In today’s powerful episode of Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife, I sit down with my dear friend Angie Liddle—pediatric physical therapist, adoptive mama, and fierce cycle-breaker—to share a story that is raw, resilient, and real.

From surviving childhood trauma and addiction in her family to building a life full of purpose, Angie opens up about what it really means to rewrite your story. We talk about motherhood, marriage, physical and emotional healing, and the unexpected journey that led her to adopt twin boys in her 40s.

This conversation isn’t just inspiring—it’s a reminder that midlife is not the end of anything… it’s just the beginning.
