Episode 217

Midlife has come a long way!

In 2022, women in midlife and beyond are stepping into themselves and honoring their choices to live the life they desire.

Gone are the stories of yesteryear that say, “you can’t do that; you’re too old!”

Midlife women are starting businesses, leaving relationships that don’t serve them, overcoming addiction, and stepping into their true selves. 

Women are saying no to anything that stands in their way of being happy and at peace with themselves.

Getting older is an opportunity to shake things up and add a little disruption to your life, as my guest on episode 2017, Star Monroe, will help you do.

Star also shares how she has "taught herself not to be an alcoholic", and how she has overcome severe body hate, and abusive relationships.

Additionally, Star shares what inspired her to go back to school and train as a psychotherapist and advises ladies who want to align with their authentic selves.
