Midlife is the season we finally stop doing things just because we always have. 👻

On this Halloween episode of Just Jelly Unfiltered, my friend Maria Williams, author of The Pretty Truth, joins me, and we’re each revealing the 6 things we’re ghosting in midlife. Some of our answers surprised even us.

We get real about menopause, mom guilt, people-pleasing, marriage, and date nights. Plus the advice a 91-year-old woman in a headband gave Maria forget it.

And Maria’s #4? You’re going to want to steal it. 😏
