Your Magical Midlife

Jane Boon is an adventurer at heart and a technologist by training. She is fascinated by how things work and why things happen. Jane studied manufacturing systems engineering at Kettering University before earning a master’s degree in technology and policy at the MIT. She spent years in the corporate trenches before returning to school for a Ph.D. in industrial engineering. More recently, Jane got interested in the phenomenon of “big data,” completing a master’s degree in statistics at Fordham University where she graduated with honors, at the top of her class. 

Curiosity and openness to experience are central to Jane’s wiring. She began flying gliders at 13 and on her 17th birthday, she became the youngest licensed pilot in her native Canada. She’s trekked in Nepal, Bhutan and Venezuela. And under the guise of “research” for EDGE PLAY, she attended fetish events from Vancouver to Paris, as she sought to bolster the knowledge she’d gained years ago, observing and assisting a girlfriend who was a top-tier dominatrix.

Jane has written for publications like The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, Time.com, McSweeneys.net, and TravelandLeisure.com.

She is the author of two erotic novels Bold Strokes and Edge Play you can explore both here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B088GQJG7H/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=b3ccb72a-ee99-436f-a4be-08a1f7735a3e&ref_=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1

Staci Berkowitz is the author of the recently released memoir, Naked at 50. The year she turned 50, Staci made a bold decision: to say YES to 50 new experiences. From wild, exhilarating adventures to transformative moments, her year of discovery will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear.
But this isn't just Staci's story-it's an invitation for you to kick fear to the curb and start living with more joy, passion, and purpose. With humor, heart, and a little bit of sass, Naked at 50 will show you that midlife isn't the end of the road-it's the beginning of your boldest chapter yet.

Amy Gabrielle, aka The Manhattan Milf, made the unexpected choice to start an online erotica page after the devastating loss of her husband to cancer. Rather than resign herself to a long and lonely life of widowhood in her early 50s, she channeled her grief into self expression and self exploration. This episode is about survival and self determination-and sometimes taking the road less traveled to get there.

My dad died. I was not expecting him to. At least not last week. Sitting with him for the last 2 weeks of his life was an intense, sad, spiritual experience which made me to reflect on my own life and how I want to live it.

In honor of October 18th which is World Menopause Day, I am so thrilled to have Dr Fiona Lovely as a guest. She is the host of the OG midlife podcast: Not Your Mother's Menopause. She is a functional medicine doctor who specializes in endocrinology and neurology. She is a powerhouse and an advocate for women  to feel their best through perimenopause and beyond. We had so much fun discussing mourning our youthful vaginas, HRT myths and living in cycle with the moon.
