In Episode 41, Renée digs into why women in midlife neglect their friendships even though we are literally wired for connection.

    Ep. 39: What 70s Toys Taught Me About Courage, Identity, and Trusting Yourself in Midlife

    What do a Paint by Number kit, an Easy-Bake Oven, and a Magic 8 Ball have to do with midlife transition? More than you might think. In this episode, Renée reaches back into the toy box of her childhood and discovers that the games and toys she grew up with in the 70s hold some of the most powerful truths she knows about courage, identity, burnout, and trusting yourself. This isn't a retirement speech. It's not a highlight reel. It's simply this — seven truths earned through decades of showing up, letting go, and learning to listen to that voice inside that always knew. If you're navigating your own midlife transition — wondering who you are without a title, afraid of what comes next, or struggling to trust yourself — this episode is for you. What you'll hear in this episode: • Why showing up matters more than perfection • How burnout became confused with dedication — and what it really costs • What courage actually looks like when you're afraid • Why seasons end for a reason — and what transformation really feels like • How your identity can evolve without losing who you are • Why your inner voice deserves to be trusted Free Blank Page Lesson - June 1, 2026 signup HERE: www.reneejanes.com/blankpage Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579839857367 Join the HappyHer Community: www.skool.com/happyher/about Journal Prompts: https://canva.link/2i48hk4zxgekoev
