S1 E1 From Manifesting to Surrender with Mary Beth Bezzina

In this first-ever guest episode of Midlife Unfiltered, Margit is joined by her soul sister, occupational therapist and mentor Mary Beth Bezzina, for a deep and honest conversation about midlife awakening, surrender, and trusting life beyond effort and striving. Together, they explore the shift many women experience in midlife — moving from manifesting and control into surrender, ease and grace. Mary Beth shares her personal journey of letting go of expectations around career and purpose, and how saying yes to unexpected opportunities led her into deeply meaningful work in Rwanda and a renewed sense of service, connection and joy. This episode is about wisdom earned, not learned. About relationships over results. And about discovering that midlife is not a decline — it’s a powerful expansion into who you really are.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why manifesting can feel exhausting in midlife — and what comes after it

• The difference between striving and surrender

• How trust, ease and playfulness change the way life unfolds

• Letting go of the career you thought you were meant to have

• The quiet power of relationships and soul sisters

• Lessons from Rwanda about reciprocity, community and humanity
