In this episode of the Midlife Mafia “Throwback Nostalgia” we dive into a conversation where we relive our experiences growing up as a kid in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s and how it has shaped the grown ups we are today. We take a walk down memory lane and share our core memories that we know you can relate to as well. In this episode we cover: Fashion trends of our times Favorite Games and forms of Entertainment Life before cellphones Menopause Minute: Did people use hormone therapy in the 80’s?

In this episode of Midlife Mafia “Confident, Sore, and Still Social,” we get honest about what it really feels like living in a midlife body that is changing biologically, physically, and mentally. From hormone shifts to emotional eating, confidence struggles to redefining what sexy even means, this conversation is raw, real, and deeply relatable.

We talk about how hormones might be the easiest part to manage, but the emotional side, body image, and mental health are the real challenges. We open up about weight gain, depression, friendship, intimacy, and learning how to show up for ourselves with more grace and less pressure.

In this episode we cover:

• Why hormones are easier to manage than confidence and emotions

• Biological, physical, and mental changes in midlife

• Redefining Confidence

• Emotional eating and weight gain from depression

• Who we are really trying to impress in this stage of life

• Why intimacy can feel easier with less pressure and more clarity

• The importance of having friends who understand and support you

• Replacing feelings of loss with gratitude and letting go of what no longer matters

• Menopause Minute: how hormone changes affect confidence and connection

If you’ve ever felt confident one day and completely lost the next, sore in a body you don’t recognize, but still wanting to live, love, laugh, and go out with your people, this episode is for you.

n this episode of Midlife Mafia, we go back in time to Growing Up in Brooklyn, the Bensonhurst edition. Kristy and Marietta share what it was really like growing up just blocks apart in a neighborhood where everyone knew your name, kids played outside all day, and your parents always knew where you were.

We talk about how different it feels now, from safety and street life to how kids grow up today, and why we still miss the old Brooklyn community vibe. Plus, we get into all the Bensonhurst staples, the food spots we grew up on, the feasts we waited for every year, and the places that made the neighborhood feel like home.

Join us in this episode where we cover:

• Hanging out on corners and why it felt normal back then

• How safety has changed and why fights felt different growing up

• Playing outside all day with no phones, just kickball, manhunt, and stoop life

• The Bensonhurst culture shift and how the neighborhood has evolved

• Brooklyn food favorites, bagels, pizza debates, and non Italian staples

• The 18th Avenue feast, block parties, and old school traditions

• Why we wish our kids could experience the Brooklyn we grew up in

She thought she was losing her mind. Crying spells, sleepless nights, mood swings, body pain... but no one ever said, “This is perimenopause.”

.

In this episode, we sit down with our soul sister Maria, who opens up about her personal hell navigating perimenopause — the decade-long hormonal chaos no one prepares you for. From hot flashes and brain fog to rage, frozen shoulders, and “Why am I crying over a dog?” moments… this is the midlife conversation every woman needs to hear.

.

We get real about:

• What perimenopause actually feels like

• How women are still being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and ignored

• Why so many of us think we’re just overwhelmed or “going crazy”

• The emotional toll it takes on work, relationships, and identity

• What helped Maria finally turn a corner — and what didn’t

.

This is the episode we all wish we heard before it started.

You're not broken. You're not alone. You're just in it.
