It’s the final episode of the Maximizing Life series! Today, we're stepping into the actualization phase—the part where you’re no longer just talking about change, you're living it. Being it!

We started this journey with Awakening, where we recognized outdated beliefs that no longer serve us. Then, we moved into Transformation, where we turned awareness into intentional action. And now? Actualization—the part where you fully embody your power and step into the version of yourself you’ve been working toward.

This episode is all about being it, not just working toward it. It’s about aligning your daily choices, actions, and mindset with your truest self. I share my own journey of shifting from “becoming” to simply being, why actualization isn’t a final destination but an ongoing evolution, and how to navigate setbacks without losing alignment.

Topics Covered:

✔️ What actualization really means—beyond just setting goals
✔️ The difference between “trying” and truly being the person you’re becoming
✔️ Personal reflections on embodying my most authentic self
✔️ How to stay aligned with your growth even when life challenges you
✔️ The continuous evolution of living in your power

This is your invitation to step fully into the life you’ve been creating and know that your best days are still ahead.

Awakening is just the beginning—now, it’s time for transformation. This is where awareness meets action, where we move past outdated beliefs and step fully into our power. But let’s be real—transformation isn’t always pretty. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and full of moments where you’ll want to retreat.

This episode is all about embracing the discomfort that comes with change and using it as fuel for your growth. We’re talking about why transformation isn’t an instant “aha” moment but a series of small, consistent steps—a practice that builds the life you actually want.

I’m sharing my own transformation journey—how I navigated big life shifts like divorce, career pivots, and getting radically honest with myself. We’ll break down seven powerful steps to help you push through fear, release limiting habits, and step into the fullest, most badass version of YOU.

In this episode:
🔥 Why transformation feels uncomfortable (and why that’s a good thing)
🔥 How to identify your next growth edge and take bold action
🔥 The key mindset shift that makes lasting change possible
🔥 How to build self-trust and embrace the process of becoming
🔥 The simple yet powerful daily shifts that create real results

It’s time to stop hesitating and start owning your transformation. Let’s do this!

Welcome to the first part of the journey in ourMaximizing Midlife series! We’re kicking things off withAwakening—breaking free from outdated midlife narratives and stepping into the power of reinvention.

For so long, we’ve been fed the idea that midlife is acrisis—a time of loss, decline, or grasping for the past. But that’s a lie. Midlife is acatalyst, an opportunity to awaken to what’s possible, rewrite our stories, and create a life that feels more aligned and alive than ever before.

In this episode, I share:

• Thepower of Awakening and how it shifts everything.
• My own midlife wake-up calls, from questioning old beliefs to stepping into a completely new chapter.
• Thestories we’ve been sold about aging and why it’s time to unsubscribe.
• How midlife isn’t about “holding on” to youth—it’s aboutbecoming who you were always meant to be.
• Why some of yourbest, most vibrant days are still ahead of you.
• 7 Actionable Steps to in the awakening process, that I still use.

This is the beginning of a powerful journey—one where we stop seeing midlife as a breakdown and start embracing it as a breakthrough.You’re not in a crisis. You’re in a transformation.

Justin Wren, CEO and Founder of Fight for the Forgotten, Keynote Speaker, Author, and Former MMA Heavyweight Fighter (UFC, Bellator), and…my soon to be husband!, joins us for a powerful conversation on how we can all create impact—both big and small. As a former MMA fighter turned humanitarian, Justin has spent over a decade serving the Batwa Pygmy people in Uganda and surrounding areas, building sustainable solutions for clean water, land, healthcare, and education. But impact isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about showing up, listening, and making a difference in ways that truly last.

In this episode, we explore what it means to create meaningful change, why impact starts with personal transformation, and how small actions—like a simple hug—can ripple into something bigger than we ever imagined.

Key Takeaways:

- Impact is a mindset, not just an action. Every moment is an opportunity to make a difference, whether through small daily acts of kindness or large-scale initiatives.

- The difference between giving and empowering. Justin shares why sustainability matters in philanthropy and how Fight for the Forgotten focuses on long-term solutions rather than short-term handouts.

- The paradox of contribution. True impact starts with deep listening and allowing communities to lead their own solutions.

- The link between self-care and impact. How Justin’s journey through recovery taught him that taking care of himself was the key to making a greater impact on others.

- Managing expectations in service work. The importance of patience and letting go of control when it comes to making a difference.

- The unexpected sources of support. Why the people who show up for your mission may not always be the ones you expect—and how to stay open to receiving help in surprising ways.
