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 life.

Life coaching is everywhere right now, but how do you know if a life coach will be a fit for you?
In this episode of Life Coaches Unfiltered, Desiree, Michelle, and Doree break down how to choose a life coach you can trust, what life coaching actually is, and how it differs from therapy, mentoring, and advice from friends.
They talk candidly about red flags, green flags, credentials, confidentiality, contracts, values alignment, and why the right coach should feel like a fit, not a sales pitch.
You’ll also hear real examples of what to look for, what to avoid, and how to ask smart questions before investing your time, money, and heart.

- What life coaching is at a high level, and how it differs from therapy and mentoring.
- Why coaching should be objective, collaborative, and centered on the client’s goals.
