What if the scariest change you could make turned out to be the most freeing?

After nearly 30 years of dyeing her hair, Katie Emery made the decision at 50 to go gray cold turkey, and discovered it was about so much more than hair color. In this episode, the creator of Katie Goes Platinum shares her raw and honest journey, from the depression that sparked her decision to the surprising joy she found on the other side.

We talk:

1. Why going gray became a catalyst for bigger life changes
2. The emotional rollercoaster of transition (and why it's worth it)
3. Savage comebacks for the haters ("Wow" is just the beginning)
4. Products that actually work vs. total BS
5. Different methods to go gray (cold turkey isn't your only option)
6. Why 85-95% of women who go gray never go back
7. The powerful mindset shift: "You're no longer chasing who you used to be, but enjoying who you are now"

Whether you're gray-curious, mid-transition, or just here for the life wisdom, this one's for you.

What if I told you that brands are actively looking to pay Gen X and Boomer women to create content—and you don't need a single follower to get started?

Yeah, I know. It sounds too good to be true. But it's not.

In this episode, you'll meet Megan Collier, who's been teaching women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond how to create user-generated content (UGC) and get paid for it.

FYI we're not talking about becoming an influencer or posting to your own social media where your judgmental sister can see it. We're talking about creating content for brands to use in their marketing—content that can pay anywhere from a few hundred bucks per video to $10,000+ per month for those who go all in.

Megan breaks down exactly what UGC is, how it's different from influencing, why brands specifically want to work with our age group (finally!), and how you can get started even if you've never been on camera before. She shares real stories from her students—including her own mom—who are making real money doing this.

Come as you are. Show the heck up. And let's talk about making some money in 2026.

Is it ADHD or anxiety? If you've ever asked yourself this question, you're not alone. In this final episode of our 3-part ADHD series, host Jackie MacDougall sits down with ADHD coach Kristen Carder to unpack what ADHD actually looks like when it overlaps with anxiety, shame, overstimulation, and the constant pressure to keep it all together.

This conversation goes deep into:

✨ How to tell the difference between ADHD and anxiety (and why so many women are misdiagnosed)

✨ The "too much and not enough" paradox that defines untreated ADHD

✨ Why shame keeps us stuck—and how to break free from it

✨ Phone addiction, social media, and self-medicating behaviors

✨ Practical coping strategies that actually work (hello, productive procrastination!)

✨ How to work WITH your ADHD brain instead of against it

✨ Setting boundaries around your capacity and energy

✨ Why there's no "perfect system" that will fix everything

Key Takeaway: Whether you have ADHD or not, you are not broken. You don't need fixing—you need understanding, compassion, and support to work with your unique brain.
