By choice or by chance, our lives change in our 40s and 50s. Kids grow up. Parents age. Relationships fracture. Careers stall. Suddenly, we’re carrying everyone — emotionally, financially, physically — and nobody seems to notice that we’re drowning.

This episode is raw and real.I’m digging into what it really feels like to be a woman in the thick of it: invisible, exhausted, expected to hold it all together… while secretly falling apart.

What do we do when it all falls apart, because we were meant to be the generation that had it all!! Instead we are getting divorced, losing our jobs and finding ourselves with no real plan. This is the emotional and financial burden we don't talk about. But we need to.

Because here’s the truth: You are not lazy. You are not crazy. You are not alone.
And you are not out of options.
