After decades of working with women, witnessing their patterns, pain, and awakening, I come back to one question: Why are women hurting so much?
In this powerful conversation, my COO Diana, turns the mic toward me once again to dive into the ache so many women carry—and what actually heals it. We explore the invisible expectations placed on women, the cultural scripts we’re handed, and what it really looks like to reclaim your power.
I share my own story of nearly leaving my marriage, what I see in women who come to this work after trying everything else: the moment they stop outsourcing their power, the moment they remember who they are and the moment everything begins to shift.
In this episode, we talk about:
-
The cultural blueprint women are handed—and why it’s failing us
-
What it means to truly lead your life (and why no one is coming to save you)
-
The early days of my own marriage and how I nearly walked away
-
The real cost of shrinking, shape-shifting, and silencing ourselves
-
How Midlife Muse is not just a program, but a philosophy
-
What I’ve seen over and over again in the women who do this work—it’s not just transformation, it’s liberation
We are not here to perform, to please, or to prove.
We are here to lead, to feel deeply, to reimagine womanhood—on our own terms.
If this resonates with you, share it with a sister who is ready to begin her healing journey.
