Going into surgical menopause overnight at 40 wreaked havoc with Monica Molenaar’s health, well-being, and marriage. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restored her equilibrium and overall wellness. Now, Monica is an “estrogen activist” working to offer menopause solutions, resources, and community to women in peri, menopause, and beyond as a co-founder of women’s telehealth and pharmacy platform Alloy. We talk hormones, breast cancer, why menopause is inevitable, but suffering is optional, and how to build a menopause support team. Bonus! Monica shares snippets of her expat life, and how a lifelong New Yorker came to find herself launching a company (while tending a garden) in The Netherlands.

One of our show's taglines is "Age Out Loud." But aging in our society is complicated, especially in our workplaces. Ageism is rampant in the work world and in our larger culture. Meet age activist Patti Temple Rocks, author of "I'm Still Not Done: It's Time to Talk about Ageism in the Workplace," who has ideas to bring age inclusivity to the modern workplace. We dive into the cost of ageism and how it impacts people, businesses, and the bottom line and explore what we all can do to eradicate ageism. If you've ever thought, "I'm too old for that," or worried that your age is sidelining you in your career, this conversation is for you!

Fitness and women’s health expert Amanda Thebe offers no BS ideas to feel fitter, stronger, faster, and saner in 2023. This is not a “New Year, New You” show from the land of diet culture and commodified wellness. Beauties, you are already more than enough. But as longevity increases, (re)commiting to fitness practices and healthy lifestyle choices keeps the trains on the tracks and fuels better health—for the long haul. Ready to amp up your 2023 fitness? We talk at-home workouts versus the gym, kettlebells, mobility work and functional fitness, how often to exercise (and for how long), and why time-crunched midlifers can embrace a “fitness snack” approach.

Do you remember rotary phones, the Go-Gos, Gunne Sax dresses, and job hunting with a Crane’s heavy-weight paper resume in hand? If so, you may be “tunics years old.” Humorist Wendi Aarons helps us work through our mixed bag of emotions on midlife, being “ma’am’d,” and our vintage vaginas—with a pitch-perfect look at the indignities, triumphs, and comedy of being a midlife woman in her latest book, “I’m Wearing Tunics Now: On Growing Older, Better, and a Hell of a Lot Louder.” Because funny never gets old.

Expiration dates are for milk, not for people. But in a youth-obsessed and beauty-focused culture, women are bombarded with messages that their value and worth are fleeting. Psychologist Dr. Amanda Hanson, aka The Midlife Muse, invites us to deeply question negative cultural and internal messages and offers us tools to build self-love, spark optimism and embrace aging as a spiritual experience. We get into the divine feminine, the transformative power of incremental change, and why you can't buy radiance at the beauty counter—time to invest in a "soul care" routine.

If you woke up this morning, there is more for you to receive, give, and become. Welcome to the new age – and a conversation on reinvention with Nada Jones, founder of the midlife platform and podcast Liberty Road. After a career nurturing female founders and authoring an Amazon best-selling business book, Nada is building a platform that superpowers midlife women. We cover the long and winding road to midlife, how to realistically reinvent at any age, why great things never come from comfort zones, and get into high-low holiday fashion and gifting. Yes, Team Side Part talks skinny jeans, the perfect hostess gift, and how to avoid “date-stamping” yourself with 90s holdover fashion.

Angel Cornelius went from mixing body butters at home with a Kitchen Aid mixer to founder of beauty brand Maison 276, now a national beauty brand and TODAY Show and Oprah Magazine favorite. We get into how Angel went from hospital administrator to beauty founder at 57, the rise of the pro-age beauty movement, how to care for silver hair, why your dry winter skin might need a body butter, and the beauty of self-belief. Bonus—how an improbable call from Essence Magazine changed Angel’s life.

Here’s an unwelcome midlife surprise: one in two women over 50 experience stress incontinence, aka urine leakage. That’s right – if you are afraid to drink water and then laugh, run, sneeze, work out, or, God forbid, sit in the middle row of an airplane, you are not alone. Please meet Aubrey Hubbell, co-founder of luxe, femme care brand Hazel, which is disrupting the billion-dollar urinary incontinence market. We may be decades into adulting, but we are decidedly not into—and not settling—for “adult diapers.” Goodbye Depends, hello Hazel—and hello to a frank, honest conversation on the taboo topic of midlife urinary incontinence.
