    32|Feeling Stuck in Midlife? How to Stop Repeating Emotional Cycles with Carol Pilkington

    Have you ever found yourself thinking… Why am I here again? Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? Why does this feel so familiar — and so exhausting? Midlife has a way of bringing everything to the surface. The relationships. The unfinished conversations. The boundaries we didn’t set. The truths we swallowed. The parts of ourselves we abandoned to keep the peace. And suddenly we feel stuck. In this brave and honest conversation, Karen Rae sits down with Carol Pilkington to talk about what’s really happening underneath those repeating emotional cycles — and why midlife can feel like both a breakdown and a breakthrough. Together, they explore: Why we keep repeating the same relationship or life patterns The emotional weight of unspoken truth What it actually means to “complete” something internally How to reclaim your voice and your energy The quiet liberation that comes from finally closing a chapter If you’re navigating divorce, reinvention, leadership shifts, empty nest, or simply waking up to the realization that you want something different — this episode is for you. Because being stuck isn’t failure. It’s often the moment before clarity. And sometimes, the bravest thing we can do… is stop repeating what no longer serves us. This is a conversation for women ready to break old cycles, trust themselves again, and move forward with courage. Let’s Connect to go deeper into the process of understanding and Completing Cycles of Action© https://carolpilkington.com/connect ✨ This episode is part of our Special Edition collaboration honoring the women of Debbie Prediger’s SHINE Circle.

    30|What happens when you hit rock bottom—and decide to rise anyway?

    A Ball Bounces Higher the Harder It Hits the Ground What happens when you hit rock bottom—and decide your story will no longer be told for you? In this powerful episode, Deanna Powell shares her journey of getting sober in 2012 and the courage it took to reclaim her voice, her truth, and her future. After years of addiction, judgment, and painful family dynamics, Deanna reached a breaking point—and chose to rise. She opens up about the moment she decided to tell her entire story publicly—the good, the hard, and the uncomfortable—rather than letting rumors and misinformation define her. What began as an act of self-protection became a turning point of empowerment, healing, and deep personal transformation. This conversation explores: • sobriety and rebuilding your life • the courage it takes to be vulnerable • letting go of relationships that no longer support your growth • knowing your worth and writing your own next chapter Deanna also shares how trusting herself and her dreams led her to a life she once believed was out of reach—including becoming a single mom by choice and building a life centered on truth, joy, and intention. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, faced starting over, or needed the reminder not to quit before the miracle. 🎧 Listen in and be reminded: sometimes, the harder you hit the ground, the higher you rise. Deanna Powell has been in real estate for over 30 years and recently started a podcast called Intrepid Storytelling, where she dives deep into the human experience through real, unfiltered, and transformational stories. Each episode features courageous (dare I say INTREPID) individuals who have faced adversity, trauma, resilience, healing, reinvention, and personal breakthroughs. From survival and recovery to empowerment and purpose, her guests have overcome abuse, chronic illnesses, loss of loved ones, and so much more. Their stories remind us of the strength and intrepid spirit inside us ALL! She has her own intrepid story to tell. www.IntrepidHomeTeam.com & www.youtube.com/@intrepidstorytelling *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ Apply to Share your story on the Podcast: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13oXAZj-Dgi1dQh6LP7xbfTM9LHqrpIKsawWop93OIlo/edit Be Inspired or Submit a written story at www.favelifestyles.app Connect with Karen to see how your resources to help women take their next brave step can be featured on our app or digital publication at Karen@favelifestyles.com A Gift for YOU - New Special Edition with The Women of the Shine Circle Get Your FREE Celebrating Being Everyday Brave Digital Magazine to support your next brave steps: subscribepage.io/CelebratingEverydayBraveFieldGuide

    The Golden Thread: a Conversation with Michele Heffron In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Michele Heffron — one of those wise friends who always seems to offer the exact words you didn’t know you needed. We talk about the golden thread that runs through a woman’s life — the experiences, endings, and quiet turning points that shape who she becomes. Michele shares pieces of her own story and how walking through divorce, identity shifts, and reinvention led her to listen more deeply to herself and to life. This isn’t a conversation about fixing or rushing ahead. It’s about noticing the patterns, honoring the wisdom earned along the way, and trusting that even the hardest seasons are part of something meaningful. If you’re in a place of transition, wondering who you are now — or who you’re becoming — this conversation will feel like a gentle exhale and a reminder that you’re not alone. Michèle Heffron is a life, relationship, and divorce coach who helps women navigate endings, rediscover themselves, and step into what’s next with intention and heart.
