About this listen

Menopause, divorce, and dating don’t always take turns. They hit all at once. Angela Burk explains how surviving all three can become a midlife turning point you didn’t see coming.

Angela Burk, author of REAL GIRLS GUIDE TO MIDLIFE, has lived straight through the midlife trifecta and has the hard-earned perspective to prove it. This is an honest, funny, deeply validating conversation for women who feel like their bodies, relationships, and identities are all shifting at the same time.

We talk about what no one warned us about, including why menopause doesn’t magically end after 12 months, how divorce can become an unexpected catalyst for clarity, and what it really takes to date again after a long hiatus (without forcing yourself before you’re ready).

If you’re in midlife and quietly wondering:

Why does my body feel unfamiliar all of a sudden?

When did I start editing myself so much?

Is it too late to want something different?

This episode will help you:

•Make sense of the unexpected twists of menopause

•Recognize the subtle ways you may be shrinking or people-pleasing

•Let go of the idea that there’s a “right” timeline for marriage, divorce, or dating

•Start building a life and relationships that actually fit who you are now

This is big-sister wisdom you’ll want to hear before the next wave hits.

🎧 Listen now and then help a midlife sister out by leaving a 5-star rating and written review. Every review helps me bring more honest, badass conversations like this one to the show.
