Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and those navigating major life transitions like divorce, reinvention, and rediscovery. If you're ready to shed old roles and finally put yourself first, you're in the right place.
In this episode, Wendy talks with Lauren Hale, a former Kindergarten teacher turned mature beauty influencer with over 800k followers. Lauren’s mission is to teach women over 40 how to make their makeup work for them—without chasing 20-something trends. Beyond beauty, she shares her powerful story of reinvention, vulnerability, and choosing herself in midlife.
They explore:
- Why so many women still struggle with belonging, friendship, and identity in midlife
- How self-care and vulnerability can spark healing, confidence, and authentic connection
- The power of saying YES to yourself, even when it means walking away from what no longer serves you
This is a must-listen for anyone craving permission to start fresh, embrace their authentic beauty—inside and out, and step fully into their next chapter.
