The Rebranding Middle Age Podcast offers a mix of story, evidence-based education, and practical application to help midlife women befriend their True Selves, quiet the conditioning and noise, and (re)claim freedom, wholeness, and joy in a noisy and messy world. Welcome! I'm Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui, founder of A Life in Progress™. I'm a writer, grief and trauma-informed mind-body coach, joyful living educator, and brave, curious, 'messy human' in progress. I'm also a highly sensitive person, life partner of 31 years, and a proud mama of 3 wise and creative humans, including my son who died by suicide in 2019. I know what it takes to make space for joy amid the messiness of life. My work is for: freedom-seekers, truth-tellers, and stubborn questioners, highly sensitive souls, slow-movers, and non-hustlers, the anxious, grieving, messy, and healing, reforming people-pleasers, perfectionists, performers, and peace-keepers, brave, weary, and curious women in the middle season of life ready to quiet the conditioning and noise to (re)claim freedom, health, and joy.
