In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author Jane Green to talk about her rewilding memoir and her powerful journey of midlife reinvention.
We explore what happens when a woman reclaims her identity after success, marriage, and emotional breakdown — and what it really means to rebuild a life rooted in authenticity, boundaries, and self-worth.
We also dive into themes like the empty nester identity crisis, people pleasing recovery, and how somatic healing can help us process deep emotional trauma stored in the body.
If you’ve ever asked yourself how to rebuild your life after divorce, or how to stop people pleasing and finally set healthy boundaries, this conversation will resonate deeply with you.
This is not just an interview — it’s a conversation about coming home to yourself.
