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

Stopping the Anxiety Spiral: (aka "When Your Brain Goes Full Tornado Mode")
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The hosts are still riding high from their fancy tea party (fascinators included, dignity optional), but reality quickly sets in as they tackle everyone's favorite mental health villain: anxiety spirals.
You know, those delightful moments when your brain decides that forgetting to reply to a text obviously means you're a terrible person who will die alone surrounded by cats. (The cats part doesn't sound so bad, honestly.)
We dive deep into the science of why our brains love to catastrophize, explore the "window of tolerance" theory (spoiler: most of our windows are basically cracked open like a sketchy motel room), and share practical strategies that actually work, unlike that advice to "just think positive thoughts" your aunt keeps giving you.
Key Topics:
- Post-tea party analysis (because apparently we can't let go of those fascinators)
- Anxiety spirals: When your brain becomes a drama queen with a PhD in worst-case scenarios
- The art of catastrophizing (we're all experts, no training required)
- "Window of tolerance" theory—or as we like to call it, "Why we all live in emotional tornado alley"
- Self-care that goes beyond bubble baths (shocking, we know)
- Why doom-scrolling at 2 AM isn't actually a hobby
- Breathing techniques (yes, you've been doing it your whole life, but hear us out)
- Setting boundaries without becoming the neighborhood hermit
- Perfectionism: The overachiever's anxiety special
- Taking action when your anxiety brain insists hiding under blankets is the only logical choice
