25. What Really Matters Now? A Heart-to-Heart on Core Values for Gen X Women

September 24, 2025 • 12 mins

If you've ever found yourself running on autopilot, juggling everyone's needs but your own, this heart-to-heart is for you. We're getting real about the Gen X reality of always "doing it all," losing yourself in the process, and the brave questions that can help you reconnect with what actually matters now. Tune in for honest stories, practical shifts, and a gentle invitation to step out of the world's expectations…and into a life shaped by your own core values.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Why so many Gen X women feel like they've lost themselves (and why it's not just you!)
The real reason it's so hard to break out of autopilot, and how to begin
My turning point and how asking a single new question changed everything
How "Living Into Your Core Values" was born (and what it can do for you)
A true story about saying "no," surviving people-pleaser panic, and making space for a better "yes"
Common myths about core values (spoiler: you're not too old and you can put yourself first without guilt)
Who this course is for, and what you'll actually get out of it

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
