Spending Time Alone | with guest Daffenee James of Tangled Tresses | Empowered Midlife Ep. 10

What if the key to reclaiming your peace, power, and purpose was simply... spending time alone?

In this heart-opening episode of The Empowered Midlife, Dr. Tracy Knighton sits down with Daffenee James, a U.S. Army veteran turned loctician and owner of Tangled Tresses Hair Salon in Albany, GA. Daffenee shares how the pressures of motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship nearly broke her—until she discovered the healing power of being still and spending time alone.

From jumping out of planes to feeling like a failure in midlife, her story is one of radical transformation. This episode is for every woman who’s ever cried in the shower, sat in the car just to breathe, or felt like a stranger in her own life.

💬 In this episode, we explore:

Why spending time alone isn't selfish — it’s sacred
Breaking free from the “strong Black woman” myth
Daffenee’s journey through burnout, brain fog, and anxiety
Redefining self-care beyond manis, pedis & massages
How she reshaped her salon and her life to prioritize her
