Episode 25:  Midlife on the Move 

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

We’re packing our bags, grabbing our favorite books - and the readers we always forget - and taking a trip. From long-dreamed-of bucket-list adventures to the practical do’s and don’ts we’ve learned the hard way, we talk about what it means to explore the world (or just a new Costco) in this season of life.

We look back at the way we traveled as kids — road trips with zero Wi-Fi —  and compare it with the way we travel now, where comfort, planning, and a reliable bathroom situation are absolute non-negotiables.

Whether you’re dreaming of a big adventure or just want a laugh about the realities of travel, this conversation reminds you that exploring — near or far — is still full of wonder, mishaps, and plenty of relatable magic.

Episode 24:  Season's Feelings 

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

If midlife had a holiday soundtrack, it would probably be a mix of festive jingles and someone muttering “I’m too old for this.” This episode explores the chaos of Black Friday, the emotional rollercoaster of holiday prep, and the reality of managing it all while your hormones stage a seasonal uprising. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the solidarity.

Episode 23:  Gather, Grumble, Repeat 

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

In this episode, we discuss the beauty and madness of holiday traditions—midlife style. Bring on the ibuprofen, fewer breakable ornaments, and a strict “no one talks to me until I’ve had coffee” policy. We unpack the rituals we grew up with and the new traditions we’re trying to invent now that the kids are older, our patience is thinner, and our hormone levels fluctuating like the broken lights on the tree.

It’s festive. It’s honest. It’s slightly chaotic. It’s the permission slip you need to celebrate the holidays like a woman who has finally realized she doesn’t have to host, bake, decorate, or sparkle unless she wants to.

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

How will their faith evolve? What does it mean to trust both the foundation we’ve helped lay and the path they must take for themselves?

Join us for a conversation filled with honesty, humility, and quiet encouragement.
