Ever feel like midlife has you running on an endless hamster wheel of responsibilities while your own dreams gather dust? Is the crazy chaos of caring for everyone else leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed? Are you in desperate need of some self care, balance and reconnection with your most authentic self?
I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast isn’t about surviving midlife; it’s about crafting a next chapter overflowing with purpose, joy, and delicious possibilities.
I’m Marnie Martin, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, daughter and a hot midlife Mama (literally) and over the last decade, I’ve been through career pivots, a divorce, and I survived the empty nest, only to have it fill up again. I spent the next several years travelling miles and miles every month to care for my elderly parents and my time and attention was so torn in every direction that I lost track of who I was, and I found myself in an endless cycle of people pleasing, putting out fires and running on empty. I know how it feels to be stuck in chronic overwhelm, stress and chaos and trust me, it’s not a pretty picture.
I decided that it was time to take MY OWN life and health back and I worked hard to reclaim my health through radical self care practices, recalibrating my nervous system and setting healthy boundaries that allowed me to start living my life “on purpose” again. I’m here to show you that midlife doesn’t have to be a crisis, but instead a beautiful invitation to remember who we are, to rediscover a new version of ourself, or to completely re-invent our life to reflect who we are becoming now-intentionally crafting a life by design that truly nourishes our soul. If you are ready to take back YOUR “Joie de Vivre”, then you are in the exact right place!
Each week brings conversations with health and wellness specialists, spiritual growth experts, and guests with courageous and transformative stories that will inspire you to break free from the overwhelm. You’ll walk away with practical strategies, meaningful insights, inspiration and the permission to prioritize yourself again.
We were born to thrive and experience life as the delicious feast it’s meant to be. Subscribe now and join a community of midlife women who are turning up the volume on their inner voice and writing their own recipes for a life that feeds their soul.

Perfectionism might be the most elegant prison we build for ourselves. That voice whispering ”not yet, not ready” keeps our dreams locked away – our books unwritten, businesses unlaunched, and creative gifts gathering dust. But what if perfectionism isn't high standards at all? What if it's simply fear wearing a fancy hat?
In this soul-stirring exploration, we unpack the science behind why perfectionism leads paradoxically to procrastination, anxiety, and unfulfilled potential. Drawing from Dr. Brené Brown's wisdom that perfectionism is ”a 20-ton shield we lug around thinking it will protect us, when it's actually preventing us from taking flight,” we discover how starting messy becomes an act of courage and faith.
Your talents weren't given to you to be endlessly polished in private. They were meant to be shared, even in their raw, unfiltered beginnings. Through practical strategies like creating a ”messy list,” reframing your inner critic, celebrating micro-wins, and surrounding yourself with people who value authenticity over achievement, you'll find the courage to begin before you feel ready. You'll learn to replace draining ”should” statements with empowering choices, and embrace progress over perfection in everything you do.
Whether you're dreaming of writing a book, starting a podcast, launching a small business, or simply living more authentically, this episode delivers the permission slip you've been waiting for – to start now, start messy, and trust that divine intervention will meet you exactly where you are.
