Midway through summer, it’s easy to feel the pressure to do more, be more, or chase some kind of glow-up. But what if your next season isn’t about transformation, but instead presence?
In this gentle episode, I explore how to move through midlife (and midsummer) with more grace and less urgency. You’ll learn how to recognize the false promises of glow-up culture, and how the Pomalo philosophy can help you reclaim joy, beauty, and peace — without the hustle or performance.
Inside, I share:
What glow-up culture really ask of midlife women (and how it mirrors hustle culture)
A Pomalo reframe on beauty, self-worth, and timing
A simple journal prompt to help you reconnect with your inner glow
An invitation to slow down, reset, and savour what matters
This episode is your permission slip to listen inward, and return to what lights you up — softly and slowly.
Because your glow doesn’t come from reinvention.
