When you look up “midlife'' on Google, the word 'crisis' or 'menopause' are often attached to it. But midlife is much more than that.

Middle-aged women have long been portrayed by society and media as somewhat members who're much less capable once they're past their prime years.

We shouldn't let age (and stereotypes!) define who we really are! 

In this episode, we're going to reset how society and media thinks of us middle-aged modern ladies as Michela Di Carlo, the founder of Crunchy Talks, the first ever illustrated online magazine for women over 40, joins us to share how she is empowering midlife women to be more confident and be themselves!

Crunchy Tales is an illustrated online magazine meant to encourage middle-aged women to speak up, step out of their comfort zone and embrace their age with a positive attitude!

If you think midlife is dull, think again! Get inspired to discover a new side of yourself and maybe forge a new path, as Michela shares how and why she founded Crunchy Tales and why your midlife is more fun than you thought!
