You know that feeling when you should be celebrating—but instead, you're mentally already onto the next thing?

You hit a milestone—moved into a new house, crushed a personal challenge, finished a retreat—and instead of basking in your badassery, your brain starts whispering: "Yeah, but what now?" or worse, "That wasn’t enough."

In this solo episode, I (Laurie) invite you into a mindset shift that high-achieving women in midlife desperately need: moving from the Gap (what you haven’t done) to the Gain (how far you’ve already come).

This one is personal. I share real-life examples from:

• My recent move (so many boxes, so many metaphorical mic drops)
• The brutal-but-beautiful 29029 TRAIL challenge
• A business retreat that almost sent me into a shame spiral—until someone reminded me of the badass things I'd already done

You'll walk away with:

• The 4 key questions to help you catch when you're stuck in the Gap
• A journaling prompt that will shift your whole damn week
• How to celebrate your wins without disclaimers (ahem—stop talking people out of complimenting your sweater)
• And why “starting from experience” beats “starting from scratch” every. single. time.

If you're a high-achieving midlife woman who’s secretly exhausted from always striving and never arriving—this episode is your permission slip to flip the script.

💥 You don’t need to do more to be worthy.
 💥 You just need to notice how far you’ve already come.
