  • E78: The Pause That Healed Me: Grief, Grace, and Celebrating Midlife Magic Again

    After 77 episodes and a necessary (but longer than intended) pause, I'm returning with this soft relaunch episode. I open up about the real reason for my absence: processing the death of my father and giving myself the space to grieve.

    This is our season of reclamation. New episodes, guests, and magic ahead starting in March 2026. Thank you for your patience and love. Let's keep walking this portal together.

    On Mother's Day I led a healing ceremony for women who had walked the childless or childfree path by chance, choice or somewhere in between. I was really proud of what I managed to offer and blown away by the vulnerability and open hearts of the women who showed up.
