Summary
In this week’s episode of The Midsters , we explore who we were before the world told us who to be . From childhood curiosity and innate joy, to the social conditioning that shaped us as women, mothers, partners, and professionals — we unpack what it means to return to our truest selves in midlife. Leslie Ann and Mary-Anne reflect on the roles we take on, the expectations placed on us, and how much of our natural self gets edited along the way. They share stories about rediscovering curiosity, creativity, spirituality, and the quiet power of simply being — not performing.
