Bonus Episode: Sisterhood in Midlife - a Conversation That Heals and Uplifts
In this special bonus episode of Your Voice Matters, I’m sharing a heartfelt, laughter-filled, and deeply real panel conversation originally recorded on The Midlife Butterfly Podcast with the ever-inspiring Kena Siu.
I was joined by five phenomenal women and dear friends:
- Dana Hunter Fradella – Girls Who Recover
- Jama Pantel – Brand Building: Living the Whole Picture
- Tracy Hill – A Beautiful Fix
- Casey Taton – Inner Spark
- Kena Siu - Midlife Butterfly
We got vulnerable about what it means to grow, heal, and reimagine our lives in midlife. We talked about identity, resilience, reinvention—and the power of showing up with radical honesty and compassion.
💬 “We’re not fixing ourselves—we’re remembering who we are.”
That one line sums up the spirit of this entire conversation.
✨ Tune in for soul-deep wisdom, a few belly laughs, and the unmistakable magic that happens when women gather in truth and love.
🎧 Be sure to follow these incredible women and support their work—links to all of their shows are above and in the show notes!
📝 And if this episode lit a fire in your heart, consider submitting your own story to Woven with Light, my upcoming anthology honoring the voices of women who’ve walked through the dark and come out shining.
