My personal mentor Elsie Escobar on podcasting and why the medium is so important for women over 40. Let's talk about mentorship and why it's so important for women over 40 to work with a mentor. If you're like millions of women in midlife, you think you're supposed to be able to do it all alone -- raise kids, eat healthy, work out, balance a full time job... we put so much pressure on ourselves to be able to live, learn and grow without ever reaching out to someone who can help us get there.

Why You Need a Midlife Mentor with Elsie Escobar

The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide is a podcast for smart, capable women who are ready to stop getting stuck in the details and start handling life with more ease. Host Jackie MacDougall helps you master the life skills no one ever taught you—from taking care of your home to setting boundaries to feeling your best.
Jackie brings practical resources, honest conversations, and the kind of support that makes you feel capable instead of exhausted. She says what you're thinking but won't say out loud, shares what actually works, and helps you figure out what deserves your energy and what doesn't. Every episode is designed to help you feel more prepared, more confident, and more in control.
No pressure. No perfection. Just someone in your corner—part cheerleader, part instigator, always honest—helping you build a life that feels aligned, joyful, and actually yours.

I'm your host, Jackie MacDougall, CEO of Grown-Ass Creative, and a woman over 50. My mission is to have conversations that help us all create more connected relationships with our partners, family and friends, learn how to feel better in our bodies, build more confidence and become an even better version of ourselves -- because we are more than worth it. Let's do it together.
