Women in the Middle®: Loving Life After 50 - Midlife Coach Podcast

Over five years ago, I introduced a concept that has been at the heart of the Women in the Middle show ever since: being the Queen of Your Brain Domain. For women over 50 who want to stop living on autopilot and start living with more intention, that original episode was about learning to watch your thoughts, think on purpose, and take responsibility for your feelings and results. That foundation still holds.
My understanding of what it really means to lead your life has grown and this episode is the upgrade. Building on the conversations from earlier episodes, Episode 461 takes the concept somewhere deeper. We're talking about shifting from managing your thoughts to actually experiencing your life while you're living it.
With real, personal stories about a garden snake, tap-dancing tapioca, a pair of new sneakers, and a quiet morning with my dog, I bring the framework to life in a way that is warm, honest, and genuinely moving.

Midlife transitions can be challenging. Have you ever felt like your life looks fine… but something feels off?
If so, you're not alone.
In this episode, we're talking about what a midlife transition after 50 really is and why it often shows up in subtle, confusing ways.
For many women, this stage isn't about a dramatic crisis. It's about a quiet shift in awareness. You start noticing how you feel, how you're spending your time, and what you may want next.
If you've been feeling restless, disconnected, or unsure about your next chapter, this episode will help you understand what's going on and what to do about it.
