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

Is Work–Life Balance Bulls**t? Redefining Balance, Boundaries and Burnout in Real Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If someone secretly recorded your evenings, would it look like you have a healthy work–life balance OR that you just switched from one job to another?
In this candid episode of Life Coaches Unfiltered, Desiree, Michelle, and Doree get painfully honest about what “balance” actually looks like in midlife when you’re juggling a business, a JOB, caregiving, creativity, family, and an exhausted nervous system.
You’ll hear confessions about answering emails at music bingo, working through weekends, binge‑watching instead of resting, and feeling like you’re on a treadmill with no off-switch.
The coaches unpack why so many high‑achievers feel behind all the time, how values (family, creativity, health, spiritual life) should drive your version of balance, and why boundaries at work are non‑negotiable, even if your boss expects you online at 11 p.m.
They also dig into:
- What work–life balance really means when you’re a go‑go‑go person vs. someone who craves quiet.
- How to know when work has taken over your life AND what it’s costing your health, relationships, and joy.
- The role of values (family time, creative pursuits, wellness, spirituality) in designing a custom “balance recipe” that actually fits your life.
- How to start setting boundaries with demanding bosses, constant email, and unrealistic expectations.
- Why saying “no” is a complete sentence and a nervous system intervention.
- Micro‑shifts like time‑blocking, small creative breaks, and redefining productivity beyond hustle culture.
If you’re tired of generic advice about “self-care” and want a real‑life conversation about working, caregiving, creating, and still trying to have a life, this episode is for you.
