In this fiery and funny episode, Dr Kimberly dives into a different kind of PMS-Poor Me Syndrome.

You know the one: Subtle self pity, the "why me?" moments and the emotional hangovers when life feels unfair.

Unpacking stress, victim thinking & emotional drama drain and sabotage your goals-especially when you're facing big life challenges like court battles, career pivots or heartbreak.

With her trademark mix of humour, truth, and tough love, she offers practical mindset shifts to turn "Poor Me!" into "Power Me!"

It's real talk for women who are done with apologising and are ready to channel that fire into purpose.

"Because sometimes the best cure for Poor Me Syndrome, is a little perspective, lots of laughter, and the reminder that you are not being broken merely being rebuilt."

Where women rise, reclaim, and reignite their second act!

“I rise crowned, not broken. I recall my light. I am the keeper of my fire.”

Have you ever built a life that looked perfect, and then watched it crumble in front of you?
Sometimes the life we built so carefully has to fall apart, not to punish us, but to help us evolve.

In this episode of Second Act Rising, Dr Kimberly Harpur shares the deeply personal journey of what happens when your perfect world shatters...and how the pieces can reveal a truer, stronger & more sovereign "you."

Through raw honesty, soulful reflection, and a touch of humour, Kimberly explores the hidden wisdom in heartbreak, loss, and reinvention.

This is a conversation about identity, resilience, and rebirth, and about trusting that even in the wreckage, your next act is quietly starting to take shape.

When life falls apart it is often clearing the way for something greater!

In this episode, Dr Kimberly shares a raw and soulful reflection on heartbreak, identity, and the art of rising stronger, reminding us that someties falling apart is how we finally fall into place.

Where women rise, reclaim, and reignite their second act!

“I rise crowned, not broken. I recall my light. I am the keeper of my fire.”

In this debut episode of Second Act Rising, I open up about myself, what it means to begin again, after loss, after change, when life doesn't go to plan.

I share the story behind this podcast, and how it grew out of my own reinvention, and why I believe that our "second acts" can be the most powerful chapter of all.

Whether you're rebuilding, rediscovering, or rising from something that once broke you-this conversation is for you!

Come with me as we talk about second chances, resilience, and remembering your fire, and join me as we rise-Crowned, not Broken!
