I absolutely love Confessions of a Freebird. It’s such a refreshing and honest take on what it really means to navigate midlife — from healing after loss or divorce to rediscovering who you are. The conversations feel genuine, the insights are powerful, and there’s always a reminder that it’s never too late to start again. This podcast makes you feel seen, understood, and inspired to create the next chapter on your own terms.

This podcast is a breath of fresh air. I love how the conversations are unfiltered yet deeply empowering, reminding women that freedom and reinvention are always possible. Truly inspiring!
Laurie captures true relatable advice that is directly transferable. You feel like you are chatting with her over coffee. Highly recommend
