A Certain Age

Bonus Episode: Kirsten Miller on “The Change”: Menopause, Magic Realism, and the Superpowers of Midlife


Listen Later

Can midlife be a portal to our most powerful selves? What if menopause came with superpowers?

In this A Certain Age bonus episode, listen in as host Katie Fogarty and author Kirsten Miller explore "The Change," a razor-sharp feminist revenge fantasy about three women who navigate the thickets of menopause and small-town murder with superpowers unlocked by midlife.

Miller crafts a tale that's equal parts thriller, feminist manifesto, and pacy, page-turning magical realism—a recipe that landed "The Change" as a GMA Book Club pick. We explore how righteous anger can be alchemized into creativity and action, why women in their forties and fifties represent "the most powerful generation of women in the history of the world," and how midlife gives us a clearer vision of our gifts.

Forget invisible—in "The Change," the women are powerful and completely out of f*cks to give. That is to say, they are unstoppable.

This bonus episode aired on our sister show The Midlife Book Club. Find our midlife book content 24/7 on social @themidlifebookclub and on our website: www.themidlifebookclub.com.
