My guest is Janet Webber, founder of Pure Joy Life Design. Janet’s life work is rooted in a simple but radical belief: that every single one of us is born with the right to know, give, and receive deep, authentic love. She sees love as essential—not just a nice-to-have, but a basic ingredient of happiness, as vital as food and water.

But if you’ve ever felt like love is just out of reach, if you’ve ever wondered why true partnership seems so elusive—especially in midlife—you’re not alone. Janet’s story is one of grit and grace. She grew up in the shadow of trauma and loss, battled self-doubt, and spent years learning how to love herself before she could fully open up to others. Even after building a life she loved—a career as a coach, a beautiful family, a sense of purpose—she found herself asking why real, lasting partnership still felt so hard to find.

That search led her deeper: into the patterns and beliefs that shape how we love, into the ways we can unknowingly block the very connection we yearn for. Today, Janet helps others untangle those patterns and discover what’s possible when we stop waiting for love and start uncovering the barriers inside us.

Whether you’re partnered, single, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for anyone navigating the changes of midlife and menopause—when the relationship you have with yourself can be the most healing, transformative force of all.

So settle in. We’re about to get real about love, longing, and learning to come home to ourselves.
