Episode 61: How Stella Got Her Sparkle Back

In this episode my guest shares her journey from growing up in a chaotic, conservative Texas household to discovering her most powerful, sparkly self in midlife. Raised between a racist mother's house and a fundamentalist church, she spent her 20s following the "supposed to" path from college, marriage, to corporate job. The turning point came when she learned to give herself the stability she'd always craved, stopped bowing to societal programming, and embraced her authentic, whimsical self.

We get into the lies women are told about midlife, "it's the end of your prime, that you're used up and invisible." We reveal the secret truth: midlife is the greatest gift nobody talks about. It's when you cut soul-sucking jobs, friends, and partners from your life and give yourself permission to be fully, unapologetically YOU. This episode is a rallying cry for women to reject the narrative that they're past their prime and instead embrace the rebellion, power, and pure magic of becoming more yourself with every passing year.

Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners. I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.
