Celebrating 46 - My Mental Health First Aid Kit and Lessons Learned in "MidLife"

In today's pep talk, I share about one of the best things you can have in your back pocket admist the chaos of all the things: a mental health first aid kit. Midlife is a whole vibe—entrepreneurship, AI tools, sound baths, and perimenopause (because why not?!). If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the things—from business growth to life’s curveballs—you need to tune in to this episode!

In today's episode, I share:

  • The simple daily habits that help me stay sane (even during hormone-fueled meltdowns)
  • How to create your own mental health first aid kit for stress, overwhelm, and burnout
  • Why mixing strategy with soul is the key to sustainable success
  • My favorite self-care tools—like Pilates, journaling, sound baths, and yes, 2000s throwback dance parties
