Summary

We are getting real about something no one talks about enough: freedom in midlife. It’s the gift we all think we want—more time, fewer responsibilities, a quieter house—but once it arrives, it often feels disorienting… even disappointing. Why? Because freedom without intention can feel like a prison.But freedom with vision? That’s where the magic is. This episode is a powerful invitation to wake up to the life you’ve been given. To stop drifting. To stop filling your days with things that don’t truly matter to you. And to choose, on purpose, what this season of your life will be about. You’ll hear: A wild story from Edie’s childhood that shaped how she sees invisible prisons What to do if you feel lost or restless in midlife How to lead yourself with joy, vision, and energy Why self-leadership is the path to freedom (not the absence of responsibility) This episode will remind you: you are the source of your energy. And now is the time to choose how you want to show up—for yourself, your purpose, and your people. ✨ Ready to create your life on purpose? Join us for the Rise Workshop happening June 11–13!
