Middle-Aged Woman

Society EN ↓ 5 episodes

Middle-Aged Woman is a personal and honest exploration of what it really means to live in the middle years of a woman’s life; my life, to be exact. This is a candid conversation, sometimes with myself, sometimes with others, challenging the ideas of what a middle-aged woman should be. Middle-Aged Woman is about realizing that this stage of life isn’t a closing chapter, but a powerful moment of reinvention, self-knowledge, and becoming more fully yourself than ever before. New episodes drop twice a month; on the 2nd and 4th Monday. There might be some swearing.

I’ve been thinking about this podcast for over five years… and I’m finally hitting the record button at 49.
