Podcasts by Air Hug Community
Welcome to the Air Hug Community, where you'll get the "real scoop" on what midlife means for women. I love to share stories, both personal and from special expert guests, that reflect on how midlife really goes...not how we're told or think it should go.
On the Air Hug Community Podcast, we talk about the good and the bad; the beautiful and the ugly; the joys and the fears...basically all of the feels!
This is a place where we can learn from our experiences and the experiences of others moving through midlife with pride, tenacity, beauty, and curiosity. Even with its challenges, I truly believe midlife to be the best years of our lives and I can't wait to share that passion with you. I am so glad you are here on this journey with me.
