Midlife Freedom
Midlife is an awakening, not a crisis! It's also about a lot more than menopause! This podcast shines a light on the often missed opportunity of being an empty nester, searching for a new purpose and creating a new chapter for the future. You'll hear guest interviews and insights on finding your inner strength, making brave decisions and taking a leap to live with courage! We talk about happiness, relationships, money, family, work and love, and a good dose of 'woo' too! Find out more at https://linktr.ee/Lindsayds
