This Best Of replay features one of my most popular guests, Bonnie Wan, author of "The Life Brief" - and trust me, this conversation will change how you think about creating the life you actually want. Bonnie's a brand strategist who spent decades helping major companies like BMW and Comcast get crystal clear on who they are, but when her own marriage hit rock bottom with three kids under five, she applied those same penetrating questions to her own life. The result? A framework that saved her marriage, transformed her family, and can unlock what you really want too.

If you've ever felt stuck in the messiness of midlife, overwhelmed by all the roles you're playing, or afraid to ask yourself what you actually want because the answer might scare you, this episode is for you. Bonnie breaks down her simple but profound process for cutting through the chaos to find your essence - and shares the raw story of how one question in a supermarket parking lot changed everything. Plus, she reveals why the boldest thing we can do in midlife isn't necessarily going bigger, but sometimes stepping off the treadmill entirely.

Key Takeaways: 

• The power of asking "What do I really want?" & how it can cut through years of confusion and fear 
• The life brief framework: A simple 3-step process (get messy, get clear, get active) that creates lasting change 
• Why viewing life in 5-6 year chapters gives you permission to reinvent yourself again and again 
• Why the most courageous act in midlife might be slowing down, not speeding up
• How The Life Brief method works for parenting challenges, marriage struggles, and career decisions.

Bonnie Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! To create the life you want!
