or just feeling flat and disconnected from yourself — this show is for you.
Colette and Laura bring decades of clinical experience (and lived midlife wisdom) to every episode. Expect real talk on the things no one prepares you for: midlife reinvention, perimenopause and hormone shifts, marriage and divorce, boundaries, friendships, confidence, identity loss, and what it actually takes to build a life you want at this stage — not just one you tolerate.
This is where smart women get unstuck and come alive.

Insights from the Couch - Real Talk for Women at Midlife
Welcome to Season 1 of Insights from the Couch, Mental Health at Midlife
Do you ever wish you had two therapists on call to answer your most pressing questions? Questions like, 'How do I prepare for the empty nest?', 'How do I create my second act?', and 'How do I reconnect with my partner?' We're going to dive into it all.
This is 'Insights from the Couch' with Colette Fehr, licensed couples therapist, and Laura Bowman, licensed individual therapist.
These are the conversations we have all the time as close friends, and that we have every day with women just like you in therapy. We're here to unpack the most pressing, private issues you're grappling with, like 'I can't stand my partner', 'I think I have a drinking problem', or 'I'm afraid something's off with my child' and explore them honestly, out loud with you. As therapists and as women experiencing many of the same challenges, we'll bring you thoughtful conversations, expert interviews, and real women's stories. We'll help you make sense of these issues, demystify them, explore them, and offer you the best of what we know as therapists and the best of what we think as women, so you don't have to navigate these things alone.
Join us for the first season of 'Insights from the Couch', with new episodes airing every Wednesday.
