A Certain Age

Forget midlife crisis. Life coach and midlife podcaster Jen Marples calls the moment between what’s now and what’s next a midlife reckoning—a time when many of us feel called to do more but still struggle to identify what that looks like. On today’s show, Jen offers 5 ideas to help us answer the question—what’s next? Jen taps into 25 years of marketing and business coaching expertise to offer prompts to help us dive deep into what lights us up and where and how we should devote our time.  And Jen is walking the talk. After years of hustle culture and grinding, she hung up her corporate hat to follow her dream of helping other women launch their businesses and live midlife on their terms. Bonus! Jen shares why her podcast tagline is “You’re Not Too F***ing Old!”

Look, talking about pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t sexy. But pelvic floor health is a critical part of wellness and everyday living. Think bladder control, optimal GI health, pain-free sex, and mobility as you age. This week’s show features board-certified Physical Therapist Dr. Anne Duch, who dives into how pelvic floor health is impacted by pregnancy and childbirth, aging, loss of estrogen, and by our modern, largely sedentary life. Anne offers simple, doable ideas and exercises that every one of us can and should take to keep our pelvises in tip-top shape.

How do we hold grief in one hand and joy in the other? After the most difficult year of author Cyndie Spiegel’s life—a year of devastating losses and major health challenges—she found herself zooming in on the small things to stay afloat—life’s microjoys.

Getting to midlife teaches us that loss and hardship are not optional—in Cyndie’s latest book, “Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life is Not Okay,” she helps us hone the practice of uncovering joy and finding hope at any age and situation.

Today’s conversation is a warm hug, chockful of actionable guidance on the power of joy and thoughtful prompts for anyone looking to uncover microjoys in their own lives (no matter their circumstances). Yes, please!

Have you ever wanted a life do-over? In “My What If Year, Alisha Fernandez Miranda is about to turn forty and has summited the peak of personal and professional success; she has a Harvard education, a loving husband and children, and is CEO of an uber-successful company. But Alisha’s “good-on-paper-life” has a price—she’s overworked, exhausted, and wondering why having everything she’s ever wanted has her feeling like she’s missing something fundamental. Alisha puts her CEO life on hold and spends a year doing unpaid internships in the dream jobs of her youth—Broadway, the London art world, a fitness studio, and a Scottish luxury hotel. The result? An exuberant, hilarious, yes-you-can! book on second chances and reinventing your life before it’s too late.

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.

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.
