How to Lose the Wait

How to Lose the Wait

Welcome to How to Lose the ‘WAIT’—the podcast for women in midlife who are tired of living like their real life starts “later.” If you’ve been waiting for confidence, the perfect timing, the perfect body, the perfect relationship, or a braver version of you to take the wheel… you’re in the right place. I’m Holly Toscanini, and each week we turn self-trust into something you can actually use. This isn’t motivation that evaporates by Tuesday. It’s smart, practical support for women who are capable on the outside—but privately stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the “I’ll do it when…” loop. Expect episodes on self-trust, intuition (minus the woo), boundaries, visibility in midlife, body confidence and body peace, and creating a next chapter that feels like it belongs to you. You’ll get clear frameworks, scripts you can borrow, micro-actions you can take immediately, and the kind of honest perspective you’ll want to text to a friend. Because Unwaiting isn’t a vibe. I

    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.
