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.

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
