I recently had the absolute pleasure of joining Shari Leid on her podcast, An Imperfectly Perfect Life – Life Unscripted. It was a vibrant conversation that touched on everything from divorce and dating to the shifting dynamics of friendships and the power of reinvention in your 50s.
If you’re not familiar with Shari, let me introduce you. She’s a former litigator turned powerhouse life coach and author—someone who knows firsthand how to turn life’s messy chapters into transformative stories. From her inspiring journey chronicled in her latest book, Table for 51, to her national speaking engagements and feature stories on ABC, NBC, and even the Today Show, Shari embodies resilience and reinvention.
During our chat, we dug into the raw and real experiences of midlife: navigating new relationships, redefining self-worth, and how to cultivate connections that truly nourish the soul. For me, sobriety and authenticity have been at the center of my own reinvention, and Shari and I found instant synergy around the idea that life truly begins when you stop trying to edit out the hard parts.
This episode is a must-listen if you’re in your 50s, going through big life changes, or simply curious about how to thrive in this beautiful, imperfect stage of life. From embracing vulnerability to finding joy in new adventures, we cover it all.
Special shoutout to my friend Sarah Elizabeth Noble for introducing me to Shari—this friendship has quickly become one of the gems of my midlife chapter.
