Second Act Sessions
Second Act Sessions is a bi-weekly podcast for women navigating midlife and stepping into a new chapter.
Hosted by Stephanie Carmody, the show is rooted in faith, healing, and lived experience and explores what it really looks like to begin again and build a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and true.
It’s for the woman quietly asking, what’s next? The one who thought her life would look different by now and is beginning to realize she may need to start over.
Because starting over sounds inspiring… until you’re actually living it.
And when you are, it can feel uncertain, messy, and overwhelming.
But this isn’t the end of the story.
It’s a second act.
And maybe… a more honest one.
Through real, unfiltered conversations, Second Act Sessions shares stories, perspective, and encouragement for women learning to trust God, rediscover who they are, and rebuild their lives in a way that feels true to them.
No perfection.
No pretending.
Just real life and what it looks like to begin again.
At its core, Second Act Sessions is a reminder that even after the hardest seasons, there is still more life, more healing, and more of you to uncover.
Because it’s never too late to begin again.

Friendship, Faith, and Finding Truth: A Conversation on Spirituality, Singleness, and Second Acts
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Lauren Aurigemma to talk about our unlikely but beautiful cross-generational friendship, our journey out of New Age spirituality, and how returning to faith in Jesus has transformed our lives. We reflect on how our bond has been a blessing—supporting each other through tough seasons, sharing laughs, and growing spiritually together. We also explore the challenges of being single and finding purpose in both life and career, all while leaning on God’s timing and grace.
Lauren also shares her journey as a Creative Consultant and Brand Strategist and how her faith has shaped the way she leads Aurigemma Collective. From building a values-driven business to navigating a fast-paced industry without losing herself, her story is a powerful example of what it means to let God guide both your purpose and your profession.
