Fired—and Finally Free
How Losing My Job Sparked a Midlife Self‑Love & Personal Growth Reset

What happens when the moment that’s supposed to break you becomes the doorway to everything real? In this opening episode, I take you back to the day I was fired for refusing to compromise my values in a male‑dominated sports world—and how that “worst day” cracked me open, not apart. It was my #MeToo before it had a name… and the beginning of rebuilding my life from the inside out.

If you’re a woman in midlife who’s done “all the right things” and still feels off—burned out, boxed in, or just hungry for more—this is your invitation inward. I’ll share how I went from chasing external validation to cultivating true self‑love, boundaries, and purpose. You’ll hear the seven pillars that guide this show (and my life), and why loving yourself isn’t fluff, it’s a strategy for living.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The gut‑punch of getting fired and why it became freedom
• Choosing your values over approval (even when it costs you)
• What “inside‑out” really means for healing, growth, and reinvention
• The seven pillars that will anchor every episode moving forward
• How to start your own reset with simple, doable shifts today

This podcast is for you if:

• You’re navigating midlife transitions (career, relationships, identity)
• You’re craving personal growth, deeper self‑trust, and true alignment
• You’re tired of surface-level “self-care” and want real tools that work
• You want honest conversations, practical guidance, and heart-centered community

Hit follow/subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and come back each week for solo episodes, guest interviews, and on-the-ground tools to help you love—and live—from the inside out.

Let’s do this together.
