✨ Show Notes:

We're back—with boxes, big feelings, and big updates.

In this casual catch-up episode of The School of Midlife, Laurie Reynoldson shares a behind-the-scenes look at what’s been going on: selling a house, moving into a new one, and navigating midlife transitions with as much grace (and humor) as possible.

It’s part life update, part pep talk, and part reminder that perfection isn’t the goal—real life is.

Plus: some major announcements about what’s coming to the podcast this fall—including an inspiring new guest series, the return of the Best Life Retreat in Sun Valley, and Laurie’s personal reflections on how a first-grade moment nearly held her back from a life of public speaking.

💡 In This Episode:

• The truth about what it’s like to move homes in midlife (with no internet 😅)
• Why Laurie’s finally embracing public speaking after decades of fear
• A preview of the incredible midlife women coming to the podcast guest series
• Why the Best Life Retreat almost didn’t happen—and why now might be the best time ever to say yes
• A surprising invitation to bring Laurie in as a speaker for your group or event
