What if getting older wasn’t about becoming more careful—but becoming more yourself?

In this episode, Betsy sits down with Cincinnati creator, connector, and the woman behind Hey Michelle, Michelle Jones, for a joyful and refreshingly honest conversation about reinvention, identity, friendship, and refusing to let age decide what your life gets to look like.

Michelle shares how divorce and becoming an empty nester forced her to ask a question so many women eventually face: Who am I now? Instead of disappearing into the background, she chose to show up. What began as simply sharing the restaurants, places, and people she loved grew into a brand, a community, and a career built around the things that came naturally to her.

Together, Betsy and Michelle talk about finding yourself again after a major life pivot, building genuine friendships as an adult, letting go of the pressure to have everything figured out, and why creating more joy doesn’t require completely changing your life.

Sometimes it’s saying yes to the concert. Trying the class. Hosting the girls before the house is perfect. Walking into the room where you don’t know anyone. Doing something you might be terrible at simply because it sounds fun.

Because there is no age when you suddenly become too old to try something new, meet new people, build something meaningful, or become a new version of yourself.

Your life is still yours to play with.
