Episode Synopsis


When life shifts—kids get older, a job ends, routines change—how do you decide what’s next? Nikki and Damaris get candid about “Act II” pivots at any age, from the myth that fun fades after 40 to why confidence can make you hotter than your 20s ever did.

They talk navigating change: embracing an exploration phase, auditing what you actually want, and looking back to the interests that always tugged at you. Nikki shares how a small-town muffin project became a creative playground (packaging! photos! kiddos! a budding nonprofit!), while Damaris opens up about the money nerves of freelance life, the lure of a steady 9–5, and choosing priorities that match your values.

They also dig into the power of people: building work around your chosen family, why some of us thrive with collaborators, and how even hobbies can be more joyful when they’re social. Expect practical prompts, permission to pivot, and a reminder that questioning what lights you up is a sign you’re on the right track.

Press play for honest stories, a few laughs, and a gentle nudge to design a life that feels like you—whether that’s muffins, marketing, or something you haven’t discovered yet.
