In this episode of The Purpose Show, I'm chatting with Jen Lawrence about how women can reclaim their identity and prioritize self-care, especially as they navigate midlife. Jen shares powerful insights from her upcoming book, The Selfish Season, and we talk about why it's so important to let go of societal pressures and focus on building your self-worth. We dive into setting boundaries, embracing self-discovery over seeking external validation, and handling challenges in dating and the workplace. Jen and I also discuss how parenting evolves as your kids grow, and why emotional resilience and joy are key to thriving. This episode is all about embracing who you truly are, practicing self-love, and living authentically.
