The word “witch” can make smart, grounded people hesitate, even when everything else about spirituality feels comforting. So we go straight into the real question: what if witchcraft is less about aesthetics and more about sovereignty, choice, and learning to work with your own energy in everyday life?
I’m joined by Tahverlee Anglen, founder of the Moon Temple Mystery School, to talk about midlife reinvention through the lens of spiritual awakening, resilience, and purpose. Tahverlee shares how a life marked by major medical challenges and a terrifying ICU emergency reshaped her relationship with time, gratitude, and meaning. That moment flips the script from chasing “the right” job, partner, house, or lifestyle to seeking what truly creates happiness and alignment, a shift many women crave in midlife when the old roles stop fitting.
We also demystify modern witchcraft for the curious and cautious: what the label can mean, why “good vs bad” is really a values conversation, and how practices like ritual, breath, movement, meditation, plant allies, and spirit guide work can be approached without gatekeeping. If your mind won’t quiet down, we share practical tools to start anyway, including guided options and a simple brain-dump technique to stop the mental loops before you meditate.
If you’re ready to move from autopilot to intentional living, press play, then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a review so more women can find the circle. What would “reinvention” mean for you right now?

A Friday afternoon text that says “we think you have a brain tumor” is the kind of moment that splits your life into before and after. Dr. Renea Skelton lived that moment, then did what so many high-performing women are trained to do: she shoved the fear into the background, put on her game face, and kept leading. Renea joins me to share the full arc, from a traumatic childhood and joining the Air Force at 17 to 22 years of service, a post-military pivot into coaching, and the brutal wake-up call that forced her to stop pushing through at all costs.
We talk about pituitary tumors, cortisol chaos, insomnia, weight gain, and what it feels like when symptoms are dismissed until they become an emergency. Renea walks us through an early surgery that didn’t solve the problem, the fallout of brain radiation, and the turning point that came when she finally called Mayo Clinic. The story is intense, but the message is practical: self advocacy saves lives, second opinions matter, and you’re allowed to ask better questions when something feels off. If you’ve ever been told “nothing is wrong” while your body is screaming, you’ll feel seen.
From there, the conversation widens into midlife reinvention. We unpack the hidden cost of being the strong one, the helper, the woman who stays relevant by staying needed. Renea shares the values-based tools she now uses to make decisions, set boundaries, and rebuild joy, including a simple filter question you can use at any crossroads: “Would the person I claim to be do what I’m about to do?” We also get into over-explaining, second guessing, and why replacing “should” with “could” can change your entire nervous system.
If you’re navigating midlife burnout, stress, identity shifts, or just craving a clearer voice and a truer life, hit play. Then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more women can find our circle.

She left a pension job, threw herself a retirement party at 34, and built a life that actually fits. That’s the kind of story that makes you sit up straight, especially if midlife has started to feel like autopilot with a smile pasted on top.
Brenda Ridgley talks with Jen Schultz, a manifestation and money mentor and host of the Manifestation and Money podcast, about what happens when “playing by the rules” becomes its own kind of trap. Jen shares the early signs of burnout, the quiet dread of the daily grind, and the moment she realized she was done trading her time for dollars. From there, we unpack the practical side of her freedom plan, including house hacking real estate, using cash flow wisely, and building an exit strategy while still paying the bills.
We also go deep on mindset, manifestation, and the law of attraction in a way that stays grounded. Jen explains how getting clear on what you don’t want can create the first real spark of direction, why writing down desires works better than vague wishing, and how vision boards can become a simple tool for focus and follow-through. Along the way, we talk tribe support, the emotional release of quitting, and why reinvention isn’t a one-time event but a lifelong permission to pivot.
If you’ve been feeling flat, stuck, or quietly restless, this conversation offers both belief and next steps. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a review so more women can find the circle.

Divorce can look “finished” on paper while your nervous system is still living in the fallout. We sit down with Nicki Laberge, a self-worth and freedom facilitator for women after divorce, to tell the part of the story most people skip: the identity loss that can take place in a marriage, the grief that arrives after the logistics are done, and the quiet stigma that makes women feel like they have to apologize for choosing a healthier life.
Nicki walks us through her midlife reinvention, from realizing she’d abandoned key parts of herself to making peace with a future that no longer exists. We talk about co-parenting realities, why society still ties women’s value to relationship status, and how “I’m sorry” can carry judgment. She also shares what changed when she stopped treating being single as something to fix and started treating it as a deliberate choice, complete with boundaries around dating, living arrangements, and finances.
One of the most powerful threads is healing through reconnection. Nicki’s solo travel reignited her confidence, and returning to horses became a deeply therapeutic way to process emotion and grief. She explains how horses mirror what we feel, why that forces honest self-awareness, and why every woman needs a “win,” a passion or practice that brings her back to life. You’ll also hear practical next steps for anyone stuck in the “should I stay or should I go” spiral.

A swollen knee after a hard workout doesn’t sound like the start of a total life reset, but that’s where Kristen Renee’s story begins. What follows is a raw look at autoimmune flare-ups that bounce from joint to joint, the mental strain of fearing food and workouts, and the lonely grief of being told you may never run again or that you’ll be on medication for life. If you’ve ever looked “fine” on paper while quietly falling apart inside, you’ll recognize the tension Kristen describes.
We dig into what finally moved the needle, and it wasn’t just another gut protocol. Kristen shares how burnout, people-pleasing, chronic stress, and living in constant hustle kept her stuck in survival mode. When she began making bold, values-driven choices like reducing financial pressure, changing her environment, setting boundaries, and eventually leaving a job that drained her, her body started responding in ways that surprised even her. The conversation ties together nervous system regulation, intuition, trauma release, and the idea that symptoms can be communication, not punishment.
We also explore how the same mind-body approach applies to financial wellness. Kristen opens up about money stress, “money wounds,” creating a sense of safety, and shifting out of lack-based thinking so you can make clearer decisions in midlife. If you’re searching for midlife reinvention, autoimmune healing support, burnout recovery, and practical wellness steps that fit real life, this is a powerful listen.

The most dangerous part of burnout is how normal it can look from the outside. You can be the one who “handles it,” gets promoted, keeps the family running, and still feel like you are disappearing behind a mask.
We sit down with Dr. Cristina Lauk, licensed mental health counselor and PhD in clinical psychology, to talk about ADHD, trauma, and nervous system regulation through the lens of midlife reinvention. Cristina shares how growing up as a hyperactive girl in an era that rarely recognized ADHD in girls created layers of shame and microaggressions that later showed up as complex trauma. We dig into the cost of high achievement when it is powered by othering, perfectionism, and chronic stress, and what happens when midlife finally makes the old strategy unsustainable.
From yoga, breathwork, and somatic movement to positive psychology and meaning making, Cristina explains how healing becomes practical and daily, not abstract. We explore how meaning reduces anxiety and protects against burnout by expanding cognitive bandwidth and building resilience, plus three concrete tools you can use right now: values tied to roles, journal prompts for post-traumatic growth, and a redemptive story exercise that helps integrate your past instead of fragmenting you. Most of all, Cristina offers a truth every woman in transition needs to hear: you can get off the broken path at any time, starting with a single decision and a few new choices.
If you are navigating midlife funk, ADHD overwhelm, identity loss, or trauma recovery, this conversation is a grounded place to start. Subscribe, share with a sister who needs it, and leave a review so more women can find their way back to their spark.

Your life can look “successful” on paper and still feel wrong in your body, and that quiet mismatch is often the real start of midlife reinvention. I sit down with Osayi Lasisis, a business-to-business growth leader and fractional growth marketer, to talk about what happens when the identity you worked for stops being the identity you want. She planned her whole life to be a lawyer, earned the credentials, and chased the most prestigious track she could find, only to realize the day-to-day work drained her spark.
We get into the messy middle: career disappointment, depression, the weight of expectations, and the fear of hitting pause when you don’t yet know the next move. Osayi shares how returning to Nigeria became a reset that opened space to explore new skills, rebuild confidence, and eventually embrace marketing, events, and go-to-market strategy as a creative path that still ties directly to revenue. If you’re navigating a career change, burnout, or a midlife crisis that doesn’t match the stereotype, this story offers both clarity and permission.
Then we shift into purpose-driven entrepreneurship with Pocketlings, the brand she co-founded with her daughter after her 10-year-old couldn’t find brown plush dolls that looked like her. We talk representation, building products from real needs, creating affirmation books for kids, and even entrepreneurship training through libraries and community groups. We close with simple, real practices for staying connected to your people and a line worth repeating: fear is normal, and investing in your joy pays exponential returns.

Are you playing the role of the "perfect" daughter, wife, or mother while feeling like your true self has vanished? In this powerful episode, Brenda Ridgley sits down with Chris Wasco—a spiritual counselor, psychic medium, and author of An Old Soul’s Journey—to discuss breaking free from narcissistic abuse and a silenced nervous system.
Chris shares her raw "Midlife Funk" story: the terrifying moment she realized the abuse she endured as a child was beginning to touch her own children. This "straw that broke the camel's back" led her to cut ties with her parents and begin a massive life transformation. We explore the "Mother Wound"—the generational shadow that shapes how women relate to themselves and their friends—and how unmasking toxic family dynamics can literally heal your physical body.
In this episode, we discuss:

You can do everything “right” and still feel lost when the boxes run out. That’s the moment we dig into with Sheree Holt, founder of Why Not Rome, a boutique travel brand created for midlife women who crave culture, community, and real connection. Sheree’s path moves from performer to corporate leadership, then straight into the midlife funk that hits when success stops feeling like you.
We talk about the identity shift so many women over 40 experience but rarely name: the gap between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Sheree shares what it felt like to leave an unfulfilling job without a perfect plan, how fear and control show up during a career pivot, and why waiting for a single “big epiphany” often keeps us stuck. The real breakthrough, she says, comes from small actions that disrupt routine: new rooms, new people, new choices that slowly reveal what fits.
You’ll also hear practical midlife reinvention tips you can start this week, including how to name your biggest pain points, stop spiraling into self-diagnosis, and use simple tools like journaling and tiny goals to rebuild momentum. Sheree also points you to her free Midlife Playbook so you can create your own next chapter with intention.

The hardest moments don’t need perfect words, they need a steady witness. Brenda sits down with Reverend Christine Vaughn Davies, an ordained Presbyterian minister and hospital chaplain leader, for a candid conversation about midlife funk, grief, and the surprising power of presence when life falls apart.
Christine shares how her early pull toward spirituality and her work as an EMT shaped her calling, then how becoming a patient herself changed everything. She opens up about navigating an epilepsy diagnosis, feeling dismissed by medical professionals, and what “medical gaslighting” does to your sense of self and trust. From there, we dig into a practical definition of spirituality that goes far beyond religion: connection to yourself, to others, and to the divine, and what happens when any of those connections rupture.
We also talk openly about miscarriage grief and the phrases that can sting even when they are meant well. Christine breaks down spiritual toxic positivity and offers real alternatives, including the simplest rule most of us resist: show up and shut up. You’ll leave with concrete ways to support someone in pain, plus gentle spiritual practices you can try right now, even if you don’t consider yourself religious. We close with midlife hope, perimenopause honesty, and how to build a “lady tribe” with intention instead of waiting for schedules to magically align.

The moment you’re labeled “strong,” the world starts handing you more to carry and you learn to smile while you do it. Today we sit down with Karin Del Maestro, a breast cancer survivor and trauma-aware health coach, to talk about the real cost of being the capable one for decades and what it takes to rebuild after your body and nervous system finally say “no more.” Her story moves through stacked trauma, grief, and the shock of a breast cancer diagnosis plus a BRCA genetic mutation, then into the complicated reality of treatment choices, surgery, hormones, and the pressure to make fast decisions when you’re terrified.
We also go to the place few people talk about honestly: what happens after treatment ends. Karin shares why the “done” moment can feel isolating instead of joyful, how PTSD can show up for breast cancer survivors, and why your nervous system may still be stuck in fight or flight long after the medical plan is complete. If you’ve ever felt like your foot is on the gas but you can’t move forward, this will land. We connect the dots between trauma, workaholism, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the exhaustion so many midlife women normalize.
You’ll leave with practical tools you can use immediately, including Karin’s simple framework “Pause, Check, Choose” to step off autopilot, plus a powerful boundary reframe: you’re not saying no to someone, you’re saying yes to your peace. If you’re navigating breast cancer recovery, midlife healing, nervous system regulation, or burnout, share this with a friend who needs it and subscribe, rate, and review so more women can find this support.

Are you high-achieving, over-scheduled, and yet... quietly unfulfilled? You’ve mastered the roles—the powerhouse professional, the dedicated partner, the doting mother, the reliable daughter—but somewhere along the way, you lost the woman with the spark in her eyes.
In our Season 4 premiere, I’m stepping into the guest seat to share my own raw journey through the "Midlife Funk." I’m unmasking the truth about what happens when we prioritize our roles over our souls, and how I used my professional background to engineer my own escape from autopilot.
In this foundational episode, I’m sharing:
The "Mom-bot" Trap: The high-stakes trauma of my son’s birth that led me to trade my personal identity for a "protective shield" of motherhood for 18 years.
The Jane Moment: The one vulnerable conversation that gave me the "breath of relief" and the permission to stop faking "okay."
The Professional Pivot: How I transitioned from a Corporate HR Manager to becoming a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach obsessed with female connection.
The Save the World Sisterhood: Why I believe that a midlife woman who has reclaimed her purpose is the most powerful force for global change.
This episode sets the stage for a powerful season of expert guests and survival stories of reinvention. Whether you are navigating a career transition, an identity shift, or just a heavy dissatisfaction in your gut, this is your invitation to stop being a "placeholder" and start being the hero of your own life.

You can check every box and still feel like something is missing and that’s the moment we’re naming out loud today. I’m sitting down with Jen Carew, a former corporate leader who spent more than 20 years mastering external success, only to realize at midlife that the life she built didn’t match the peace she craved. What happens next is honest, brave, and deeply relatable: she walks away, creates space, and begins the slow work of remembering who she is beneath the roles.
Jen shares one of my favorite images for midlife transformation: the inner spring. When we’re young, our spirit flows naturally, but over time we drop pebbles into that stream. Expectations, people pleasing, and the pressure to be “useful” can restrict the flow until we barely recognize ourselves. We talk about the dark night of the soul that can follow big change, the grief of letting go of a “good” identity, and why a brief spiritual awakening can be followed by anxiety when the ego fights to stay in control. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, we break down ego vs soul in clear, practical terms.
We also go into ancestral healing and epigenetics, including the visibility wound many women carry and how inherited trauma and family patterns can shape your confidence, voice, and sense of safety. You’ll leave with grounded next steps you can try this week. If you’re craving purpose after 40, spiritual direction, burnout recovery tools, or a gentler way to come home to yourself, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

The weirdest part of midlife isn’t the hot flashes or the changing metabolism. It’s the moment you look up and realize you don’t feel like yourself and you can’t explain why. Brenda Ridgley sits down with holistic menopause coach Eliza Riley to name what so many women experience in silence: the sleep disruption, the crushing fatigue, the painful cycles, the brain fog, and even the scary emotional flatness that can show up during perimenopause and menopause.
Eliza shares her personal health journey through cervical cancer, years of confusing symptoms, and the long road to realizing hormones were at the center of the storm. We talk about why the medical system can feel fragmented, why symptom-by-symptom fixes often miss the root cause, and how it’s possible to rebuild trust in your body by learning its patterns. You’ll also hear a grounded take on HRT, including why it’s not one-size-fits-all and why women deserve to understand their full menu of options for menopause support.
Then we get practical. Eliza explains what she means by “losing your rhythm” and how modern life pulls us away from the circadian and metabolic cues that regulate the nervous system and hormone balance. She offers two simple shifts you can try this week. If you’re ready to stop running on fumes and start feeling clear and capable again, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the biggest midlife symptom you want to solve next.

Embarking on a midlife transformation can feel like navigating through uncharted territories. Join me, Brenda Ridgely, and special guest Lisa Boate, a menopause coach and podcast host, as we unravel the complex tapestry of challenges and opportunities that come with this chapter of life. From saying goodbye to a demanding education career to embracing the journey of self-care and certification in menopause coaching, Lisa opens up about the personal shifts that led her here. Lisa brings a wealth of knowledge from her own experiences, creating a space for us to discuss the underestimated impact of menopause on professional life and the importance of reimagining a vibrant future.
Workplace cultures often shy away from addressing menopause, leaving many women to navigate its symptoms without support. In this episode, we tackle the taboo and shine a light on how embracing this natural phase can lead to empowerment rather than withdraw. I share my journey through perimenopausal symptoms that once clouded my days, and Lisa share s how education and awareness brought clarity not only to herself but to the potential for organizations to foster menopause-friendly environments. We delve into the economic costs of unsupported symptoms and the need for workplace adaptations that acknowledge the wealth of experience mature women bring to the table.
Friendships and community become even more crucial as we transition through life's stages. Lisa and I stress the importance of such relationships in ensuring that no one walks their path alone. So gather your headphones, and let's affirm together the potential to craft a life filled with purpose, joy, and a resonating sense of belonging within your Lady Tribe.

When Jane Pilger joined me for a heart-to-heart, we didn't just chat; we ventured deep into the emotional labyrinth of food freedom and body trust. Our candid conversation spanned from Jane's valiant conquest over a 25-year battle with binge eating disorder to the eye-opening realization that traditional eating disorder treatments might just be fanning the flames they aim to extinguish. Together, we unravel the snarls of self-doubt and self-sabotage that entangle our eating habits, highlighting the power of internal safety and trust as beacons to guide us through the stormy seas of dietary struggles.
Navigating the tempestuous waters where food meets emotion, Jane and I embarked on a quest to understand the 'why' behind our food choices. We discovered that the anticipation of scarcity – think of the great toilet paper hoard of 2020 – can lead to a feast-or-famine mentality in our diets. By fostering a compassionate curiosity within, we learned how to better understand our emotional appetite, its origins, and how to approach it with the finesse of a seasoned emotional gourmet. Our dialogue serves as a map to understanding that emotional eating isn't just about lack of willpower; it's a complex dance with our nervous system and unprocessed feelings that requires patience and presence to master.
As we wrapped up our heartfelt exchange, we celebrated the indomitable spirit of the 'Jane' in every tribe – that force of nature who drives us forward with intention and connection. We mused over the art of crafting strong, vibrant communities, both personally and professionally, and reveled in the joy that blossoms from shared narratives and experiences. Jane's wisdom underscored the transformative impact of nurturing these connections, and we left our listeners with a treasure trove of actionable insights to build their own tribes, rich in trust and unity. Join us for this soul-nourishing episode that's more than just a conversation – it's a journey towards embracing the essence of who we are, one bite at a time.

Have you ever felt like your confidence was broken, or you were betrayed when you shared something personal with a friend? There are strategies to implement with your Tribe to ensure secret keeping. You can be real, share your heart and be fully known by your Tribe and have a soft place to fall when you need support.
Recap of steps outlined in podcast:
There are five key elements of an up-front contract.
1. Purpose: Explain why you want to have this conversation.
2. Other person's expectations: As best you can, make sure you know what the other person wants and expects. If you don’t, ask.
3. Your expectations: At the same time, they need to know what you want and expect out of the talk. This should include anything you might need from them.
4. Time and logistics: Allow enough time to share this deep conversation in private. Preferably face to face.
5. Outcome: What should happen at the end of the conversation? They should know what to expect from you. They should also know what you would like to see/have from them.

We loved hosting Author Mandy Lemond, a former foster child turned Emmy Award winning TV Producer and host of Foster-ed, The Podcast. Serving as a Motivational Speaker, Mandy helps others turn their “Mess, into A Message.” At the age of 7, Mandy's father brutally murdered her mother and stabbed Mandy 13 times. He was charged and sentenced to life in prison, leaving Mandy an orphan. Daddy Warbucks never came, and Mandy aged out of foster care at 18. While in the system, she dealt with both physical and mental abuse. Later marrying a television celebrity, Mandy seemed to have the perfect life. Until her foster-adopted son, high on drugs, fired shots into the wrong house nearly killing a 5-year-old, blinding him. Mandy's 20-year marriage fell apart and she found herself over 40, a son in prison, homelessness and starting over. With the same tenacity she used to cope with childhood abuse, Mandy developed the 5-Method, featured in her memoir, The Fostered One. She now serves globally, speaking to divorcees', parents of incarcerated children, foster children and parents and those suffering from PTSD.

In this special series edition of Find Your Lady Tribe we explore a few ways that our best friendships may need our support through difficult times. Here we have an enlightening conversation with relationship coach Tressen Bryant of Lovin Life Coaching who specializes in amicable divorce solutions. Tressen shares several ways that we can help a friend traverse the difficulties of divorce and provide support in a variety of constructive ways. About Tressen Bryant: Tressen Bryant is a certified Health and Life Coach from the Health Coach Institute. She specializes in mindset and beliefs and how they directly correlate to every experience in your life. She is truly an example of living what she teaches in that, we always have a choice in what we decide to believe. No matter what the circumstances, triggers, or challenges life has to offer we can choose to look at them in a way that will either hinder us or allow us to reach our full potential. Growing up poor and in a very dysfunctional family, she left home at the age of 15 and never looked back. In her journey to find herself she has had real world experiences that involved trauma, cancer, and her own dysfunction. Through all of that she persisted, healed, and is now a healthy, happy, abundant, mom of two young adults and two dogs. Her passion and purpose is to teach others how they too, can overcome their challenges and live a fulfilled life.

Do you find that you are repeatedly drawn to specific interests and even vocations that are unique but in fact quite similar? Our special guest, author Anna Shoshana Deakter shares that is because we cannot escape our true calling. We very much enjoyed this conversation as we are certain you will too. About Anna Shoshanna Deakter After a series of traumatic, life altering wake-up calls, where Anne Shoshana lost her father, marriage and career, in one fell swoop, she had to quickly reevaluate her life and come up with solutions. She had done the wife thing, career thing and mom thing and she still felt empty inside. Living with that bleak, hollow space inside was no longer sustainable. Always a seeker, she went back to school and studied Educational Leadership and multiple spiritual disciplines- of which Kabbalah became the nearest and dearest, as it had the answers to life's deepest questions. For the past 27 years she has been speaking and sharing her signature coaching program - The Greater Than Purpose Project - to empower visionary, spirit-led, heart-centered and norm-busting leaders to grow from good to better, making impact and income, leaving a legacy, doing what they love, in a world gone crazy- so they can lead a NO REGRETS Life (which btw, is humanity's destiny). For more of her practical and proven step by step systems, check out her new book, You aren't here to be good, you are here to be better; how to reclaim hope, purpose and fulfillment in a world gone crazy (available on amazon).

There is much to say about "just showing up". We have learned since childhood that much of our success is guaranteed just by showing up. Little is said about how this relates to our friendships. In this episode we discuss what it really means to "be there" for our friends. Here are some great and famous quotes about showing up: “Show up: Messy. Show up: Imperfect. But just keep showing up.” – Jenna Kutcher “The world is run by those who show up.” – Ron Nehring “Decisions are made by those who show up.”- Aaron Sorkin “Half the battle is just showing up.”- Stephen Hawking “Eighty percent of success is showing up.”- Woody Allen About the Connection Connoisseur: Brenda Ridgley is a girlfriend guru, speaker, and author of the book Lady and the Tribe, How to Create Empowering Friendship Circles.

Traditionally, a tribe is defined as a social division in society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties. Some tribes have a common culture and dialect, and typically they have a recognized leader.

What is the difference between a friend and a friendship? How can we have so many "friends" yet feel lonely? It is not uncommon to feel alone even when surrounded by many friends. Friendship requires an investment of time, attention and enthusiasm. It is a process, a journey, and some would even say an art. I would define friendship as the positive effort two individuals take to build a platonic relationship, establish common interests, and develop caring feelings for each other.
