Episode 16: I Took My Space Back

Episode 18: Building a Life I Love

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591021/fan_mail/new] What if happiness isn’t something you find after you hit all the milestones, marriage, kids, career, house, but something you slowly build when you finally start listening to yourself? In this episode, Donna and Meg talk about what it means to create a life that feels peaceful, joyful, and fully your own after divorce, heartbreak, motherhood, people-pleasing, and starting over. From guilt-free freedom and protecting your peace to rediscovering hobbies, friendships, independence, dating, parenting, and the small everyday things that make life feel good again, this conversation is about choosing what stays, what goes, and what gets to grow. Because building a life you love doesn’t always have to be dramatic  Sometimes it looks like saying no. Sometimes it looks like brunch with friends. Sometimes it looks like a podcast, a cold plunge, a clean closet, a quiet home, a loud family, or finally realizing you don’t have to make everyone else comfortable at the expense of yourself. This is a conversation about joy after change, peace after chaos, and the beautiful, uncomfortable work of coming home to yourself. What happens when you stop waiting for life to go back to the way it was… and start building something new instead? https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

Episode 17: The Year I Lost So Much — And Found Myself Again

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591021/fan_mail/new] Over the last year, Donna lost more than she ever imagined — a relationship, her sister, her cat, her sweet dog Nelly, and parts of herself along the way. But somewhere inside the grief, heartbreak, and rebuilding, something unexpected happened. She started finding herself again. In this deeply personal episode, Donna and Meg talk about what women gain after loss: clarity, boundaries, independence, peace, community, and a stronger relationship with themselves. This isn’t about silver linings or toxic positivity. It’s about surviving hard seasons, rebuilding honestly, and learning to love the person you’re becoming. Because sometimes the year you lose so much becomes the year you find parts of yourself you never want to lose again. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

Episode 16: I Took My Space Back

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591021/fan_mail/new] EPISODE 16 — I Took My Space Back After heartbreak, loss, and major life shifts, Donna and Meg talk about the surprising power of reclaiming your space, physically, emotionally, and mentally. From packing away old memories to repainting walls, changing routines, reclaiming your side of the bed, and creating peace inside your home, this episode explores how healing often begins with the smallest changes. But this conversation goes deeper than furniture and décor. It’s about nervous systems, grief, boundaries, betrayal, loneliness, friendship, emotional survival, and the quiet realization that home should feel safe — especially to you. Because sometimes reclaiming your space is really about reclaiming yourself. Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with a breakthrough. Sometimes it begins with moving the furniture. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

Episode 15: If You Keep Telling the Story, You Won’t Heal

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591021/fan_mail/new] In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg are joined by longtime friend Nicole for a conversation that will challenge the way you think about healing. Years ago, Nicole said something to Donna that never left her: “If you keep telling your story, you’ll never heal.” At the time, it didn’t make sense. Now, it’s become a guiding truth. Together, they unpack what it really means to let go — not as a quick fix, but as a practice. From heartbreak and divorce to parenting, identity, and midlife transitions, this conversation dives into the stories we cling to… and how they can quietly keep us stuck. This episode explores:  Why we replay the same stories (and what it’s actually doing to us)  The difference between processing and staying stuck  How to let go without closure or answers  The power of your “village” and not doing it alone  Asking yourself: what version of me is telling this story? If you’ve ever felt stuck in the past, searching for answers, or replaying something that still hurts… this episode will hit home. Because healing isn’t about forgetting. It’s about releasing what no longer belongs to you. https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered

Episode 14: Perimenopause. No one prepared us for it — and yet here we are.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591021/fan_mail/new] In this episode of She Shed Unfiltered, Donna and Meg skip the experts and get real about what it actually feels like when your body, brain, and hormones decide to do their own thing. From hot flashes and brain fog to weight gain, mood shifts, and sleep struggles, nothing is off limits. But this conversation doesn’t stop there. Because somehow… at the exact same time their hormones are going haywire, both Donna and Meg find themselves back in the dating world, navigating new relationships, vulnerability, and yes even a unicorn.  This episode is equal parts laughter, honesty, and “did that really just happen?” moments, including: *  The symptoms no one warns you about (and why it feels like you’re losing your mind)  *  How perimenopause impacts confidence, body image, and sex drive  *  The frustration of trying everything… and still not feeling like yourself  *  Why women are left to figure this out on their own  *  And the unexpected freedom of becoming completely unapologetic in midlife If you’ve ever thought “what is happening to me?” , this conversation will make you feel seen. Because midlife isn’t the end of something… It’s the start of a version of you that gives far fewer f*cks.  https://www.facebook.com/sheshedunfiltered https://www.instagram.com/sheshedunfiltered
