My kids call me a hippie—and honestly, I wear that title like a crown. 👑 I love walks that turn into deep conversations with God. I hike, camp, kayak, and swim like I was born to be outside. I’m down for gym days, late-night star gazing, and slow, beautiful picnics with good energy. I’ve got crystals in the windowsill, incense in the air, and peace in my spirit.

A free spirit with a wild heart, an open mind, and full of possibilities. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way. ✨♈️☺️🩷

Some people talk so much, you start wishing they’d just send a text… or better yet, a letter—carrier pigeon, smoke signal, anything but a phone call. 😩

You ever see that name pop up on your phone and immediately go into full-blown life assessment mode like:
“Do I have 47 minutes to spare right now?”
“Am I emotionally available for this conversation?”
“Can I fake like I’m in a tunnel??” 📵📱

Chile… I’m talking about them.
The human podcast. The conversation hostage taker.

And if you are one of those people… be mindful of folks’ time and energy. We’re out here trying not to hurt your feelings—but whew… you doing too much 😐.

Bless their hearts, but sometimes—ssshhh! 🤫😂

So Boom... I Started a Blog!

First Post Drops Tuesday, July 29 @ 6AM PST
substack.com/@theunpolishedpages

Let’s be real: life has been life-ing, and I’ve got stories. So I figured, why not put it all in a blog?
A space for the mess, the magic, the healing, the hilarity—and everything in between.

Welcome to The UnPolished Pages
Where the tea is spiritual, the healing is slightly sarcastic, and the glow-up is always under construction.

Every Tuesday morning, I’ll be dropping fresh thoughts straight from my soul to your screen. Think journal entries with seasoning. Podcast aftershocks. And the kind of “Girl, you too?!” moments that remind us we’re not alone out here.

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s mine.
And it all begins Tuesday, July 29 @ 6AM sharp. Set your alarm—or don’t. Just make sure you pull up.

Catch you in the pages.

✨ Big Announcement!

🎙️ Introducing My New Podcast: UnPolished with Geneva McClain. I’m so excited to finally share this with you! My brand-new podcast, UnPolished with Geneva McClain, drops Tuesday, July 29 at 6am CST.

This podcast is for grown women navigating love, loneliness, change, and everything in between. It’s honest, bold, and unfiltered—just like me. No gurus, no gimmicks, just real talk about starting over, finding yourself, and living life out loud after 40.

Whether you’re healing, growing, or simply tired of pretending you have it all together—this space is for you.

UnPolished with Geneva McClain premieres 🗓️ Tuesday, July 29th 🕕 6:00 AM PST | 8:00 AM CST

I’m kicking things off with: 🎙️ “That Time I Felt Too Old to Start Over (But Did Anyway)” A raw, real story about finding yourself again—after kids, after loss, after life does what it does.

✨ Something New Is Coming… And I Need Your Help! ✨

I’m working on something close to my heart — my very own podcast 🎙️

It’s real talk for grown women navigating life at 40 and beyond: the good, the sexy, the messy, the powerful. Think: empty nest vibes, grown woman energy, starting over, orgasms, wine, wellness, and why the hell nobody told us it would feel like THIS.

Before I drop my first episode, I want to hear from YOU:

If you could hear a podcast episode that speaks directly to where you are in life right now, what would you want to hear about first?

📊 Vote below or drop a comment with your thoughts!
(Poll options can be something like:)
1. Being grown as hell & still figuring it out
2. Sex, men & relationships at 40+
3. Reinventing yourself as an empty nester
4. No New Friends at 40
5. All of the above – I need it all!
