The Messy Middle

I had a baby at 47… and I didn’t tell anyone I was trying.

Not even my best friend.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to become a mom later in life, beyond the surface-level conversations.

Because it’s not just about age.

It’s about identity, timing, and the parts people don’t always say out loud.

From not getting pregnant naturally, to the emotional weight of making that decision, to realizing your life may not look the way you thought it would… this is the honest, unfiltered version.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living in between stages, not quite fitting where you “should” be, this episode is for you.

Next episode: I’m diving deeper into what happens after the decision, and where things start to get complicated.

Apparently women over 50 are entering their “I don’t care era.”

The problem? I still care… about what I say, how awkward I am in conversations, and whether my sourdough starter is going to survive the week.

In this first episode I talk about midlife expectations, the women online who seem to have everything figured out, and why I think I might actually be in my “experiment era” instead.
