Self-care in your 50s isn't always about spa days or skin serum. Sometimes? It's about being alone for an entire afternoon and not having to answer to a single soul.

This week, Sarah and Michele get real (and a little raw) about what self-care actually looks like now—after decades of caring for everyone else. We talk about:

It's time for permission to rest, reflect, and not "be productive" Why hobbies that no one profits from are the ultimate act of rebellion The quiet joy of reading, doing puzzles, or driving without music The grief that comes with losing your old self—and how to honor her The power of softening, staying in, and starting over Self-soothing, emotional processing, and grown-ass alone time (the good kind)

Getting older comes with losses—of energy, of identities, of former selves. But it also comes with a soft kind of power we wouldn't trade for anything.

This one's gentle. Thoughtful. Soulful. And just maybe…the permission slip you didn't know you needed.
