125. Fangirling Over BTS in My Midlife | No Shame, Zero Regrets

Host Elizabeth Tiglao-Guss shares how buying BTS concert tickets and becoming an “Army” fangirl unexpectedly brought her lightness after over a decade of heavy seasons, including infertility treatments, failed adoptions, and a hard year for her family. After initially scrolling past a BTS Netflix concert, she clicked a replay and docuseries, got hooked, and binge-watched years of content while bonding with her longtime best friend, who fell into the rabbit hole at the same time; her husband Victor has been supportive. Elizabeth describes asking her therapist if her growing obsession was healthy, and being told it reflected new space created by detaching from what no longer served her and allowing simple joy without deeper purpose. She encourages women, including those facing infertility, to give themselves permission to feel uncomplicated fun, and signs off referencing a BTS song “Swim” about continuing forward.Confession TimeBTS Finds YouMeet the ArmyRabbit Hole BondingTickets and ObsessionTherapist Green LightHealing Feels LightPermission to EnjoySecret Out Sign OffOne Last SongConnect with Elizabeth:IG: @bychanceavenueStay connected & up to date with all things By ChanceWant to share your story?
