Every story we tell, and every story we listen to has the power to bring us closer to who we really are.

Create Your Midlife™ Podcast
Pull up a chair and join me for conversations
that remind you—you’re not alone
in figuring out what’s next.
Each week, I sit down with women, thinkers, and creators to explore how we find ourselves
again in midlife—through stories, self-agency,
and the power of choice.
It’s time to make your life your favorite story.
