Midlife's Messy Identity Crisis Podcast
Welcome to Reclaiming
You're not lost. You're becoming. And that messy middle? That's where all the good stuff happens. Reclaiming: Midlife's Messy Identity Crisis is where we tackle the uncomfortable truth that midlife isn't about holding it all together—it's about figuring out who you actually are underneath all those roles, expectations, and burdens you've been carrying.
Each episode digs into the real, unfiltered journey of transformation: the hard parts, the breakthrough moments, and the practical tools that help you move from stuck to strong and free. This isn't your typical "find yourself" fluff—it's honest conversations about what it takes to reclaim your sovereignty and step fully into your own life. Start with these episodes, and let's walk this messy middle together.

Episode 2: Lost and Found: The Four Seasons of Self (And Why Fall is Your Moment)
When was the last time someone asked you what you wanted... and you actually had an answer? Not what your kids need. Not what your boss expects. Not what would make everyone else happy. Just you. What do you want?
If that question made you squirm a little, welcome to Fall.
Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody tells you: You didn't lose yourself by accident. You were supposed to lose yourself. Summer—that chaotic season of building careers, raising kids, being everything to everyone—required you to put yourself last. And you did it brilliantly. You became the glue, the reliable one, the caretaker. You performed the hell out of those roles.
But now? Those roles don't fit anymore. Your kids don't need you the same way. The career that used to define you feels hollow. The marriage you built around roles instead of Core Selves is rubbing you raw. And you're standing there thinking, "Who the hell am I without all of this?"
That's not a breakdown. That's Fall doing exactly what it's designed to do—stripping away what no longer serves you so you can finally see who you actually are underneath.
In this episode, I break down the Four Seasons of life and why Fall (ages 42-65) is your transformation season—the one where you finally get permission to stop performing and start becoming. This is where the real work begins, and honestly? It's where all the good stuff happens.

Season 1. Episode 1: Say Hello to Your Future Self
She already exists. Your future self isn't some stranger you're trying to become—she's the woman you already know yourself to be, standing just a little further down the path, waiting for you to catch up.
You'll learn why your future self isn't built in big moments, but in the unglamorous Tuesday mornings when you choose to show up anyway. Why "My future self will be grateful for what I choose today" might be the most powerful reframe you adopt this year. And why, if you're in your Fall season (ages 42-65), this practice matters more than ever.
This is about becoming the woman you already know yourself to be—one choice at a time.
In this episode:
The practice of writing to (and hearing from) your future self
Why Tuesday mornings matter more than New Year's resolutions
How to ask: "What does she need me to choose today?"
Why midlife is the perfect time to start building her
