After a year and a half away, I’m back — and my life looks completely different.

In this episode, I share the major transitions that collided all at once:

• my dad’s passing and navigating the many “firsts” that followed

• leaving my marriage

• moving back to the Pacific Northwest

• and the wild timing of creating my “Fearless Transitions” talk right before walking through some of the biggest transitions of my own life

I also talk about one of the biggest realizations from this past year and a half — that I didn’t simply end a chapter…

I closed the book on the last 30 years of my life.

This comeback episode sets the stage for what’s ahead this season. I’ll be sharing more of the stories, lessons, surprising moments, and insights that came from this time — including conversations I recorded with my dad — but today’s episode is about opening the door and letting you into where I am now.

I reflect on:

• the grief and the unexpected magic woven into this past year

• how surrender reshaped me

• why I’m calling this next era Midlife Magic

• and what’s shifting in how and when I’ll release episodes

If you’re also moving through your own transitions, big or small, I hope this episode meets you right where you are.

And yes, I’m still coaching and will have limited openings in the new year.

Here’s to Midlife Magic.

And to whatever fire is shaping your next chapter.
