In this solo episode, Betsy pulls back the curtain and shares a deeply personal life update—equal parts honest, hilarious, and heart-expanding. Turning 44 and heading into the slow, cozy winter months has her reflecting on friendship, motherhood, dating, and the unexpected ways life evolves when you finally step into who you are.

She talks about:

• Hibernation season and why slowing down is sometimes the most productive thing you can do
• Female friendships and the surprising ease that comes when you finally initiate the plans you’ve been craving
• Dating again and reframing apps as simply “a room where everyone’s single”
• Parenting older kids and navigating challenges you’ve never personally lived through
• Traveling solo with four kids and why these trips are the most sacred part of her year
• Launching her next chapter: completing the Jay Shetty coaching certification and creating a Female Founders Monthly Webinar Series to give women more access, more clarity, and more community

This episode is warm, grounded, and packed with the kind of honesty that makes you feel less alone. If you’re craving connection, reflection, or just a reminder that life doesn’t need to look perfect to feel meaningful—this one’s for you.
