What happens when you do everything “right”… and still end up feeling lost?

In this deeply personal episode of Explorer Enthusiast, I’m sharing the real story behind why I started this podcast—and what it actually looks like to rebuild your life in midlife.

After years of checking every box—successful career, marriage, kids, travel, building businesses—I found myself looking in the mirror and realizing I had lost who I was. What followed was a difficult, ongoing divorce, a complete life reset, and the uncomfortable (but powerful) journey of starting over.

This episode is for anyone navigating:

• Divorce or separation
• Starting over in your 30s or 40s
• Losing your identity in marriage, motherhood, or life
• Rebuilding confidence after a major life change
• The emotional weight of being “the strong one”

We talk about:

• The hidden reality behind “perfect” lives
• What it feels like to leave a marriage that looks fine from the outside
• The mental and emotional toll of long-term divorce
• Motherhood during major life transitions
• Finding yourself again after losing your identity
• Why midlife can feel like an unmapped chapter—and how to navigate it

This isn’t a polished success story. It’s honest, raw, and still unfolding.

If you’re in the messy middle—figuring things out, rebuilding, or just trying to feel like yourself again—this conversation is for you.

Because you don’t need a perfect plan to start over. You just need to take the next step.

Parenting is hard—and not just in the way people warn you about.

In this honest, relatable episode of Explorer Enthusiast, we’re talking about the real side of motherhood: the mental load, the daily decision fatigue, and the constant negotiations that come with raising kids. From toddler tantrums and bedtime battles to school schedules, sick days, and juggling work, life, and parenting—this is what modern mom life actually looks like.

If you’ve ever:

• Negotiated with a toddler like a hostage mediator
• Debated whether to enforce rules or just survive bedtime
• Felt overwhelmed by the invisible mental load of parenting
• Tried to balance motherhood, work, and your own sanity
• Questioned if you’re doing it “right”

You’re in the right place.

This episode dives into:

• The reality of parenting vs. social media expectations
• Why kids are natural negotiators (and how it drains you)
• Mom guilt, burnout, and emotional exhaustion
• The shift from physical exhaustion (little kids) to mental overwhelm (big kids)
• Finding humor in the chaos of raising children

Whether you’re in the toddler stage, navigating school-aged kids, or just feeling overwhelmed by parenting in general, this episode will make you feel seen—and remind you that you’re not alone.

Because parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, figuring it out, and sometimes just getting everyone to bed.

I almost didn’t press record.

In this first episode, I’m starting before I feel ready - nerves, imperfections, and all. This podcast was created because I reached a point in my life where everything looked “right” on paper, yet I felt completely disconnected from myself.

I followed the playbook. School, career, marriage, motherhood, success. And still, somewhere along the way, I lost my sense of who I was. Leaving a life that no longer fit - and rebuilding from the ground up - forced me to slow down, reflect, and finally listen to my own voice again.

In this episode, I share why this podcast exists, what led me here, and why I believe the messy middle deserves more honest conversation. We talk about identity, divorce, midlife shifts, motherhood, fear, courage, and the quiet power of choosing yourself - even when it’s uncomfortable.

There’s no perfection here. No polished performance. Just real life, real conversations, and the decision to begin anyway.

If you’re rebuilding, questioning, or trying to find your way back to yourself - you’re not alone. This space is for you.

This episode is a real-time reminder that growth is allowed to feel scary and wonderful at the same time.

I’m sitting down with Narges, an acupuncturist and one of my favourite humans - someone who speaks with so much honesty about identity shifts, emotional truth, and what it looks like to remember yourself through new experiences. We talk about how easy it is to tie your worth to what you do, why connection feels harder in this season of life, and how vulnerability is often the missing piece in deeper friendships between women.

We also go there. Narges opens up about being diagnosed with premature ovarian failure at 22, the grief and identity loss that came with it, and how that experience ultimately reshaped her purpose and path. From moving across the country and starting over, to navigating worthiness, aging, body changes, and the pressure to “do it all,” this conversation is raw, grounding, and deeply relatable.

If you’ve been feeling lost, in-between, or like you’re rebuilding without a map - you’re not alone. This is the messy middle, and we’re walking it together.

In this short introductory episode, I’m sharing the heartbeat behind this podcast — why I started it, what I’ve walked through, and what I hope this space becomes for anyone navigating their own plot twists.

I’ve lived a life that looked perfect on paper: the big career, the marriage, the kids, the travel, the milestones. And then the roadmap I’d been following combusted. The shoulds, the expectations, the timelines — none of it fit anymore. So I rebuilt my life from scratch, one messy, brave step at a time.

This podcast is where I talk through all of it:

• Reinvention
• Healing
• Divorce
• Motherhood shifts
• Identity changes
• The WTF moments nobody warns you about
• The quiet wins that pull you back home to yourself

Some episodes will be deep and thoughtful. Some will be funny and unhinged. Some will feel like a voice note from a friend who gets it.

If you’re rebuilding, rediscovering who you are, navigating a life change, or simply figuring it out as you go — you’re in the right place.

Welcome to My Therapist Says I Talk Too Much.
Let’s reinvent, reinvest, and roam together.
