Listen "Starting Messy: Perfectionism, FFTs, and Midlife Liberation"
Episode Synopsis
Midlife isn’t a crisis — it’s a liberation.In this first full episode of The Liberated Middle, host Lisa Hamilton opens up about why she started this podcast and what liberation really means in the messy middle of life. She shares her own “FFT” (Brené Brown’s fcking first time*) of launching the show, her lifelong dance with perfectionism, and the career and life pivots that shaped her path.From body changes and relationship transitions to career curveballs and fresh starts, Lisa reframes midlife as a powerful turning point — a middle way between extremes, and a chance to come home to yourself.You’ll walk away with a new perspective, a simple reflection tied to the autumn equinox, and a sense of what to expect from the real, unfiltered conversations ahead.Special thanks to my soul sister, Jen Wilking, for continued encouragement, learning and accountability in getting this project out into the world!Music by RA, upbeat.io
