Midlife Audacity
This is about the reality of midlife madness and the audacity to live bold, soulful, and unapologetic.
I’m not claiming to be an expert, but after 30-plus years of teaching, building businesses, navigating life, and diving deep into soul work, I’ve learned a lot along the way.
And now, I want to share all of it with you, the madness and the magic, so you can step into midlife with courage, clarity, and a whole lot of audacity.
So grab your coffee, or your walking shoes, hit play, and let’s dive in. Welcome to Midlife Audacity.
