In this episode of Midlife Audacity, Celeste sits down with Erika Rothenberger for a powerful conversation about grit, resilience, and what it truly means to live with audacity in midlife.

Erika shares how her boldness and determination were present early in life and how they were profoundly strengthened through personal challenge. She reflects on how adversity can become a catalyst for purpose, leadership, and service, and how resilience is not something we are born with but something we intentionally build over time.

Throughout the conversation, Celeste and Erika explore the importance of daily self-devotion, setting boundaries that protect energy, and surrounding yourself with people who support growth and healing. Erika also introduces her BOLD framework — Believe in yourself, Ongoing progress, Lean on others, and Develop others — as a practical and sustainable approach to courage and expansion.

This episode is a reminder that midlife is not a breakdown but a becoming, and that audacity is not about force or perfection, but about consistency, connection, and intentional action.

In This Episode, Listeners Will Hear About:

• How grit and resilience are built through lived experience
• Why small daily habits create lasting transformation
• The role of community in healing and growth
• Setting boundaries that support clarity and purpose

In this personal and reflective episode of Midlife Audacity, host Celeste is joined by her daughter, Marley, for a heartfelt mother–daughter conversation about closing out 2025 and consciously preparing for 2026.

This episode is not an interview. It’s a real, honest dialogue about identity, growth, and what it actually takes to create meaningful change from the inside out.

Together, Celeste and Marley reflect on 2025 as the Year of the Snake, a season marked by shedding old identities, habits, beliefs, and even relationships that no longer served their growth. They explore how release doesn’t always mean “forever,” but often creates the space needed for clarity, healing, and new experiences to emerge.

They also discuss the importance of understanding seasonal and energetic timing, including why January is still deeply rooted in grounded Capricorn energy and why it’s meant for preparation, not pressure. As they look ahead to the Year of the Fire Horse, they talk about momentum, freedom, and expansion—and why inner preparation is essential before outer movement begins.

Throughout the episode, Celeste and Marley unpack the connection between identity and manifestation, why nothing truly changes without an internal shift, and how running the same mental “program” can keep life feeling stuck year after year.

Listeners will hear practical insights on:
• Creating supportive structures instead of relying on motivation
• Setting standards rather than chasing goals
• Using discipline as a form of self-honoring
• Building loving boundaries that protect growth and alignmentMarley also shares a powerful tool she uses every year to stay connected to her standards and vision, while Celeste offers her own reflective practice that helps her align with the future she’s calling in.

This episode is a reminder that winter is not a pause - it’s preparation and that real transformation begins with identity, intention, and inner work.

If you’re ready to step into the new year with clarity, alignment, and purpose, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

What happens when the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming?

In this episode of Midlife Audacity, I sit down with my dear friend Jen for a powerful, honest conversation about midlife reinvention, perimenopause, identity shifts, and answering the call to live more authentically.

Jen and I first met years ago as strangers on Facebook, connecting over health, wellness, and the desire to feel like ourselves again. Since then, her life has taken a bold and unexpected turn. After decades working in male dominated fields and later in government, Jen found herself facing perimenopause, a sedentary lifestyle, and a quiet inner knowing that something had to change.

What followed was what she calls “Jen 3.0.” A courageous midlife pivot into becoming a postpartum doula, supporting families through the fourth trimester, and now building a business that blends deep compassion with investigative wisdom to help parents protect their peace and their children.

In this episode, we talk about the sacred pause of menopause, the grief and freedom of identity shifts in midlife, why women need support through life’s biggest transitions, and how intuition often whispers before it roars. We also explore the parallels between postpartum care and midlife care, and why loving yourself back to life is not selfish, it’s essential.

If you’re a midlife woman questioning your next chapter, feeling the nudge to reinvent yourself, or craving permission to trust your inner voice, this conversation will speak straight to your soul.

And if you’re ready for deeper support, community, and nervous system grounded practices, I invite you to join Soul School, my conscious membership for midlife women who are ready to rise into their next chapter boldly, soulfully, and unapologetically.
