If midlife has you thinking, “Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?”—this episode is for you.

After 50 episodes of interviewing doctors, coaches, healers, and badass midlife women (plus sharing plenty of my own solo reflections), I’ve noticed the same themes rise to the surface again and again. Today, I’m pulling together the most important lessons from the first 50 episodes to help you feel less alone, more informed, and way more empowered in this chapter of life.

We cover:

✔️Why perimenopause feels so confusing and isolating

✔️The many ways women are managing symptoms (hormone therapy, Ayurvedic practices, pelvic floor PT, Reiki, microdosing, nutrition shifts, fitness, and more)

✔️The unbelievable strength and resilience midlife women show through illness, divorce, career upheaval, and identity shifts

✔️How reinvention becomes possible—sometimes even necessary—after 40

✔️Why “feeling like yourself again” is absolutely possible

I also share what’s coming to the podcast in 2026, including metabolism myths, planning an aligned year using your Enneagram type, midlife marriage support, puberty talks with your kids, and inspiring reinvention stories you won’t want to miss.
