When life sideswipes your plans, what do you do next? Realtor, designer, former pro singer, and mom of three Dallas James shares the raw middle of separation, learning boundaries, feeling grief in real time, and finding her way back to joy at 50. We talk about the power of community, why "everything is figureoutable," the mind–body link (hello, cry-dancing), and how to stop outsourcing your decisions so you can trust yourself again.

We also invite you to WOMAN UP — Sunday, October 26, 2025 at the Uxbridge Music Hall (Uxbridge, ON). Expect courage, connection, music (Dallas may sing 👀), and the kind of sisterhood that makes change feel possible.

You'll hear:

1. "Borrow my belief until you have your own" — using community to cross hard seasons

2. Boundaries 101 (and the 'boxes of grief' visual you won't forget)

3. Grief as body work: dance, tears, breath, and why feeling it moves it

4. "Choose your hard" — staying vs. going, and modeling truth for your kids

5. Small daily choices that rebuild self-trust (coffee/tea, eggs/yogurt—and why it matters)
