Find Your Lady Tribe

by Brenda Billings Ridgley

Find Your Lady Tribe: The Midlife Reinvention Season Stop going through the motions and start igniting your soul. Are you living on autopilot? From the outside, you’ve mastered the roles - the dedicated mother, the powerhouse professional, the reliable volunteer. But inside, that quiet dissatisfaction in your gut is telling you there’s more. You’ve become a Mom-bot or a Role-bot, incredibly efficient but disconnected from the woman you were meant to be. Welcome to Season 4 of the Find Your Lady Tribe podcast. I’m your host, Brenda Ridgley - author, Mindvalley certified life coach, and your personal Connection Connoisseur.

Episodes

  1. A Woo Woo Wannabe Meets A Witch

    The word “witch” can make smart, grounded people hesitate, even when everything else about spirituality feels comforting. So we go straight into the real question: what if witchcraft is less about aesthetics and more about sovereignty, choice, and learning to work with your own energy in everyday...

  2. What If Your Values Are Your Real Medicine

    A Friday afternoon text that says “we think you have a brain tumor” is the kind of moment that splits your life into before and after.

Brenda Ridgley talks with Jen Schultz, a manifestation...

  6. How To Turn ADHD Burnout Into Meaning

    The most dangerous part of burnout is how normal it can look from the outside.

We sit down with Dr. Cristina Lauk, licensed mental health counselor and PhD in...

  7. Trading Commas And Contracts For Creativity

    Your life can look “successful” on paper and still feel wrong in your body, and that quiet mismatch is often the real start of midlife reinvention.

  8. Cutting Off Narcissistic Parents And Reclaiming Your Life Force

  9. Who Are You When The Boxes Run Out

    You can do everything “right” and still feel lost when the boxes run out. That’s the moment we dig into with Sheree Holt, founder of Why Not Rome, a boutique travel brand created for midlife women who crave culture, community, and real connection. Sheree’s path moves from performer to corporate...

  10. Presence Heals When Words Cannot

  13. Your Hormones Are Not Broken, Your Body Is Out Of Rhythm

    The weirdest part of midlife isn’t the hot flashes or the changing metabolism. It’s the moment you look up and realize you don’t feel like yourself and you can’t explain why. Brenda Ridgley sits down with holistic menopause coach Eliza Riley to name what so many women experience in silence: the...
