    115: Andrea's Update: Letting Go, Falling In Love, and Realizing the Answer Is Not in Your Phone

    What if everything you thought defined you… dissolved? Your marriage. Your business. Your income. Your identity. And instead of panicking — you felt more alive? In this raw, funny, deeply human episode, Andrea talks about what happens after you burn the old blueprint to the ground--at age 50! This is less about "how to glow up" and more about how to let go without losing your soul. You'll hear:

    -How her new partnership makes no time for TV or phones

    -Why she wants to go sell books or bake bread now

    -How she feels less anxious and more ALIVE….with LESS money

    -How your flaws might be mismatches instead of defects

    -Why being busy is not the same as being alive

    =Her confront mass consumption head on

    -Hidden writer-grief about the reality of AI
