Love to hear your take aways. Send me a message.

What happens when the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming?

In this episode of Midlife Audacity, I sit down with my dear friend Jen for a powerful, honest conversation about midlife reinvention, perimenopause, identity shifts, and answering the call to live more authentically.

Jen and I first met years ago as strangers on Facebook, connecting over health, wellness, and the desire to feel like ourselves again. Since then, her life has taken a bold and unexpected turn. After decades working in male dominated fields and later in government, Jen found herself facing perimenopause, a sedentary lifestyle, and a quiet inner knowing that something had to change.

What followed was what she calls “Jen 3.0.” A courageous midlife pivot into becoming a postpartum doula, supporting families through the fourth trimester, and now building a business that blends deep compassion with investigative wisdom to help parents protect their peace and their children.

In this episode, we talk about the sacred pause of menopause, the grief and freedom of identity shifts in midlife, why women need support through life’s biggest transitions, and how intuition often whispers before it roars. We also explore the parallels between postpartum care and midlife care, and why loving yourself back to life is not selfish, it’s essential.

If you’re a midlife woman questioning your next chapter, feeling the nudge to reinvent yourself, or craving permission to trust your inner voice, this conversation will speak straight to your soul.

And if you’re ready for deeper support, community, and nervous system grounded practices, I invite you to join Soul School, my conscious membership for midlife women who are ready to rise into their next chapter boldly, soulfully, and unapologetically.
