Description

This episode is for the woman who’s staring down midlife and asking herself: What the hell am I doing with my life? Whether you’re 34, 44, 54—or somewhere in between—this is a real talk pep talk for the version of you who knows something needs to change… even if it feels overwhelming, too late, or hard to explain.

LauraAura shares a powerful listener moment that sparked the title for this episode and unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of realization, grief, hope, and clarity that often comes with change. This isn’t about reinventing yourself overnight or burning it all down. It’s about listening to the quiet truth inside you—and trusting that it’s not too late to do what you really want to do.

No matter your age, this episode is a reminder that the time to start is now. Because clarity, purpose, and momentum don’t come from thinking harder—they come from taking one gutsy step forward.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why moments of panic like “I’m 54, what am I doing?” can be powerful turning points

  • How to honor the grief and identity loss that often comes with change

  • Why it’s okay to outgrow the thing you once worked so hard to build

  • How clarity often comes in motion—not before

  • A gutsy reminder that it’s never too late to do something for you
