Style in Your Second Act: Dressing for the Life You're Living Now

What happens when your closet no longer fits your life?

In this episode of Second Act Sessions, I’m joined by personal stylist and fashion expert Maria Casabianca for a conversation about ...confidence, identity, style, and navigating change in midlife.

Because style in this season isn’t just about trends.

Bodies change.
Lifestyles change.
Many of us work from home.
And sometimes the clothes that used to work no longer feel like us.

Together, we talk about navigating body changes in midlife, dressing for the body you have today, simplifying your closet, building confidence, staying current without chasing trends, and creating a wardrobe that reflects the life you’re living now.

Maria shares insights from decades in fashion and personal styling while offering practical advice women can apply immediately.

Because style isn’t about looking younger.

It’s about feeling like yourself again.

Divorce in Midlife: What I Wish More Women Knew

Divorce in midlife carries a different weight.

By the time you reach your 40s or 50s, you’re not just untangling emotions — you’re untangling retirement accounts, shared investments, homes, businesses, and ...years — sometimes decades — of financial and personal history. The decisions made during this season can shape not only the present, but your long-term stability and future security.

In this episode of Second Act Sessions, Stephanie sits down with nationally recognized family law attorney, entrepreneur, and author Jill Coil for an honest and empowering conversation about navigating divorce with greater clarity, preparation, and understanding.

Jill is the founder of CoilLaw, co-founder of Moxie Law Group, and author of No One Dies from Divorce. Through her work, she has helped thousands of individuals navigate the legal, financial, and emotional realities of divorce while helping women feel more informed and less overwhelmed by the process.

Together, Stephanie and Jill discuss many of the questions women often don’t know to ask until they’re already in the middle of it all — from filing first, mediation, and no-fault divorce laws to financial preparation, legal fees, retirement accounts, long-term security, and protecting yourself emotionally and financially during major life transitions.

This episode isn’t about encouraging divorce. It’s about education, awareness, and helping women feel more equipped to navigate one of life’s hardest seasons with wisdom instead of fear.
