Summary
At some point in midlife, many women begin to change in ways that surprise the people around them — and themselves. They stop tolerating what they used to accept. They become harder to manage and more honest about what they need. This episode is permission to stop apologizing for that. Growth in midlife is rarely quiet — and not everyone will celebrate it. Drawing on Glennon Doyle's Untamed, Courtney offers a three-question framework to help you distinguish between a genuine apology and the reflexive shrinking we do to make others comfortable with our becoming.
