Life Coaches Unfiltered
Life Coaches Unfiltered is a bi-weekly podcast for the midlife woman who feels stressed, burned out, and stuck.
Hosted by three life coaches with very different specialties: Desiree, Michelle, and Doree. Each episode blends coaching tools, real stories, and unfiltered conversation so you feel seen, not judged.
If you’re a woman in midlife dealing with chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, “numbing out,” anxiety spirals, toxic positivity, gaslighting, or narcissism in relationships, this show helps you understand what’s really going on and what to do next: one small, doable step at a time.
You’ll hear episodes on:
- Burnout, boundaries, people-pleasing, and over-apologizing (“The Apology Epidemic”).
- Anxiety spirals, hypervigilance, and finding calm in chaos.
- Numbing out with food, scrolling, and busyness. And healthier ways to cope.
- Narcissism, gaslighting, and reclaiming your reality in confusing relationships.
- Growth mindset vs. staying in survival mode, midlife career shifts, and redefining success.
Whether you’re juggling work, caregiving, and everyone else’s needs or quietly wondering “Is this really it?,” Life Coaches Unfiltered gives you practical coaching strategies, uncomfortable-but-important questions, and compassionate truth-telling to help you move from overwhelmed and burned out to clearer, calmer, and more in charge of your own lif

Healthy Relationships: Green Flags, Communication, and What Real Love Looks Like
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After talking about toxic relationships and red flags in their last episode, the hosts of Life Coaches Unfiltered flip the script, and explore what healthy relationships really look like. From green flags and emotional regulation to communication, consistency, and mutual respect, this conversation challenges the idea that healthy love is boring and shows why stability is actually the goal.
The episode also gets personal. Michelle, Doree & Desiree reflect on how family dynamics shaped what felt “normal,” how old patterns show up in dating and friendships, and how healing changes what we are willing to accept. If you’ve ever wondered whether healthy relationships are supposed to feel calm instead of chaotic, this episode offers honest insight, relatable stories, and a grounded look at what makes connection work.
In This Episode
- Why healthy relationships can feel unfamiliar if you grew up around chaos or dysfunction.
- How family patterns influence the way we choose partners and friends.
- The difference between excitement and instability in relationships.
- Green flags like consistency, reliability, accountability, and emotional regulation.
- Why communication and speaking up for yourself are essential in adult relationships.
- How healing changes your attraction patterns and your standards.
Key Takeaways
The hosts share that it took time to understand that their early models of love and family did not represent the full picture of what healthy relationships can be. They discuss how some people are drawn to familiar dysfunction because it feels easier to navigate, even when it isn’t good for them. The episode makes the case that many people confuse intensity with connection, when what they actually need is consistency, honesty, and safety.
Another major theme is self-awareness. The hosts talk about how healthy relationships require emotional regulation, being able to pause before reacting, and saying “this doesn’t work for me” without fear. They also explore the idea that as people heal, their “green flags” change too, and what once seemed attractive may no longer fit who they are becoming.
