Are you ready to disrupt your patterns and reclaim your life? The Uncaged Experience is still available. Find out more here.

Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and building a life that actually feels like yours. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today’s episode is a little different.

Because life right now? It’s not shiny or inspiring or tied up with a bow. It’s gooey. Messy. Uncertain.

And honestly, I didn’t even want to record this one.

In “The Messy Goo,” I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really feels like to be in the middle of a transformation when everything seems to crumble—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. From navigating the exhaustion and mood swings of perimenopause to questioning who I am and learning to receive help instead of doing it all myself, this episode is an invitation to breathe through your own breakdown and see it as part of your becoming.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The emotional rollercoaster of midlife transformation and identity loss
• The raw truth about perimenopause, hormones, and mental health
• Why doing it all yourself isn’t strength—it’s self-protection
• How to let support in without abandoning yourself
• Why the messy middle (“the goo”) is the birthplace of rebirth

This episode is your reminder that you’re not broken—you’re in process. The goo is the sacred space between who you were and who you’re becoming. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s where the real magic happens.

Challenge for You:

Ask yourself: What part of your own messy goo are you resisting?

This week, instead of hiding it, acknowledge it. Journal on what’s falling away—and what new version of you might be forming beneath the surface.
