For years, Jane Green looked like she had it all.

She was a bestselling author, a wife, a mother, and a woman who had built the kind of life many people spend decades chasing.

But beneath the success was a question she could no longer ignore:

Whose life was she actually living?

In this deeply honest conversation, Jane joins me to talk about the unraveling that led to her memoir Rewilding and the surprising freedom that can emerge when you stop trying to be who everyone else expects you to be.

We explore why so many women wake up in midlife feeling disconnected from themselves despite checking every box, how childhood wounds quietly shape our adult relationships, and why the loneliness many people experience isn't always about being alone. Sometimes it's about losing touch with who you really are.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever looked around at a life that appears successful on paper and wondered why something still feels missing.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why high-achievers are often the most disconnected from their authentic selves
The hidden cost of people-pleasing and performing for approval
What loneliness is really trying to tell you
How childhood experiences continue to influence your relationships decades later
Why insight alone doesn't create lasting change
The surprising connection between your body, your emotions, and your sense of purpose
How midlife can become a powerful invitation to reinvent yourself rather than a crisis to survive
What it means to stop being who you've been taught to be and start becoming who you truly are

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, questioning old identities, or simply feeling a quiet pull toward something more authentic, this episode offers both insight and hope.

Because sometimes the life-changing question isn't "What should I do next?"

It's "Who have I become while trying to be everything for everyone else?"

If this conversation speaks to you, be sure to check out Jane's memoir, Rewilding, a powerful exploration of what happens when we stop performing and finally come home to ourselves.

For those drawn to lived transformation, her Rewilding Retreats in Morocco offer an immersive space to step away from noise and reconnect with what feels true when life is stripped back to essentials.
