A conversation about representation led to a deeper truth: the erasure of Native women in our culture is connected to a real and ongoing crisis. This piece explores the link between invisibility, systemic failure, and the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Many women reach midlife and start questioning everything they were taught growing up. From shocking moments in women’s history to the ongoing reality of healthcare gaslighting, this episode explores why so many women wake up angry in midlife — and why that anger might actually be a wake-up call.

Thirty years after Mother Mother became an anthem, Tracy Bonham joins The Midlife Edit for a conversation about voice, anger, reinvention, and midlife power. We talk about being labeled “the angry woman” in the 90s, creative evolution, motherhood, advocacy, and why speaking up still matters. This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s reclamation.

One year after starting The Midlife Edit podcast, I realized midlife isn’t about fixing yourself - it’s about understanding who you’re becoming and living on purpose.

After years of giving, surviving, and showing up for everyone else, midlife often invites a quiet question: What do I want?
This reflection explores what it really means to come home to yourself - through rest, voice, and small, intentional shifts that don’t require burning your life down, just listening more closely to who you are now.

Midlife isn’t a crisis - it’s an edit. In this episode and post, we explore how to move forward without fear, trust yourself again, and take the next step even when clarity feels shaky.

Clarity doesn’t always come with confidence. Sometimes it comes with a pause - uncomfortable, uncertain, and full of second-guessing. This post is about what to do when you know what you want… but aren’t sure how to move yet.

Midlife has a way of asking a deceptively simple question: What do you actually want? In this post, we explore why that question feels so hard for women, how hustle culture trains us to adapt instead of ask, and how to start asking for what you want—without guilt or over-explaining.

You are not unhappy. You are just muted. In this post, I break down how women slowly turn the volume down on themselves, why midlife is often the moment we finally notice it, and how to start turning the volume back up without blowing your life up.

A visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame reminded me how deeply music shapes our stories. This is a reflection on breathing room, clarity, and the midlife reinvention waiting beneath the surface.

Movement isn’t just about workouts — it’s about moving toward purpose. This week, Jen shares how she’s redefining what movement means, both personally and through a new cause close to her heart: The Feed the People Tour, where 100% of profits go to Feeding America.

I’ve always called myself the queen of indecisiveness - from rebrands to color palettes to career pivots - but what if changing your mind isn’t a flaw? What if it’s actually a midlife superpower? In this week’s episode of The Midlife Edit, I share how I’ve learned to see my constant evolution not as confusion, but as growth.

One minute you’re sipping pumpkin spice, and the next, Christmas has exploded everywhere — and your to-do list right along with it. If you’re a midlife woman feeling drained, disconnected, or overwhelmed, this one’s for you. In this week’s post, I’m opening up about losing my rhythm in perimenopause, finding it again through music and mindfulness, and how I’m getting ahead of the holiday chaos with The Midlife Comeback: Pre-Holiday Reset.

I never expected to cry at a Bowling for Soup concert, but when Jaret Reddick sang “Turbulence,” something shifted. What started as a night of pop-punk nostalgia turned into one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever had about mental health, midlife, and the man behind the music.
