There’s a moment many women in midlife recognize, when the reflection in the mirror feels slightly unfamiliar, when the pace of life feels impossible, and when joy feels like something that belongs to another version of you!

Between shifting hormones, growing kids, aging parents, and endless to-do lists, even the most put-together woman can start to feel stretched thin and unseen. In this episode of The Skin Real Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Moon, anesthesiologist, mom, entrepreneur, and author of Joy Prescriptions, to talk about what it really takes to find yourself again when life feels like too much.

Dr. Moon opens up about the “midlife lull” so many women face, the collision of career, caregiving, and perimenopause, and how she’s learned to reclaim joy and authenticity in the process. From being labeled “unprofessional” for dancing on social media to hosting her own women’s leadership summit, Dr. Moon reminds us that joy isn’t something we earn after success; it’s something we choose every day, even in chaos. Together, she and Dr. Mina share a refreshingly honest and affirming conversation about aging, self-image, and letting go of the pressure to be everything to everyone.

Key Takeaways:

✓ Midlife isn’t a crisis, it’s a turning point.

✓ The joy you’re looking for is already within reach.

✓ Perimenopause changes more than your skin. It shifts how you see yourself.

✓ Boundaries protect your peace and your purpose.

✓ Confidence grows when you stop performing and start being real.

✓ Your personal brand is your story, not your status.

✓ Letting go of perfection makes space for peace.

If you’ve been feeling off balance or worn thin, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone and that you don’t need to have it all figured out to feel like yourself again.
