Ever look back and realize you’ve been on a completely transformative journey—without even noticing it in the moment? That’s exactly what happened to me when I looked at the calendar and saw the date: May 9, 2023. Two years to the day since I launched this podcast. (Totally unplanned. Total goosebumps.)

To celebrate this anniversary, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the pivot that changed everything—from a podcast that tried to be “clever” to one that’s truly clear. I’m sharing how I went from “OMG Teach Me” (yes, based on my love of saying oh-my-goodness) to Mind Your Midlife, and why that shift—fueled by you and your real-life midlife questions—was the turning point.

In this episode, I open up about:

• The biggest mistake I made when I first launched
• Why trying to speak to everyone meant I was connecting with no one
• The moment I realized I was serving myself more than my audience
• How clarity, not cleverness, became my guiding star
• And how you helped shape this podcast into what it is today

Whether you're building a business, starting a passion project, or simply navigating a new season of life, the lesson is the same: when you stop trying to sound smart and start getting specific about who you're really here to help, everything shifts.
