Author, podcaster, and trusted voice for women navigating their biggest life decisions — this conversation with Stephanie May Wilson is like a comforting cup of coffee with a friend who gets it.

Whether you’re in your twenties, thirties, or beyond, if you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, doing it wrong, or never quite measuring up to everyone else’s expectations — this episode is a breath of fresh air.

Stephanie shares her insights on why modern women are carrying so much pressure to “figure it all out,” how to handle criticism (especially from the people closest to you), and what it actually looks like to create a life you love — on your terms.

Here’s what we’re diving into:
✻ What the Everything Era is and why it leaves so many of us feeling overwhelmed
✻ The Woman Question — and how centuries of expectations have shaped our choices
✻ The three roles women are often sorted into (and why there’s no winning in any of them)
✻ How to navigate outsiders who don’t understand your path — and what to do when the resistance comes from your spouse or family
✻ Why creating a life you love isn’t something you have to do alone

LET’S DIVE IN. 🖤

Hey friends—welcome back to the show.

Today, I have the joy of introducing you to someone whose work I have admired for years: Stephanie May Wilson.

Stephanie is an author, podcaster, and speaker whose work has impacted thousands of women all over the world. You might know her from her podcast, Girls Night, which has been downloaded nearly 5 million times, or her newest book, Create a Life You Love.

At the heart of everything Stephanie creates is this: helping women navigate some of the biggest, most tender questions of their lives—things like faith, relationships, calling, and identity.

She’s known for her warmth, her honesty, and her ability to make you feel like you’re sitting across from a wise, compassionate friend who has been there.

In today’s conversation, we talk about her brand-new book, Create a Life You Love, and why this topic matters so much in what she calls the Everything Era—the season in your twenties and thirties (and truly stretching even into our 40’s and beyond) when it feels like you have to figure out everything all at once - career, marriage, where to live, if you want to have kids or not…all the things.

Stephanie shares her insights on why modern women are carrying so much pressure to “figure it all out,” how to handle criticism (especially from the people closest to you), and what it actually looks like to create a life you love — on your terms. Whether you’re in your twenties, thirties, or beyond, if you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, doing it wrong, or never quite measuring up to everyone else’s expectations — this episode is a breath of fresh air and I know you’re gonna love the conversation as much as I did.

Without further ado, here’s my chat with Stephanie May Wilson.
