{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Perfection Hangover","slug":"perfectionhangover","podcastDescription":"

Perfection Hangover is a podcast for high‑capacity midlife women dealing with perfectionism, burnout, divorce, co‑parenting, blended families, and career pivots.

Each week, host Melissa Blevins shares real‑life stories about starting over after divorce, high‑conflict co‑parenting, blended family challenges, midlife career changes, sobriety, body image, and faith—plus simple “First 15” habits to help you stop people‑pleasing, set boundaries, and give your best energy to the people who actually matter.

If you’re a high‑capacity woman in your 30s, 40s, or 50s who looks successful on paper but feels exhausted, unseen, or stuck in survival mode, this show will help you surrender perfection, heal people‑pleasing, and reinvent midlife on your own terms. Pull up a chair—there’s a seat for you in the Perfection Hangover Circle.
