This channel is for people who did what they were told and still ended up lost.

I'm Sheila. I'm 55. I followed the rules, showed up on time, and was so reliably competent that nobody thought to ask if I was okay... including me.

This is not midlife self-help. It’s midlife deprogramming.

I talk about burnout, identity loss, mental health, money, career grief, aging, starting over in midlife, and the rude little moment when you realize the life you built may have been built around survival, not desire.

I’ve my life surviving things I never signed up for, including a traumatic childhood, lifelong mental health struggles, and a shiny corporate career that looked impressive while quietly eating me alive.

If you’re still performing, still pushing, still waiting for life to finally feel like yours, subscribe before you waste another year calling survival a personality.
