Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, and the Mundane

With college-aged kids living away from home for the first time, parenting an emerging adult has its unique challenges. Facebook groups can be a wealth of information but are helicopter parents inundating the socials with questions that can easily be found elsewhere? Some concerns are truly worthy of posting while others are laughable. We're here for the comments and discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of parent Facebook groups.

Season 2, Episode 39:  How Fitting

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, and the Mundane

Sometimes wisdom arrives in unexpected places — like a dressing room, halfway through trying on your seventh bra.

In this episode, we talk bras, undies, and the surprisingly emotional business of finding something that actually fits. Midlife has a funny way of making you reconsider everything from your hormones to your waistband.

With plenty of laughs and a little oversharing, we find comfort that none of us is figuring this out on our own.

Take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.

Season 2, Episode 37:  Bored But Becoming

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, and the Mundane

Pull up a chair—we've got some things to talk about.

Midlife can be a time of reinvention and unexpected discovery.

In this episode, we explore setting personal challenges, creating new goals, and navigating the boredom of today. 

Growth doesn't always happen in big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it happens quietly at 1:10 on an unassuming Tuesday afternoon.

Take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.

Season 2, Episode 35: Take the Damn Vacation

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, and the Mundane

Sometimes a vacation isn’t about checking off a bucket-list destination or packing every minute with adventure. Sometimes, it’s simply about stepping away.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of using vacation time....period. Disconnect from work and recharge your batteries. Somewhere between hot flashes and the general chaos of midlife, we forget that rest is a necessity.

So grab your coffee, your suitcase—or maybe just your comfy clothes—and join us for a conversation about taking a break, finding your reset button, and embracing the beautiful, messy, mundane middle of life.

Take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.
