I thought I would get to midlife and I'd have it all together, sippin' dirty martinis wearing Sperry boat shoes and white cut off ankle grazin' mom jeans. But, instead, one day, life gave me a big middle finger and I woke up alone, unhealthy, disappointed, separated, slightly overweight, even more slightly hungover, and realizing that I was just reliving old patterns over and over again.
In our very first episode we'll talk about the three questions I asked myself over and over again that week:
How the F*** Did I get Here?!
Why am I so disappointed?
How do I move forward?
Welcome to your Circle of Kare podcast where we work through all the nitty gritty of midlife WITHOUT trying to fix ourselves. Join me, your girlfriend Kare as I work through my mid-life, mid-motherhood, mid-income, very MID existence to share the good, bad, and ugly of midlife. Hard topics, soft conversations, all while I navigate the messy middle - sex, health, body, career, relationships, friendships, grief, joy, gratitude, and how the eff we're supposed to balance it all, all while taking care of everyone else. Circle of Kare is a raw, unfiltered, judgment free zone. Come as you are, leave as you are, no 4am green juices, 100,000 daily steps, or self-improvement protocols necessary.
