TMM PODCAST EPISODE 077: The School of Midlife, the O.R.G.Y Method with Lisa Burnage
Our guest in today's episode, Lisa Burnage, shares the same mission I have and that is to prepare, equip, and help women who are going through or are yet to go through all the changes and challenges midlife brings. We talk about Lisa's experiences before she founded The School of Midlife and the O.R.G.Y method (and it's not what you think). We also discuss what it means to let go of perfectionism to achieve progress, and much more.
You don't have to dread this stage of life, nor do you have to go through it alone. Listen to today's episode now!
