The HER LAB Podcast: YOU. Unfiltered & Alive!
Where bold women 50+ stop performing their lives and start fully living them!
You’ve checked the boxes. Built the life.
But somewhere in the mix of roles, reputation, and responsibility… YOU disappeared.
Welcome to The HER LAB—the place where you return to yourself.
I’m your host, Linda Ann Barber—freedom activator, bestselling author, and unapologetic voice for the woman who’s done shrinking, softening, or sugarcoating.
This podcast is NOT another fluffy reinvention pep talk.
It's NOT another 'better version' of yourself.
It’s where you strip away what’s no longer you—so the truest, most unapologetic version of you can rise!
Here, you’ll:
- Unmask the roles, rules, and survival patterns you’ve outgrown
- Anchor into identity over image—truth over performance
- Reclaim clarity, confidence, and presence as your new power tools
- Live by your own standards—not society’s expiration date
- Say yes to truth, no to guilt, and lead the second half of life on your terms
This is for the woman who:
- Isn’t stuck—but done with the version of herself that no longer fits
- Isn’t chasing more—but ready to be more
- Feels the fire of HER within—and refuses to keep dimming it for comfort
The HER LAB isn’t here to fix you.
You’re not broken.
You’re remembering who you’ve always been!
This is the lab where truth gets louder.
Where freedom becomes your baseline.
And where your boldest, most alive self is finally the standard.

Mastering Self-Intimacy: Techniques for Building a Loving Relationship with Yourself! [Part II of II]
I’m coming in hot, hot, hot today!!!
Today, we’re diving into the juicy topic of self-intimacy. We often think of intimacy with others, but what about intimacy with ourselves? What does that mean?!
Self-intimacy is a state of BEing, not doing! It's about having a deep and genuine connection with yourself, accepting who you are without judgment, and managing and expressing your emotions healthily. It's an ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth—a journey of having authority over your life, thoughts, emotions, and decisions!
Remember episode 59? I shared a new perspective on being alone—one that’s empowering and enjoyable. Even in the weirdness and discomfort of being in your own company, you can find FUN! Being present in your own company can be freeing and transform you into who you’re meant to be.
Why is that episode important? It sets the stage for mastering self-intimacy by showing you where you might resist being alone and offering you a perspective shift to see the opportunities your aloneness presents.
So, mastering self-intimacy...
You might still resist being alone, but you’re curious about what more it has to offer. You might doubt you could enjoy your aloneness beyond the surface level you’ve experienced so far. Or you might be afraid to get honest with yourself but have decided to journey towards becoming the lead authority in your own life!
When you grow in self-awareness, fear, doubt, and resistance don’t disappear. Mastering self-intimacy means seeing these feelings and yet choosing YOU [and your new identity] over and over. With this practice, over time, it becomes second nature. It’s who you ARE, how you naturally show up, who you BE!
Let’s talk about things that aren’t often discussed as it relates to the self-intimacy you hold for yourself!
