The Totally Awesome Mini-Quest Show!

Or...Your First Steps Toward Adventure

If you're wading through the glorious mess of midlife and thinking, "Is this all there is?" We have something for your stagnant soul! Get ready for The Totally Awesome Mini-Quest Show, the only show brave enough to tackle those crummy midlife hurdles you don’t get to talk about with a healthy dose of "been there, survived that" realness.

Forget those perfectly curated influencer feeds – we're Lisa-Marie Cabrelli of Call for Heroines and Suzanna Quintana of The Totally Awesome After, two authentic Gen X women who've navigated the questionable fashion choices, the big hair, the dial-up era, (NEED more Gen X stuff here - you’re good at that!) and now, the existential challenge of figuring out your Extraordinary Life. We're not selling you some unattainable dream; we're in the trenches with you, just trying to flip the script one mini-quest at a time.

What's this "mini-quest" nonsense, you ask? Think bite-sized challenges designed to shake things up and maybe, just maybe, remind you that you're still the awesome human you were before the responsibilities piled higher than your laundry. And YES, you are still the author of your life.

Each week, we dive into a specific issue or hurdle that hits differently in midlife. Then, we (and sometimes a brave guest!) present you with tiny, real-world actions (a mini-quest you can complete in a week) to see what happens. We're talking about things like daring to say "no" (gasp!), trying that tricky yoga pose (prepare for potential groin strains!), or finally flipping the script on that lie you’ve been telling yourself for thirty-five years.

Why should you waste your precious few moments of free time listening to us?

• Because we get it. We're not some fresh-faced gurus telling you to "manifest your best life." We've lived enough life to know that sometimes just getting through the day is a win. The best part about being midlife is that we are our own wise women, with the battle scars to prove it. We'll be discussing the issues impacting midlife women specifically.

• Real Talk, Real Results (Maybe): We share the messy middle – the internal resistance, the unexpected epiphanies, the external pushback from bewildered loved ones. You’ll hear about and experience the "Upside Down World" we (and you) encounter during our quests.

• Steal Our "Elixirs": Every quest leads to some kind of takeaway: a mindset shift, a practical tool, a story that reframes how we see ourselves. We call these "elixirs," and we're sharing them with you so you can try this stuff at home. It's like CliffsNotes you carry with you on your Heroine’s Adventure.

• Community (Without the Pressure to Be Pinterest-Perfect): Our listeners try the quests, too, and share their experiences. You'll find a community of fellow adventurers who aren't afraid to embrace the "failing forward" concept.

So, if you're ready to inject a little fun (and maybe a touch of delightful snark) into your week while picking up some genuinely helpful insights, then tune in to The Totally Awesome Mini-Quest Show on Substack! We promise it'll be more entertaining than folding fitted sheets and possibly more life-affirming than finding a matching pair of socks in the laundry abyss. We'll recap previous quests and set a new mini-challenge each week, complete with a call to action for you, our brave viewers. Don't miss out on the chance to rewrite your own narrative, one tiny quest at a time!
