Episode 52 | Guest Conversation: Have You Disappeared Inside Your Own Life? with Tami Goulet
The Wine O'Clock WomanShow Notes
What happens when the children leave home, work begins to slow down, and life suddenly becomes quieter? In this thought-provoking conversation, I'm joined by retirement and life transition coach Tami Goulet to explore why so many women reach midlife feeling disconnected from themselves.
Together we discuss identity, purpose, empty nest, retirement, and why wine can quietly become the thing we look forward to most. If you've ever wondered Who am I now? or felt like you've spent years taking care of everyone except yourself, this episode will leave you feeling seen, and hopeful about what's possible next.
More about Tami:
Tami Goulet is the founder of Speak Your Soul Magicks™, a shop and coaching practice in Ottawa, Ontario, where she guides women through The Second Half of Leaving™. She works with women who already did the brave thing. They left. Nobody warned them there was a second half, the part where they get to remember the woman underneath the roles, responsibilities, and survival strategies that carried them this far. Her work helps them stop saying yes when they mean no, hear what they actually want again, and stop going quiet at their own dinner tables. Part best friend, part cheerleader, part mirror, part tough love, Tami brings the practical and the magical together. She is the author of Whole All Along and serves as G100 Regional Chair for Ontario, Canada.

More from The Wine O'Clock Woman
Alcohol is sold to women as a reward, a way to relax, connect and cope with life. Yet when our drinking becomes something we're struggling with, we're often left feeling that we're the problem.
Changing your relationship with alcohol can feel like a very private struggle. But what happens when you talk to women who understand exactly what you're going through?
You drank again. Before you decide you’ve fucked it and you’re back at square one, there’s something far more useful you can do.
Why do we keep falling back into old patterns, even when we really want things to change? Julie Smith joins me to talk about the subconscious beliefs behind our behaviour, why willpower only gets us so far, and what needs to change underneath the habit for things to start feeling different.
What are you really looking for when you think, “I need a drink”?
