Simply Lili

Plot twist: this episode isn't really about lipstick.

The lipstick is the metaphor for all the things we keep putting back on the shelf—the dream, the trip, the dress, the boundary, the new beginning...and sometimes, ourselves.

In Season 5, Episode 4 of Simply Lili, we're having a real grown-woman conversation about what happens when we stop waiting for permission to enjoy our own lives.

We're talking aging, confidence, body image, money, boundaries, dreams, fear, faith, joy—and why turning 60 has me looking at “someday” a whole lot differently.

Because maybe you don't need to reinvent your whole life.

Maybe you just need one little lipstick decision.

Wear it. Start it. Book it. Say no. Say yes. Take the picture. Use the good perfume.

Sometimes YOU are the occasion.

And sometimes...

the lipstick was never really about the lipstick. 💄

So let me ask you:

What's YOUR lipstick?

Hey ya'll !!!! This weekend, I turned 60. 🎉

Six decades of living, loving, learning, changing, losing, rebuilding, laughing, growing—and becoming.

And as I step into this next chapter, I've been thinking about one question:

Who gets access to this version of me?

Because history with someone doesn't automatically guarantee unlimited access to the woman you are today.

In Season 5, Episode 3 of Simply Lili, we're talking about friendships, family, relationships, social media, boundaries—and the beautiful clarity that can come with getting older.

This isn't about cutting everybody off. 😂

It's about discernment.

Learning that you can love someone and still have boundaries. You can honor history without allowing it to control your future. You can forgive someone without restoring the same level of access.

And maybe one of the greatest gifts of entering a new decade is realizing:

I don't have to become harder. I can simply become wiser.

I'm walking into 60 with my heart open, my boundaries intact, my faith strong, my lipgloss and my hoops! 💄😂—and a whole lot of excitement about what's waiting for me in The Next Chapter.

Single...and I'm Actually GOOD Over Here!!!

Single doesn't mean lonely. And it definitely doesn't mean your life is on hold.

In this episode of Simply Lili, we're having a real grown-woman conversation about being single — and actually enjoying it.

We're talking about learning to love your own company, being open to love without chasing it, having standards without apologizing for them, and realizing that a relationship should add to your life — not become your life.

Because maybe the question isn't, “When am I going to meet somebody?”

Maybe it's...

“Why am I waiting for somebody before I start enjoying myself?”

Grab your coffee, put on the lip gloss and hoops, and let's talk. 😂

Because single is NOT the waiting room for your real life.

💄 Grab your lip gloss. Put on the hoops. Season 5 is HERE!

Welcome to Season 5 of Mixed Conversations with Simply Lili: In My Grown Woman Era.

Last season, we stopped asking for permission and chose ourselves. But then Monday came… 😂

Okay, girl. I chose me. Now what?

We're talking about rediscovering what YOU want, turning your own volume back up, moving through fear, protecting your joy, and actually enjoying this chapter of life.

Because maybe we don't need to spend another season talking only about what we've survived.

Girl… can we LIVE now?! 😂🔥

Real talk. Real women. Real life. A little laughter, a little fashion, and one scripture to give us something to think about.

📖 2 Timothy 1:7

Grab your lip gloss. Put on your hoops.

We've got some things to TALK about. 💄⭕🎙️

AND JUST LIKE THAT… I CHOSE ME

Four seasons. Ten episodes in this chapter. And somehow, we ended up right where we needed to be: choosing ourselves.

Season 4 was about No Permission Slips—letting go of the need for approval, owning our part in our journey, looking honestly at the woman in the mirror, traveling beyond our comfort zones, and realizing that moving forward doesn't require a committee meeting.

Because here's the truth: your next chapter isn't a group project.

In this season finale, we're talking about what happens when the permission slips are gone and it's time to actually LIVE what we've been talking about. We're moving forward—with receipts. We're taking accountability without carrying unnecessary guilt. We're releasing what doesn't belong in the next chapter. And we're learning that choosing yourself doesn't mean you don't love everybody else.

It simply means you finally put your own name on the list.

There will be laughter, a little sass, some reflection, faith—and one final reminder:

Nobody had to give you permission.

Season 4 may be ending…but we're definitely not done.

How many places have you wanted to go—but didn't because no one could go with you?

In this episode of Simply Lili, we're ripping up another permission slip: the belief that we need someone beside us before we can experience our own lives.

We're talking solo travel, eating alone, meeting new people, discovering new places, sitting in the quiet, praying, laughing, exploring—and learning that you can actually be some pretty great company.

Following Post-Menopausal Power, this conversation takes self-love one step further. Loving yourself isn't only accepting the woman in the mirror. Sometimes it's packing the bag, booking the trip, ordering the dessert and saying:

“Girl, we're going.”

Because wanting companionship is beautiful. Waiting for companionship before you live is something entirely different.

Eat. Pray. Love. Explore. And every now and then...

GO ANYWAY.

Everyone prepares us for menopause...

But almost no one prepares us for the beautiful life that comes after.

In this heartfelt episode of the Simply Lili Podcast, Lili shares a different perspective on aging—not as something to fear, but as a season to embrace. With honesty, laughter, and personal stories, she talks about finding confidence, dating with wisdom, discovering new purpose, and learning that our value has never been tied to our age.

This isn't an episode about symptoms.

It's an episode about freedom.

Together, we'll challenge the myths surrounding women over fifty, celebrate the wisdom that only life can teach us, and tear up another permission slip that says our story is over.

Because menopause isn't the end of who you are...

It may just be the beginning of the woman you've always been becoming.

There comes a moment in every woman's life when she looks in the mirror and wonders, "Who is she now?"

In this heartfelt episode of Simply Lili, we're having an honest conversation about aging, self-image, healing, and learning to see ourselves with compassion instead of criticism.

Together, we'll meet The Woman in the Mirror—the woman who has quietly carried us through every heartbreak, every victory, every loss, and every new beginning.

This isn't an episode about changing your reflection.

It's about changing your relationship with it.

Because the mirror doesn't get the final say.

You do.

If you've ever struggled to recognize the woman looking back at you, this conversation is for you.

💛 New episodes every Wednesday.

We all have a past. We all have moments we wish we had handled differently. But healing doesn't begin by pointing fingers—it begins by looking in the mirror.

In this episode of Simply Lili, Lili opens up about taking responsibility for the choices she made, the lessons she learned, and how owning her story became one of the greatest gifts she ever gave herself.

This isn't about guilt.This isn't about shame.

It's about growth.

If you've ever looked back and thought, "I wish I knew then what I know now," this conversation is for you.

Because the beautiful thing about life is this:You don't need permission to become someone wiser than you were yesterday.

Some of life's hardest conversations are the ones we never have.

In this episode of the Simply Lili Podcast, we're sitting down for an honest conversation about accountability, communication, boundaries, and the courage to say what needs to be said—with kindness and grace.

Have you ever replayed conversations in your mind instead of having them? Have you stayed silent to avoid conflict, only to realize the silence became heavier than the conversation itself?

Together, we'll explore why healthy communication isn't about winning arguments—it's about building stronger relationships. We'll also talk about owning our part without carrying unnecessary shame, letting go of assumptions, and giving ourselves permission to speak the truth with love.

So grab your favorite cup of coffee, settle in, and let's have the conversation many of us have been avoiding.

Because sometimes healing begins with four simple words:

"Can we just talk?"
