The Gently Used Human with Dr. Scott Lyons

The Reinvention Era with Tamsen Fadal


Listen Later

Ever felt like you should have it all figured out by now? Like life handed you a script you didn’t exactly sign up for? Well, Tamsen Fadal is here to throw that script out the window.

An Emmy-winning journalist, author, and advocate for midlife reinvention, Tamsen has built a career on telling powerful stories—and now, she’s telling her own. From walking away from a decades-long journalism career to becoming a voice for midlife women, she’s proving that there is no expiration date on reinvention.

Together, Tamsen and Dr. Scott dive into: why milestones don’t define us, the radical shift that happens when we stop asking ‘why me?’ and start saying ‘what’s next?’—and how menopause, career changes, and unexpected pivots are all part of the bigger picture.

Topics We Break Down:
  • Midlife Myths & Why We’re Doing This All Wrong – Forget ‘aging gracefully’—let’s talk about thriving on our own terms.
  • The ‘Now What?’ Moment – Why so many of us hit a point where we question everything—and how to navigate it.
  • Reinvention is a Muscle – Why starting over isn’t a setback—it’s a superpower.
  • The Unspoken Power of Menopause – Breaking the silence around midlife health and why it’s finally getting the attention it deserves.
  • The ‘I Get To’ Mindset – Shifting from obligation to opportunity in work, health, and relationships.

✨ This episode is a love letter to second (and third, and fourth) chances. Tune in and get inspired!
