About
Hi, I’m Laurie James—author of Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go , somatic relationship coach, mother of four adult daughters, divorcée, and recovering caregiver. I created Confessions of a Freebird as a heartfelt space for women navigating midlife transitions—divorce, empty nesting, loss, dating again, or simply wondering: “Is this all there is?” If you're longing for more authenticity, joy, freedom, and purpose , especially after years of putting everyone else first, you're in the right place. Each episode, I’ll share: Practical tools and somatic coaching strategies Raw reflections and confessions from my own journey Expert conversations on everything from sex, grief, trauma healing, and finances to dating, caregiving, and reinvention We'll explore what it means to come home to yourself through somatic practices—and how to design a life that feels aligned with who you are now, not who you were 20 years ago or who someone or society has told you to be. Whether you’re in the sandwich generation, starting over after loss, or dreaming of your next chapter— Confessions of a Freebird is your midlife best friend. Think of it as a permission slip to evolve, heal, and fall in love with your life all over again. Because the most important relationship you’ll ever have… is the one you have with yourself.
