In this bold, heartfelt, and hilariously honest episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine welcomes back one of the show’s all-time favorite guests for the THIRD time — Andrea Owen, author, global keynote speaker, certified life coach, and the woman whose book helped inspire Wendy to become an author herself.

Andrea is back with her brand-new book, Live Like You Give a Damn, a straight-talking guide featuring 25 powerful truths to help you stop going through the motions, kick limiting patterns to the curb, and show up for your life like you actually mean it. From the “shit sandwich” you didn’t ask for to the intuition you keep sending to voicemail, Andrea and Wendy dig into what it really takes to stop pretending to change — and start living like you mean it.

What You’ll Learn

•       Why most of us stay stuck in the “pre-contemplation” phase of change — and what it takes to finally move

•       How to stop sending your intuition to voicemail — and what happens when you finally pick up

•       The fascinating story of the Chiron return and why your late 40s to early 50s are literally written in the stars for transformation

•       How to “metabolize” the challenges life hands you — and why digesting them (not avoiding them) is the only path through

•       Why the people who have hurt you the most are actually your greatest teachers — and how to start seeing them as mirrors
