Reclaim Your Joy: The Favorite Things List That Brings You Back in Midlife and Beyond

Send us Fan Mail

You can name everyone else's favorites — your kid's, your husband's, your best

friend's. But when someone asks you? You go blank. This week we fix that.

If you've been feeling lost in midlife — foggy about who you even are anymore

after years of taking care of everyone else — this episode is the fastest,

most joyful map back to yourself I know. It starts with one question we

haven't been asked since we were kids: what do you love? And it ends with a

simple, do-it-on-a-receipt tool called the Favorite Things List.

Because your joys aren't fluff. They're breadcrumbs — the glittering

fingerprints of the woman you actually are, the one no amount of shoulds ever

fully erased.

IN THIS EPISODE:

- Why you can't reclaim a self you never bothered to notice

- The Favorite Things List: 3 little moves (Then / Now / the Through-Line)

- How to get specific enough that the list reintroduces you to yourself

- Why what delights you points straight at your God-given gifts

- Your pinkie-toe step: reclaim ONE favorite thing this week
