Terry Tateossian shares her powerful story of burnout, self sabotage, panic attacks, and the wake-up call that pushed her to change her life as a busy midlife woman. She explains how self sabotage can quietly show up in everyday habits and shares simple ways midlife women can recognize it, work through it, and start moving forward. 

Terry Tateossian is a serial entrepreneur, wellness expert, and the founder of House of Rose and THOR Retreats.

In this episode:

  • Terry shares how in midlife stress, burnout, self sabotage and panic attacks pushed her to a breaking point and even landed her in the hospital twice, giving her a powerful wake-up call that something had to change.
  • She talks about running a business, raising kids, and feeling overwhelmed all the time, which led to poor sleep, emotional eating, and using alcohol just to get through the day.
  • Terry explains how she tried many diets over the years, but the weight kept coming back because the real issue wasn’t just food — it was stress, habits, and self-sabotage.
  • She shares how asking for help changed everything and how learning about nutrition, sleep, movement, and balance slowly helped her rebuild her health.
  • She talks about stepping back and looking honestly at where your stress comes from, including work pressure, relationships, and saying yes when you really want to say no.
  • Terry explains how setting boundaries can protect your energy and help prevent the kind of overwhelm that often leads to self sabotage.
  • She  shares a fun way she started recognizing her patterns by calling them “boogeymen” and even imagining a board meeting with them to understand what was really going on.
  • Terry talks about how many self sabotage habits are actually rooted in fear or old emotional wounds (even in midlife), and how awareness is the first step to changing them.
  • She reminds us that taking care of our health is one of the best investments we can make, and that simple habits like better sleep, movement, and nutrition can make a huge difference.
  • She talked about her Free Micro Calculator - for more info, email her at: Terry (@) houseofrose.com
