Midlife Strategies for Badass Women

Still saying yes when you mean hell no? Apologizing for just existing? You’re not alone—and it’s time to flip the script.
In Episode 3 of the Midlife Reclamation: Summer Reset Series on Midlife Strategies for Badass Women, host and chief badass strategist Sue Willoughby takes a torch to the “good girl” programming so many women are still unconsciously following.
From people-pleasing to over-apologizing to tying your worth to perfection, this episode explores how the rules that were designed to keep you “safe” are actually keeping you stuck. And more importantly—how to start breaking them with intention, grace, and zero guilt.

🐴 With a little help from horse wisdom, Sue offers:

- A breakdown of common “good girl” behaviors keeping women exhausted and resentful

- Real talk on the myth of being “nice” and the power of being clear

- The link between your body’s signals and your boundaries

- A weekly challenge to flip one rule and reclaim your energy

- You didn’t come this far to stay small. Let’s set some things on fire (metaphorically) and reclaim your space, your voice, and your damn peace.
