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
