The Mid Podcast

Remember when we couldn't wait to grow up, move out, and never look back? Apparently things have changed. 😂 This week on The Mid , we're talking about one of the trickiest parts of midlife: parenting adult children .

Fall is here, and apparently we have some feelings about it. This week, we’re talking about the changing seasons — why fall makes us ridiculously happy, why summer has somehow become our least favourite, and whether we could ever actually live somewhere that doesn’t have four seasons.

WE’RE BACK! Season 3 of The Mid is officially here — and we’re starting with a story that feels pretty damn perfect for where we are right now.

Not just because of the books, but because of the woman behind it. So naturally… we went back and asked her a lot of...

Would you want your friends to tell you the brutal truth... no matter what? 😳 This week on The Mid, we're diving into the idea of rigorous honesty —what it is, why some people swear by it, and why, after discussing it, we're leaning toward a pretty firm hard no . We talk about questions like: - Can honesty go too far? - Is there a difference between being truthful and being hurtful? - Do...

Aging is a privilege... so why are we all trying so hard not to look like we're doing it? 👀 This week on The Mid , we're talking about aging—and all the complicated feelings that come with it.

We'rree Baaackk! And this week Teresa and Wendy sit down for a very real conversation about Depression at the Mid-Point .

That voice in your head… is it helping you—or tearing you down? 👀 This week on The Mid , we’re talking about the way we speak to ourselves… and wow, it’s not always kind. You know the voice: “You’re not good enough.”“Why did you do that?”“You always mess this up.” We don’t even question it half the time—we just accept it like it’s a fact. In this episode, The Stories We Tell Ourselves , we dig in...
