In this episode of Minding Mine, I sit with Dr. Arlonda Stevens — certified Positive Psychology, Health, and Wellbeing Coach — to dismantle society’s fear-driven narrative around aging.

They explore how midlife, often labeled a “crisis,” can actually be a season of renewal. Dr. Arlonda shares her journey through divorce, caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s, and facing an empty nest — and how she transformed those challenges into a vibrant, purpose-driven second act.

You’ll hear practical ways to:

Reclaim your identity outside of roles like “mom,” “wife,” or “employee”

Put yourself at the top of your own priority list without guilt

Create a self-care routine that fuels you daily

Release old conditioning and start living on your own terms

Age with grace, joy, and unapologetic self-acceptance

If you’ve ever felt lost in your own life or wondered “what’s next?” after major life transitions, this conversation will inspire you to see midlife as your renaissance.
