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.

Ep 5: Breaking Spells: A Holiday Roundtable on Midlife, Money, Motherhood & Perfectionism
Love to hear your take aways. Send me a message.
The holidays have a way of awakening the “spells” we’ve been under for years, the roles, habits, and expectations that keep us small. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to money fears and motherhood guilt, these patterns can quietly pull us back into the past just when we’re ready to rise.
In this special Thanksgiving-week roundtable, Midlife Audacity host Celeste DiDona sits down with three powerful women: Ann Reed, Christy Livingston, and Bridget Tucker to explore what it really means to break the spell. Together, they talk about nervous-system regulation, rewriting money stories, releasing perfectionism, and embracing midlife as an awakening, not a crisis.
Whether you’re sipping coffee after Thanksgiving dinner or sneaking a walk between gatherings, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and remember:
You are not who you used to be. You are becoming who you were always meant to be.
✨ Top 5 Takeaways
- Awareness breaks the spell
Notice the pattern in your body and your story. You can’t shift what you won’t see. Name it, and the grip loosens. - Safety makes change possible
Regulate before you renovate. A few slow breaths, butterfly tapping, or a brief pause tells your nervous system: “I’m safe to choose differently.” - You can have both love and money
It’s not either–or. Rewrite the old scripts. Abundance includes connection, ease, and wealth. - Own your financial seat
Financial sovereignty is not optional. Learn, ask, decide. Whether you invest in real estate or another path, you belong at the table. - Choose ease over performance
Perfectionism is a costume that never fits. Success is systems that support you. Model that for your family and the next generation.
As we head into December, ask yourself: What’s one spell I’ll break in the next 24 hours? Then choose one aligned action to anchor the new you.
