If you’re a midlife woman who’s ever been told to “cut your hair,” “dress your age,” “stop listening to that music,” or “maybe let your gray grow in”… this episode is going to hit home.

This week, Julee and Michele are diving into the wild world of unsolicited advice in midlife—why people dish it out, why it stings more when it comes from family, and how you can reclaim your power with grace, boundaries, confidence… and a whole lot of humor.

From backhanded compliments to “helpful” suggestions about your clothes, your parenting, your hair, your mood swings, and even your uterus (yes, really), we’re breaking down exactly how to respond—without shrinking, snapping, or sacrificing your sanity.

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod aggressively, and you’ll walk away with practical comebacks, mindset shifts, and empowering tools to help you navigate all the midlife commentary you never asked for.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• The REAL reason people feel so comfortable offering advice you didn’t ask for
• How to deflect politely when you want to keep the peace
• What boundary-setting looks like with friends, coworkers, and (ahem)… family
• How unsolicited opinions often say more about them than you
• Using humor as your secret weapon
• Midlife confidence: finding your voice and using it unapologetically
• The reminder every midlife woman needs to hear: You don’t have to justify your choices

What actually makes a woman “midlife”? Is it a number… or is it something deeper? In this week’s totally ad-libbed, no-notes conversation, Jules and Michele get real about the midlife mindset, why age has nothing to do with it, and why so many women feel boxed in by outdated definitions of what midlife “should” look like.

From hot flashes to empty nests, from divorce to rediscovery, from career shifts to perimenopause, the hosts break down how life experiences — not birthdays — shape who we become in our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. They also dig into the pressure women have felt for decades to perform, perfect, and pretend everything is fine… and how today’s midlife woman is rewriting the rules in community with other spicy, strong, scrappy women.

Whether you’re 36 or 66, if you feel midlife, live midlife, or are stepping into a new era of your identity, this episode will give you perspective, a few laughs, and a reminder that midlife is a mindset — not a number.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why midlife isn’t about your age — it’s about your life experiences
• What younger generations get wrong about “midlife women”
• How Gen X and older Millennials survived their 30s and 40s without the internet, community, or support
• Why menopause and perimenopause aren’t the only indicators of midlife
• The hidden emotional load women carried while putting on a “fake smile”
• How divorce, career shifts, raising kids, or becoming an empty nester shape the midlife identity
• Why community matters more than ever for modern midlife women
• The rise of spicy, confident, empowered midlife energy on platforms like TikTok
• The importance of stepping out of the boxes society puts us in
• What it really means to reclaim your power in this season of life

Tune in to feel seen, supported, and spicy — no matter your age.
