This episode is for anyone who has ever felt lost, like a part of you disappeared to keep the peace.
I sat down with my dear friend, Linda Mallard, a transformational coach for midlife women. Linda's story is a beautiful, raw journey of a midlife reinvention - from building a successful Pilates business for 25 years to completely reinventing her life after a series of profound personal losses and transitions.

Linda is known as "the woman who helps you come home to yourself", and you’ll hear exactly why.
She shares how her body began speaking to her through sickness and anxiety , telling her she was out of alignment. This wake-up call led her to a journey of healing and growth, culminating in a powerful moment where she found a strength she never knew she had.

We talk about:

• Why you are not broken and have nothing to fix.
• How your body is a friend that speaks the truth.
• The incredible ripple effect that happens when you live your truth unapologetically.
• How to feel into your body to find clarity and break free from old, stuck patterns.
• Why midlife is the perfect time to choose yourself and start your second act.

This episode is a loving nudge to listen to your body, trust yourself, and find the courage to live a life you truly love. It’s a reminder that you have a powerful, courageous self waiting to be uncovered.
