  • Fear, Faith & Rewiring Your Mind: Drenda Thomas on Becoming Limitless in Midlife

    Fear, Faith & Rewiring Your Mind: Drenda Thomas on Becoming Limitless in Midlife
    2025/12/02
    If you’ve ever felt stuck, silenced, or suffocated by old beliefs and expectations, this episode will feel like oxygen. In this powerful conversation on Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, Sue sits down with bestselling author, transformational coach, and BS-buster Drenda Thomas to unpack what she calls “the real BS”, the Beliefs and Stories that shape our decisions, sabotage our confidence, and keep us playing small. Growing up in a rigid, high-control religious environment, Drenda was taught to stay quiet, obey, and never question authority. Later, as a woman in law enforcement and corporate leadership, she learned to overperform, overcompensate, and ignore her intuition until she finally hit a breaking point. In this conversation, Drenda shares how subconscious programming, fear-based narratives, and inherited limitations quietly run our lives and how we can reclaim our power through awareness, pattern interruption, and building new beliefs that actually support who we’re becoming. 🔥 In this episode, we dig into: - The difference between stories and truth and how to challenge your inner critic - How childhood conditioning quietly controls adult behavior - Why women overperform and overgive (and how to stop) - How fear disguises itself as logic, timing, or “being responsible” - What hypnosis taught Drenda about money, self-worth, and freedom - Why failure is an “unexpected outcome.” - How to break cycles of self-sabotage and build unshakeable confidence This episode is a must-listen for any woman ready to ditch the BS, rewire her beliefs, and step into a limitless midlife.

    Now What? Finding Joy, Purpose & Resilience After Loss with Lisa Boehm
    2025/11/25
    What happens when life as you know it ends in an instant — and you have to decide what comes next? In this powerful and heart-centered episode of Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, Sue sits down with grief coach, author, and speaker Lisa Boehm, whose journey through loss reshaped everything she thought she knew about life, identity, and resilience. After losing her 17-year-old daughter Katie in a tragic accident, Lisa faced a choice: stay stuck in the grief that consumed her, or find a new way forward. Her path led her to write Journey to Healing: A Mother’s Guide to Navigating Grief, and now her upcoming book Now What? — a guide for anyone facing change, loss, or uncertainty in midlife. Lisa and Sue talk about the myths of resilience, the healing power of curiosity, and how joy — even in small doses — can be a life-saving force. ✨ In this episode: Why “bouncing back” is the wrong idea about resilience How grief transforms every layer of identity — and what to do with that The 1% shifts that move you forward when the mountain feels too big The healing power of service and honoring your loved one through action How joy, curiosity, and small adventures can reignite your spirit This isn’t a conversation about loss — it’s about life. And it’s your reminder that no matter what happens, there’s always a next step. 📬 Connect with Lisa directly at lisa@lisakboehm.com 📚 Read Journey to Healing: A Mother’s Guide to Navigating Grief https://a.co/d/ix8EbVC Join the Waitlist for: Now What?

  • From Perfectionist to Purpose: How Erin Washington Found Freedom in Midlife

    From Perfectionist to Purpose: How Erin Washington Found Freedom in Midlife
    2025/11/18

    What happens when the life you built stops fitting the woman you’ve become?

    In this candid and powerful episode of Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, Sue sits down with podcaster, author, and speaker Erin Washington — host of ThERINpy with Erin Washington (formerly Squats and Margaritas) — to talk about shedding perfectionism, healing from disordered eating, and finding freedom on the other side of “having it all.”

    A former D1 soccer player, NFL wife, and mom of two, Erin opens up about her journey from overachieving and overdrinking to living authentically and helping others do the same. Through vulnerability and humor, she shares how letting go of who she thought she should be led her to her true purpose — empowering women and teen girls to embrace imperfection, self-worth, and balance.

    🔥 In this episode:

    • How identity and self-worth get tangled in achievement
    • Breaking free from perfectionism and “good girl” programming
    • Sobriety, self-acceptance, and rebuilding from the inside out
    • Why midlife reinvention is messy — and worth it
    • How to model confidence and authenticity for the next generation

    Erin’s story reminds us that balance isn’t a myth — it’s an evolution. And when we stop hiding the hard stuff, we make space for healing, humor, and genuine joy.

  • Art, Fire & Flow: Alicia Tormey on Creativity, Resilience & the Myth of Balance

    Art, Fire & Flow: Alicia Tormey on Creativity, Resilience & the Myth of Balance
    2025/11/04

    What if fire wasn’t destruction—but transformation?

    In this gorgeous, soul-deep episode of Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, Sue reconnects with internationally acclaimed encaustic artist Alicia Tormey, whose latest solo show Pyrophytic explores the themes of rebirth, resilience, and creative regeneration through fire.

    Alicia uses actual flame as a tool in her art, fusing wax and heat to create luminous botanical works inspired by nature’s ability to rise from ashes. But this conversation goes far beyond technique—it’s about what it means to stay curious, generous, and wildly creative through life’s hardest seasons.

    🔥 In this episode:

    • The meaning behind Pyrophytic—and how wildfires mirror the human spirit

    • Why Alicia sees no separation between art, business, and life

    • The myth of balance—and what to aim for instead

    • How to sustain creativity without burning out

    • The mindset shift that changed everything: “I’m here for it.”

    Alicia’s wisdom applies far beyond the studio—it’s about showing up for yourself, your purpose, and your own creative fire, no matter what stage of life you’re in.

    Perimenopause Unpacked: Root Causes, Hormone Myths & Why You’re Not Crazy
    2025/10/21

    If you’ve ever been told “it’s just menopause” — this one’s for you.

    In this eye-opening episode of Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, Sue sits down with Dyna Vink, an Integrative Health Practitioner and founder of Holistic Nutrition Lifestyle, to talk about what’s really going on with women’s bodies during perimenopause and menopause.

    • Why your doctor might not actually understand menopause (and it’s not your fault)
    • What functional medicine testing reveals that standard bloodwork doesn’t

A former professional dancer turned educator and leadership coach, Jen’s work helps women reconnect with their body’s intelligence—the part of us that knows before our brain catches up. Together, Sue and Jen explore the dance between body and mind, how movement becomes medicine, and why embodied leadership is the secret to confidence, connection, and clarity in every area of life. 🩰 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why body set is the missing piece of mindset work How to access your innate wisdom through movement and gesture What your hands can teach you about your emotions How to transform self-doubt into empowerment through embodiment Why true leadership starts in your nervous system, not your résumé This is your invitation to stop thinking your way through midlife—and start feeling your way forward.
