About

Ever had one tiny thing — a snippy text, an eye roll from your teenager, a comment from your mother — send you into a full-blown emotional tornado?


On this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with psychologists Dr. Alicia Smart and Dr. Jesse Finkelstein, co-founders of TheraHive, to make dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) refreshingly simple.


They explain why struggling with big emotions is a skills gap, not a personal flaw, and walk through tools you can use right at your desk: the STOP skill for pausing before you react, and paced breathing (in for four, out for six) to calm your body fast. Plus, why flexible limits can work better than brick-wall boundaries, how to tap into your “wise mind,” and what it means to build a life worth living in midlife. Alicia also opens up about letting go of the DBT center she spent years building — and the radical acceptance it took.


If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through stress or feeling more alone than you’d admit, this one’s for you.

✨ What You’ll Learn

•     Why DBT treats emotional struggles as a skills gap — not proof that something’s wrong with you

•     How the STOP skill helps you pause before you snap at your boss, your partner, or your teen

•     A one-minute breathing hack — inhale for 4, exhale for 6 — to calm your nervous system anywhere

•     The difference between boundaries and limits, and why flexible limits are easier to keep

•     How “wise mind” and building a life worth living help you realign with your values in midlife
