For the first full episode of Fate Forty and Beyond, Gen sits down with her daughters, Jocelyn and Jaelyn, for an honest, funny, emotional conversation about motherhood, identity, spirituality, recovery, and what it really looks like to start over in your 40s.

They talk about early motherhood, not losing yourself in the roles you take on, and the spiritual breadcrumbs that showed up in Gen’s life long before she ever read tarot or studied hypnosis. They also get into boundaries, breaking generational cycles, and what it’s like watching your kids become parents.

Gen opens up about sobriety, hormones, mental health, and why 45 is her favorite age yet.

If you love warm, real midlife conversations with humor and heart, you’ll feel right at home here.
