In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I open up about navigating life after a 30-year relationship and the unexpected journey of rediscovering who I am at 54. Divorce during menopause isn’t something we talk about enough—but it’s happening more than we think. I share my own story of love, loss, pride, grief, and growth—from learning how to use the lawn mower to letting go of the future I once envisioned.

You’ll hear about the emotional rollercoaster of becoming single after decades, how menopause compounds the changes we face, and why this season—despite its challenges—can also be a time of incredible self-reclamation. I talk about real-life moments, the incredible resilience of my daughters, and the surprising ways fear shows up when we’re stepping into something new.

Whether you’re recently separated, feeling stuck, or just in need of a little inspiration to start putting yourself first again, this episode will remind you: you are not alone. And this isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of something new.
