It's time to shift from burnout to alignment, from doing it all to doing what matters—and feel good while we do it.
Welcome to Millennial Midlife
This is the podcast for millennial women in midlife who’ve done everything “right”—career, family, success—but still feel anxious, tired, and disconnected.
You’re not broken. You’re just burned out from a life of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance.
Hosted by Cecelia—a recovering high achiever, life coach, and nervous system guide—Millennial Midlife offers honest conversations, compassionate coaching, and science-backed tools to help you unlearn old patterns, reconnect with yourself, and feel calm, clear, and emotionally well again.

I was the high-achieving millennial who had done everything “right”—career, family, success—but inside, I was exhausted, resentful, and completely disconnected from myself.I kept thinking, “If I just try harder, I’ll feel better.” But trying harder didn’t work.
What finally changed everything was learning to work with my brain and nervous system, not against them.And that’s what this podcast is here to help you do, too.
