Whether you’re navigating career pivots, relationship drama, or just embracing the joy of missing out (JOMO), this conversation will make you laugh, nod, and maybe rethink what you’ve been holding onto for too long.
We cover:
Wearing the damn bikini (no matter your size) 👙
Letting go of “career shoulds” and outdated timelines
Why boundaries aren’t optional after 40
Trading FOMO for JOMO
