Summary:

We're diving into the fun and freeing world of the things we've officially outgrown! You know, those uncomfortable shoes, draining friendships, and the relentless pressure to pretend we enjoy kale. This episode is all about embracing the freedom that comes with aging and realizing that our peace and joy are way more important than fitting into someone else's expectations. We're not shedding tears; we're throwing confetti and laughing all the way as we create our very own "nope list" of things we’re too grown for. So grab your coffee, kick back, and let’s celebrate the journey of getting clear on who we really are—because, let’s face it, midlife is just a fabulous comeback story waiting to unfold!
