If you’re a midlife woman who’s ever been told to “cut your hair,” “dress your age,” “stop listening to that music,” or “maybe let your gray grow in”… this episode is going to hit home.

This week, Julee and Michele are diving into the wild world of unsolicited advice in midlife—why people dish it out, why it stings more when it comes from family, and how you can reclaim your power with grace, boundaries, confidence… and a whole lot of humor.

From backhanded compliments to “helpful” suggestions about your clothes, your parenting, your hair, your mood swings, and even your uterus (yes, really), we’re breaking down exactly how to respond—without shrinking, snapping, or sacrificing your sanity.

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod aggressively, and you’ll walk away with practical comebacks, mindset shifts, and empowering tools to help you navigate all the midlife commentary you never asked for.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• The REAL reason people feel so comfortable offering advice you didn’t ask for
• How to deflect politely when you want to keep the peace
• What boundary-setting looks like with friends, coworkers, and (ahem)… family
• How unsolicited opinions often say more about them than you
• Using humor as your secret weapon
• Midlife confidence: finding your voice and using it unapologetically
• The reminder every midlife woman needs to hear: You don’t have to justify your choices

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Why do people think they can say that?” … this episode is your new best friend.

Tune in, laugh with us, and remember:
Stay spicy, stay authentic, and let their opinions stay THEIR problem—not yours.

Are you ready to take your "spiciness" to the next level?!
