In this episode of Midlife Audacity, Celeste reflects on how abundance truly works - not as something we chase, but as something we expand into.

She begins with a deeply personal story about motherhood and the fear of not having the capacity to love more, and how that experience revealed a powerful truth: abundance doesn’t divide, it multiplies.

From there, Celeste explores why so many women trust abundance when it comes to love and connection, but tighten and shut down when it comes to financial abundance, ease, and success. She explains how identity sets the ceiling for what we can hold, and why growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels expansive.

The episode includes a gentle guided meditation to help listeners expand their internal capacity, soften resistance, and step into a new identity that can receive abundance with more ease and trust.

This conversation is an invitation to stop forcing outcomes and start allowing expansion - in your body, your identity, and your life.

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.

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.

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.

The holidays are often described as joyful and magical, yet for many midlife women they can also feel heavy, overwhelming, and emotionally demanding.

In this solo episode, Celeste DiDona shares an honest, grounded conversation about why the holiday season can stretch the nervous system to its limits and how to stay centered when life feels loud, busy, and unpredictable. As the darkest days of the year overlap with expectations, traditions, and constant stimulation, Celeste explores how to care for your nervous system without hardening your heart or abandoning yourself.

This episode focuses on simple, realistic micro habits that support emotional regulation, resilience, and inner steadiness, even during the busiest seasons. You’ll hear how small daily practices around meditation, journaling, movement, and mindful learning can help you run your day instead of your day running you.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overstimulated, or disconnected during the holidays, this episode offers reassurance, practical tools, and permission to start caring for yourself now, not later.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the holidays can feel overwhelming for midlife women
• How nervous system regulation supports emotional resilience
• The power of micro habits during busy seasons
• Staying grounded without perfection or pressure
• Why you don’t need to wait until January to feel better

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Celeste sits down with former teacher turned spiritual coach and podcast host, Christine Marcario, to explore what happens when the life you’ve built no longer fits — and the universe steps in to course-correct.

Christine shares her 19-year journey in education, the burnout she ignored, the intuitive whispers she pushed aside, and the shocking moment she was laid off on her birthday — a moment that felt devastating but ultimately became the doorway to her next chapter. Together, Celeste and Christine unpack how fear, identity, conditioning, and the nervous system all react when you’re standing at the edge of the unknown.

They dive into:
• how to recognize intuitive nudges before they become screams
• why the mind often lies while the body tells the truth
• the power of the pause and the spiritual importance of stillness
• daily practices that keep you grounded in alignment
• the courage it takes to stop people pleasing and live as your true self
• how community accelerates healing, clarity, and transformation

Christine also shares how retreats, inner work, journaling, and reconnecting with her intuitive gifts helped her rebuild her identity and step into her purpose with confidence and audacity.

If you’ve been feeling the tug for more — more alignment, more purpose, more truth — this episode will speak straight to your soul.

In this episode of Midlife Audacity, Celeste explores the real reason so many midlife women stay in jobs, roles, and routines that look good on the outside but leave their souls unfulfilled. You will learn how your nervous system, your sense of safety, and your core identity shape the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that create your reality.

Celeste explains why change feels difficult, how familiar patterns keep you stuck, and what happens when your body does not feel safe enough to let you expand. You will discover the connection between identity and purpose and why shifting the beliefs you hold about who you are is the key to awakening a new chapter.

This episode includes a simple hand on heart regulation technique, a grounding affirmation, and a guided meditation to help your body soften and your soul come back online.

If you have been feeling the quiet pull that you are meant for something more, this conversation will help you understand what is holding you back and what becomes possible when you choose safety, alignment, and the next version of yourself.

Celeste also shares how community has played a powerful role in her own growth and why having the right women around you can accelerate your healing, your confidence, and your awakening. Soul School reopens in January for women who want to rise inside a supportive, spiritually grounded community that keeps you anchored to your purpose and connected to the truth of who you are.

In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode of Midlife Audacity, Celeste reconnects with her longtime friend, Caren Cooper — a woman who embodies what it means to live boldly and unapologetically in midlife.

Caren opens up about her journey of leaving corporate America, navigating divorce, finding her voice through deep healing, and stepping into her power with her first TEDx Talk. Together, they unpack what audacity really means — and how it’s not always about making huge, flashy moves. Sometimes, it’s the quiet recommitments to yourself that are the most courageous of all.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Audacity isn’t always big — it can be a micro move that honors your truth.
• Leaving corporate life (or any old identity) is less about reinvention and more about coming home to yourself.
• The healing journey is messy, emotional, and so worth it — because the work works when you work it.
• True friendships and sisterhood are anchors through transition and transformation.
• When you do the inner work, your outer world begins to align in ways you couldn’t have planned.

Tune in to be inspired by a story of courage, authenticity, and self-evolution — and to remember that your most audacious chapter might just be beginning.
