Episode 13: Single Saturday Nights & The Loudness of Loneliness

This week’s episode is a real-time life update — recorded on a quiet Saturday night, alone, with a glass of wine and a lot of honesty.

Lara shares what midlife looks like in the in-between moments — when your child is at their other parent’s house, the weekend stretches long, and the silence feels louder than usual.

In this episode:

• A family update after her brother’s recent health scare
• The reality of solo parenting during busy seasons
• The frustration of wanting companionship but not wanting to settle
• The complicated comfort of wine
• And how binge-watching Bridgerton can make you both swoon… and spiral

This conversation explores:

• Relationship loneliness in midlife
• Self-worth being tied to partnership
• Wondering if you’re “healed enough”
• Watching others remarry while you’re still waiting

Midlife isn’t always empowering quotes and glow-ups. Sometimes it’s a valley. Sometimes it’s crying into a microphone on a Saturday night.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Tomorrow is another day.

Until next time… be your best mess.
