You look in the mirror and think, When did I disappear?
Somewhere between raising kids, managing relationships, building careers, and being the “low maintenance” one, you stopped centering yourself. You became productive. Reliable. Easy.
And now? You’re not so sure who you are anymore.
This Valentine’s week, Karen and Lisa get real about what self-love actually means for women in midlife — and it’s not bubble baths and spa days.
It’s boundaries.
It’s keeping the damn piece of cake.
It’s saying no without apologizing.
It’s choosing yourself after decades of blending in.
From hilarious holiday meltdowns to vulnerable stories about divorce, good girl conditioning, surfing at 35, and being praised for having “no needs,” this conversation explores the slow burn of self-abandonment — and the courage it takes to reclaim your voice.
They unpack why women over 40 struggle with self-worth, the difference between self-care and real self-love, and why choosing yourself in midlife can feel rebellious — and freeing.
This episode is for the woman in her 40s, 50s, or 60s who feels disconnected, exhausted from people-pleasing, or ready to stop shrinking.
Because loving yourself isn’t indulgent.
It’s overdue.

Description

Drinks With the Girls® 🍸☕ | Real Talk for Women Over 40
Welcome to Drinks With the Girls® , the ultimate podcast for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s ready to live life unapologetically. 🎙️ Hosted by empowerment coach Karen Shatafian and literacy consultant/special needs mama Lisa Corricello-McDowell, we’re two longtime friends sharing real conversations about everything that matters to women in midlife.
From navigating loss and grief, surviving empty nest syndrome, and redefining relationships to tackling menopause, self-reinvention, and setting rock-solid boundaries — no topic is off-limits. We laugh, cry, reminisce, and celebrate the messy, magical journey of becoming our truest selves.
If you’re craving honest midlife conversations, heartwarming nostalgia, empowering advice, and a reminder that you’re not alone — pull up a chair (and a cocktail or coffee) and join us. Cheers to midlife reinvention, women empowerment, mental health, and the beauty of female friendship.
