I experienced a major depression after my divorce, the death of my brother, and being smothered in mounds of debt. I struggled mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. My life was spiraling downward, and I needed a complete overhaul. The good news is that I made it through to the other side. My breakdown became my breakthrough. I discovered the solutions to regain my health, reinvent myself, and rebuild my life. I created The Midlife Makeover Show to help you do the same. If you are ready to write the next chapter of your life and solve your greatest midlife challenges like finding freedom through divorce, making your money matter at retirement, turning your midlife crisis into a midlife awakening, and downright enjoying your second half of life, then this is the podcast for you.
