Welcome to the very first episode of Found at 40 — the podcast for women navigating midlife transitions, identity shifts, and the question we’re all asking: What’s next?

In this kickoff convo, host Chrissi (married at 20, three kids, now asking big life questions) is joined by her older sister Sarah (divorced at 40, roller derby queen, in the middle of a major life transition) to talk about what it really feels like to hit your 40s and realize… you’re ready to pivot.

Whether you’ve been a stay-at-home mom, a career woman, or some hybrid of both, this episode explores the messy, funny, and very real experience of rediscovering yourself in midlife.
