Ever have one of those days when you just can't muster the energy to put on your game face? Welcome to my world. In this raw and unfiltered episode of Midlife Catalyst, I'm pulling back the curtain on what happens when a type-A, perfectionistic, people-pleaser decides to join the "We Don't Care Club."
From unbrushed hair to mismatched nail polish, I'm embracing the beauty of not giving a damn. But this isn't just about appearances - it's a deeper dive into the exhausting expectations we place on ourselves and the liberating power of occasionally saying, "I don't want to."

This episode serves as a reminder that it's okay to have off days, to prioritize rest, and to occasionally set aside societal expectations. Whether you're feeling burnt out, questioning your routines, or just need permission to stay in bed all day, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on self-care and authenticity in midlife.
Join me for this unscripted, unfiltered look at what happens when a lifestyle coach decides to temporarily hang up her cape and just be human. It's messy, it's real, and it might be just what you need to hear today.
