Duration: 32 minutes
Season 4: Midlife Mind-Fuckery Edition


"This season is dedicated to the woman who swallows more conversations than she delivers — the midlife woman who goes silent or nuclear with nothing in between."

In this episode, I introduce the theme of the season: learning to tell the truth without blowing up your life. I share my personal origin story — from my parents' divorce when I was nine, to 23 years of estrangement from my dad, to the breakthrough conversation that changed everything. I also break down my SODA framework (the four types of midlife conflict avoiders), I share the three currencies we pay for silence in, and dare you to count every time you say "I'm fine" this week.

Powerful Quotes

"You made it to midlife, Bitch. Own it. Own all of the words coming out of your mouth, and own all of the things that you've never said up until now. Because there's no other way out."
— Kristen Lena
