Your Magical Midlife

Season 2 opens with the question: Are you ready for massive expansion ? Sometimes life shakes you sideways and you realize: it's time to grow. It's times to step into yourself. It's time to stop hiding, to stop playing safe, to stop playing small. It's go elfin time. The experience of going to perhaps, the most life altering retreat/conference/summit/gathering for women 50+ changed my mind about what's possible for me at this stage of my life-and made me realize that my goal is to create a life so big, so delicious and so massive that I never need to "work". That I had uncovered my life's work. Then I came home only to be rocked in a different way. By loss. The contrast of these 2 events back to back is the best way I can think of to open my second season. Thanks as always for listening.

Midlife is a time of re-assessment and re-evaluation. You've lived a good portion of your adult life, you've had your ups and your downs. But what's next ? Do you ever feel that you are standing in the crossroads, waiting for the sign that will tell you which direction to head in ? You are not alone. 

This is the last episode of season 1 of the pod-but fear not-I have lined up some amazing women 40+ who are living midlives filled with adventure, radical changes, major up levels and knowledge to share. 

I will be back on Thursday May 23rd with season 2. 

In the meantime, check out episodes 1-25, and email me your thoughts. 

Thanks so much for being on this adventure with me. 🩷

The onset of dementia can be subtle and happen over time. What you've been writing off and mom or dad's "senior moment" could be normal aging or it could be cause for concern. This week, we got an official diagnosis. It's heartbreaking. Have you faced something similar with your parent ? Shoot me a DM on Instagram or email me. As midlifers, we are all in this together. 

Just one more episode left of season one. I will be taking a hiatus and returning on May 23rd with new episodes including amazing interviews with some bad ass women in their 40s, 50s and beyond. 

I am so excited to introduce you to my amazing friends.

If you live, it is inevitable that you will fail. And at times, fail hard. It's okay to try things and be bad at them. Don't let perfectionism get in the way of an adventure. Who knows ? You might just have fun. 

Reminder: there are just 3 episodes left of YMM the podcast before I take a 6 week hiatus to record new episodes which will include interviews with some of the coolest midlife woman I know. Women who are living their adventures-I cannot wait to introduce them to you.

Season 2 drops May 27 2024. 

In the meantime, catch up on all previous episodes and email me your favorite takeaways.

The way that we present ourselves in the world affects the way we feel. Many women in midlife struggle with dressing their body as it changes or their identity as it's shifted. I think there is so much magic in putting on clothes that we feel good in.  The energy we put out into the world when we feel good is distinctly different. What would it be like to present ourselves with joy every day ? Shoot me a picture of yourself feeling fly at: [email protected] I would love to see you projecting your own brand of beauty into the world.

I'm releasing this on 2/29-Leap Day ! It begs the question-what is your relationship to taking big risks. Are you safety minded ? Avoid coloring out of the lines ? Safe (possibly stuck ?) in a pattern ? Stuck at work ? Stuck in your marriage ? Stuck in general ? Maybe 2024 is the year you place all the bets on yourself and your own abilities. Listen in and lets talk about it

Menopause gets so much negative press. If it's spoken about AT ALL. Thankfully, Gen X is changing that. In my late 30s and early 40s-I had so little information about what to expect when I would no longer even be eligible to be expecting. Not even from my tried and true Our Bodies Ourselves. Certainly not from my mother. Not even really from my doctor. Can we change the conversation around the CHANGE ? Can we shift with the times, as our bodies shift too ? Tune in for the conversation

I thought I was in total self acceptance about my aging face and body. But, seeing a photo of me next to a much younger friend gave me a reality check about how time, experiences and health concerns have left their mark on me. It's so WEIRD to age-and we don't talk about that nearly enough. Can you learn to love your grays, your crows feet or your newly crepey hands ?

Have you bought into hustle culture ? Do you have to hit the wall and burn yourself entirely out before you allow yourself a day on the couch ? Do the words "adrenal fatigue" sound vague familiar ? On this episode I'm exploring my own relationship to overworking and overdoing-I hope it helps you re-evaluate your relationship with rest.
