Today, we’re tackling a topic that so many of you have written to me about—family. More specifically, how to deal with family members who just don’t understand or support the changes you’re making in your life.

Maybe you’re stepping into a new chapter—pursuing a dream you’ve put on hold, setting boundaries that weren’t there before, or simply making choices that put your happiness first. And suddenly, people who were s...

Today, we’re diving into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the loneliness that comes after divorce.

People talk about the legal process, the financial impact, even co-parenting struggles. But what no one really prepares you for is the silence. The empty house. The loss of shared routines. The realization that the life you once had—good or bad—is gone, and now… it’s just you.

If you’re feeling this way, I...

Do you ever feel like you’re holding onto an outdated version of yourself?

Maybe you’ve spent years being the caregiver, the wife, the mother, the employee, the one who held everything together… and now, as life shifts, you find yourself wondering:

“Who am I if I’m not that person anymore?”

Let’s be real—letting go of the old you is hard.

Even when we know we’ve outgrown certain roles, identities, and ways of thinking, th...

For years, your lives revolved around school drop-offs, soccer practice, college applications, and everything in between. You were a team—but let’s be honest, sometimes it felt more like a business partnership than a romance.

And now… the house is quiet. It’s just the two of you. And you might be wondering… what now?

If you’ve ever thought:
 “We’ve grown apart.”
 “I feel like we’re just roommates.”
 “I don’t...

Today, I want to have a heart-to-heart with you. Are you truly happy with your life, or have you just accepted that ‘this is as good as it gets’?

So many of us have been taught that it’s normal to settle—to stay in the job that drains us, to accept relationships that don’t fulfill us, to ignore our dreams because they seem too big or ‘unrealistic.’ But let me tell you something: you don’t have to settle. You deserve a ...

Today, I want to ask you a big question—are you living for yourself, or are you living for everyone else?

Be honest—how often do you make decisions based on what you truly want… versus what’s expected of you? Maybe it’s family, society, or even that little voice inside your head that says, ‘You should do this.’

If you’ve spent years—maybe even decades—prioritizing everyone else, it’s easy to lose sight of your wants, yo...

Let’s get real today—have you ever felt invisible? Like no one really sees you anymore? Maybe it’s because your kids are grown and don’t need you like they used to. Maybe at work, younger colleagues seem to get all the attention. Or maybe, after years of putting everyone else first, you’ve started fading into the background of your own life.

If that resonates with you, I want you to hear me loud and clear: You are NOT ...

Let’s be real. Starting over at midlife? It can feel terrifying. Maybe you’re rebuilding after divorce, re-entering the workforce, moving to a new place, or simply realizing that the life you’ve been living… isn’t the one you want anymore. It can feel overwhelming, lonely, and uncertain.

But here’s the truth I want you to hold onto: Starting over isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. What if, instead of seeing this chapt...

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, if that little voice in your head whispers, “You’re not good enough”—this episode is for you.

Because today, we are silencing that voice.

I know how it feels to battle that constant, nagging thought that says, “You’re not smart enough. You’re not thin enough. You’re not successful enough. You’re not young enough.” It’s exhausting. It’s suffocating. And worst of all, it’s a lie.

Today, we’re talking about something that I know so many of you are feeling but maybe haven’t quite put into words: That feeling of just… existing. Like you’re moving through your days on autopilot, but you’re not really living.

You wake up, go through your routine, check the boxes, take care of responsibilities… but deep down, there’s this hollow feeling.

Like life is just happening to you rather than you actually expe...

So many women in midlife wake up one day and feel like strangers in their own skin. The roles they’ve played—mother, wife, caregiver, employee—have defined them for so long that when life shifts, they feel like they’ve lost themselves.  

But here’s what I want you to hear loud and clear:  

• You are not lost. You are in transition.  
• This is not a crisis—it’s an awakening.  
• And this, my friend, is your invitation to re...

I don’t know who I am anymore.

We’ll cover:

Today, we’re diving into a topic that I think will resonate deeply with so many of you: letting go of expectations and embracing joy.

Expectations—whether they come from ourselves, society, or even our families—can feel like an invisible weight we carry, especially during mid-life. And while some expectations can push us to achieve and grow, others can hold us back, creating unnecessary stress and disappointment.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that resonates with so many women in mid-life: building confidence.

At this stage of life, confidence can feel like a fleeting thing. Maybe you’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome, the fear of failure, or a sense that you’re not as capable as you once were. Add to that the challenges of aging, health concerns, and shifting roles, and it’s no wonder our confidence can take a hit. I...

I know firsthand how challenging this can be. Today, we’re going to talk about the root of self-doubt in mid-life, how limiting beliefs play a major role in holding u...

Retirement is often seen as the finish line, but for many women, it can feel like a confusing, overwhelming, or even lonely time. Maybe you’re asking yourself: What do I do now? Who am I without my job? Is my future secure and stable?
