About this episode

What if putting yourself first was the key to living your best life? In this episode of Not Over, Just Different, I sit down with Julia Mikk to talk about “sacred selfishness”—a game-changing mindset for women in their 40s and 50s. We dive into why this stage of life is the perfect time to redefine priorities and embrace the kind of self-care that leads to real fulfillment.

You’ll hear how to let go of old beliefs, balance your masculine and feminine energies, and master the art of receiving without guilt. Julia and I share practical ways to clear space in your life so you can invite in new opportunities and focus on what truly lights you up.

If you’re ready to take charge of your next chapter with purpose and confidence, this conversation is for you. Let’s explore how sacred selfishness can help you thrive and create a ripple effect of joy and abundance for everyone around you!
