What if the hardest parts of your life finally made sense?

Wendy Valentine sits down with certified ADHD coach Andrea Morton, who was diagnosed with combined-type ADHD at 48 — after a lifetime of masking, over-functioning, and secretly Googling “who takes care of moms?” at 2 a.m. Andrea breaks down what ADHD really is (spoiler: inconsistent attention, not a lack of it), why so many women slip through the cracks until midlife, and how plummeting estrogen in menopause can unmask symptoms you’ve managed for decades.

She shares the tools that actually help — exercise, the physiological sigh, modeling self-regulation for your kids — plus the story behind her new guided journal, The Late Starter Kit for Late-Diagnosed ADHD Moms, illustrated by her daughter. If you’ve ever called yourself lazy, flaky, or “too much,” this conversation will feel like one great big exhale.

✨ What You’ll Learn

• What ADHD actually is — and why “inconsistent attention” beats “attention deficit”

• How ADHD shows up differently in adult women (hello, 2 a.m. rumination)

• Why menopause and dropping estrogen can unmask a lifetime of hidden ADHD

• In-the-moment tools: the physiological sigh, exercise, and modeling self-regulation for your kids

• How to trade shame and masking for self-knowledge, self-compassion, and self-love

What if the story you’ve been hiding is actually your greatest asset?

In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Elizabeth Brett — former NBC television reporter turned storytelling authority and creator of Story Alchemy™ — to explore how owning your story can transform your confidence, your connections, and your entire next chapter.

Elizabeth shares the near-death experience in the ocean that rewrote the course of her life, why women have been the story keepers for thousands of years, and how to uncover the “Million Dollar Story” hiding in your most ordinary moments. You’ll also learn her Sovereignty Filter for knowing which stories are ready to share, and the question that started it all: who were you before the world told you who to be?

If you’ve ever thought your story isn’t “special enough,” consider this conversation your permission slip to start telling it.

What You’ll Learn

• Why your personal story — even the messy parts — is your greatest asset for connection and authority

• How to find your “Million Dollar Story” in the small, ordinary moments of your life

• The Sovereignty Filter: how to know when a story is ready (and in integrity) to share

• Why storytelling is in women’s DNA — and how to reclaim your voice as a natural storyteller

• How stories work on the brain — people remember stories about 60% more than facts

What if the success you’ve worked so hard for could actually feel as good as it looks?

In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Lacey Newman — founder, coach, and keynote speaker who’s helped thousands of high-performing women build lives and businesses that are truly their own. Lacey built and scaled a real estate team to nearly a billion dollars in sales, hosted an Emmy-nominated TV show, and grew her income to seven figures — then realized she was running a wildly successful but deeply misaligned life.

She shares the moment she hit the highest high and felt nothing, how boundaries became her most strategic business tool, and why she walked away from the top of her industry to reinvent everything. Whether you’re navigating burnout, a career pivot, or a new season of life, this conversation is your permission slip to redefine success on your own terms — because it’s never too late to build a life that actually fits who you are now.

✨ What You’ll Learn

• Why hitting every goal can still leave you feeling empty — and what that emptiness is actually trying to tell you

• How to go from operator to CEO — and stop running your business (and your life) in reactive mode

• Why boundaries are your most strategic tool — and how they actually make people respect you MORE

• How to tell the difference between real burnout and a quiet calling toward something new

• Why midlife is the perfect time to redefine success — and rebuild your work from clarity instead of hustle
