Life Coaches Unfiltered
Life Coaches Unfiltered is a bi-weekly podcast for the midlife woman who feels stressed, burned out, and stuck.
Hosted by three life coaches with very different specialties: Desiree, Michelle, and Doree. Each episode blends coaching tools, real stories, and unfiltered conversation so you feel seen, not judged.
If you’re a woman in midlife dealing with chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, “numbing out,” anxiety spirals, toxic positivity, gaslighting, or narcissism in relationships, this show helps you understand what’s really going on and what to do next: one small, doable step at a time.
You’ll hear episodes on:
- Burnout, boundaries, people-pleasing, and over-apologizing (“The Apology Epidemic”).
- Anxiety spirals, hypervigilance, and finding calm in chaos.
- Numbing out with food, scrolling, and busyness. And healthier ways to cope.
- Narcissism, gaslighting, and reclaiming your reality in confusing relationships.
- Growth mindset vs. staying in survival mode, midlife career shifts, and redefining success.
Whether you’re juggling work, caregiving, and everyone else’s needs or quietly wondering “Is this really it?,” Life Coaches Unfiltered gives you practical coaching strategies, uncomfortable-but-important questions, and compassionate truth-telling to help you move from overwhelmed and burned out to clearer, calmer, and more in charge of your own lif

Numbing Out: How We Avoid Pain—and What to Do Instead

Finding Healthy Ways to Cope with Life’s Challenges
(a.k.a. Put Down the Cookie Dough and Talk About Your Feelings)
In this episode, the crew gets real about numbing out—you know, that thing we all do when life feels like too much and suddenly you’re four episodes deep into a show you don’t even like... with a bag of chips you didn’t mean to finish.
We kick things off with a fun check-in (because, yes, we’re humans before we’re hosts), then dive headfirst into the weird, sneaky ways we avoid emotional discomfort. From staying busy 24/7 like it’s a badge of honor, to using substances, sweets, or even doomscrolling. Nothing’s off the table (except maybe that third slice of cake).
We also delve into the heavier topics: why our culture often pretends emotions are optional, how men often receive a raw deal when it comes to vulnerability, and why feeling your feelings isn’t just for “woo-woo” folks.
We’ll help you spot the signs of numbing in your own life and share healthier, more sustainable ways to deal with the chaos of being a person.
