After decades of working with women, witnessing their patterns, pain, and awakening, I come back to one question: Why are women hurting so much?

In this powerful conversation, my COO Diana, turns the mic toward me once again to dive into the ache so many women carry—and what actually heals it. We explore the invisible expectations placed on women, the cultural scripts we’re handed, and what it really looks like to reclaim your power.

I share my own story of nearly leaving my marriage, what I see in women who come to this work after trying everything else: the moment they stop outsourcing their power, the moment they remember who they are and the moment everything begins to shift.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The cultural blueprint women are handed—and why it’s failing us

• What it means to truly lead your life (and why no one is coming to save you)

• The early days of my own marriage and how I nearly walked away

• The real cost of shrinking, shape-shifting, and silencing ourselves

• How Midlife Muse is not just a program, but a philosophy

• What I’ve seen over and over again in the women who do this work—it’s not just transformation, it’s liberation
  
  

We are not here to perform, to please, or to prove.
We are here to lead, to feel deeply, to reimagine womanhood—on our own terms.

If this resonates with you, share it with a sister who is ready to begin her healing journey.

She stood up when women were told to sit down. When the world told women to be quiet, to fit inside the mold, she refused to be convenient. Instead, she raised her voice and encouraged women to be louder, to not apologize for owning their space and their powerful feminine sensuality.

This is the story of the legendary Mama Gena—author, teacher, speaker, and revolutionary sensualist— a woman who took the most forbidden word in our culture and turned it into a movement that set thousands free.

In this conversation, we sit down and talk about what happens when a woman reclaims her body, her voice, and her erotic power. We go deep into what it means to live turned on, to lead with feminine fire, and to raise a generation unafraid of their own magic.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Mama Gena’s origin story—from a shy little girl to a revolutionary feminine leader.

• Why she created a persona to carry a mission that was too big for her fear.

• The truth about sensuality, spirituality, and why desire is a woman’s most divine compass.

• Why our daughters deserve to know their bodies and how we can begin to rewrite that story today.

• What happens when women reclaim the word pussy—and why it's not a curse, but a key.

• How practices like swamping unlock grief, rage, and emotional liberation.

• Aging, eroticism, and the choice to grow more potent with time

• What women are really suffering from—and how reclaiming their sensuality changes everything.
  
  

This episode is for the woman who is ready to step into her own revolution. To live sacred, bold, and deeply alive.

This episode is unlike anything I’ve ever done.

In this raw, unscripted, and unfiltered conversation, I’m joined by my COO and producer, Diana, who flips the script and interviews me. We talk about what most people avoid: aging, womanhood, leadership, rage, beauty, purpose, and the resistance we face as women who refuse to conform. We expose the hard truths, the hidden pain, the sacred rage, and the relentless commitment it takes to lead in a world that often misunderstands and misjudges powerful women. This is not a soundbite conversation. It’s soul work in motion.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why I embrace aging—and what it really means to age naturally in a world that fears women’s wrinkles.
  
  

• The assumptions people make about me—and the reality of my deeply human journey.
  
  

• What spiritual resilience looks like in the face of threats, rejection, and misunderstanding.
  
  

• How women are being conditioned to obsess over youth instead of owning their power—and why this is the revolution I’ve committed my life to.
  
  

• What happens when women finally stop performing and start living.
  
  

• What I see for the next 40 years of Midlife Muse—and why I will never retire from this sacred calling.
  
  

Come sit with us in this space where nothing is off-limits and everything is real. This is womanhood, unfiltered.
