Today’s episode is one that had my heart bursting with hope, resilience, and sisterhood, because I am sitting down with the one and only Yvette Nicole Brown!
My Homies, listen up. If you’ve ever worried that the best things in life have passed you by, that it’s too late for love, happiness, or even feeling good in your own damn skin — Yvette is proof positive that it’s NEVER too late. This woman, let me tell you, found real love at 53, stood firmly in her self-worth, and did NOT settle when the world told her she should.
We dig DEEP into:
- The CRUCIAL difference between being confident and being authentic
- Rewriting the rules for love, success, and happiness after 40 (or 50… or ever!)
- How to process and grieve the dreams you thought you had to give up—and why that actually opens up new possibilities
- Why everyone’s timeline is BS and NO, you have not “missed the train”
- Navigating loneliness with honesty, humor, and genuine friendship (including “happy for you, sad for me” moments)
- Spotting the red flags in toxic relationships, and how a single moment of brutal self-honesty can change everything
- The real talk about menopause—brain fog, hot flashes, relationships, and reclaiming your energy (plus, why we need to TALK ABOUT IT!)
- Practical, hilarious examples of how to stand in your worth, establish real boundaries, and love your life exactly as it is
Your happiness does NOT sit in someone else’s pocket. Your timeline is YOURS. And the love, joy, purpose, and self-respect you’re craving? They’re ALWAYS worth fighting for—at any age.
So, stop waiting for permission and start showing up for yourself, TODAY. This episode is your roadmap for living unapologetically, aging joyfully, and loving fiercely—because you, my friend, are more than enough!
