In Part 2 of this three-part series, we take an honest look at the real barriers that keep midlife women and empty nesters from pursuing their passions — even when the desire is strong.

This episode explores how fear, perfectionism, guilt, and emotional exhaustion quietly hold many women back after years of caregiving, responsibility, and putting others first.

If you’ve ever told yourself:

• I don’t have time
• I should be past this by now
• I don’t want to fail
• It feels selfish to focus on me

In this conversation, PK unpacks why these challenges are so common in midlife, how they impact motivation and confidence, and what begins to change when we name them with compassion instead of judgment.
