What happens when the roles, expectations and identities you've carried for years no longer feel like you?

In this episode, Mary Michele sits down with life coach Shelly Leslie for a powerful conversation about identity, self-expression and what it really takes to find your way back to yourself in midlife. From the ways we unknowingly suppress who we are to the small choices that help us reclaim our confidence, joy and visibility, this conversation is an invitation to stop living as the woman you thought you were supposed to be—and start becoming more fully yourself.

In this episode, you'll discover:
✨ Where you may be suppressing yourself—and how years of "shoulds,"
expectations and fitting in can leave you wondering who you really are.
✨ Why visibility begins on the inside—and how reconnecting with what you
want, what brings you joy and how you want to show up changes the way
you move through the world.
✨ The power of the "turtle step"—how one tiny, completely doable choice
can begin moving you from feeling stuck or invisible toward becoming more
fully expressed.

Trained through Martha Beck's Wayfinder Life Coach program, Shelly brings together decades of experience in leadership, creativity, communication, and personal transformation to help women move beyond the beliefs and patterns keeping them stuck—and step more fully into who they're becoming.
