Episode 700: The Difference Between Coping and Recovering
Episode 700
Sunday, 25 October, 2026

Coping and recovering can look remarkably similar from the outside. Both involve a pause in the difficulty. Both offer some form of relief. But they produce completely different outcomes over time.

Recovering is addressing the source. Having the difficult conversation. Making the hard decision. Backing off when the world expects you to charge forward. I share what coping most commonly looks like in midlife women and offer the most useful diagnostic question I know for telling the two apart: am I feeling better, or am I just feeling less?
