Show and Tell: Rediscovering the Woman You Packed Away - The Rest of Your Story with Lara Zuehlke

Remember show-and-tell? In this episode, I open my Pac-Man lunchbox and talk about the parts of ourselves we packed away — the dreams, quirks, and creativity we once carried proudly. Because midlife isn’t about reinvention; it’s about remembering.

What This Episode Explores:

  • The symbolic items we store away when life gets serious

  • How childhood stories hold clues to our adult joy and purpose

  • Why reclaiming your playful, expressive self is key to midlife freedom

Why It Matters:
For Gen X women who’ve been hustling, caregiving, and proving for decades, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with your original spark. The Rest of Your Story reminds you that the girl you were still lives inside the woman you’ve become — and she’s ready to be seen again.
