At 60, Anne Abel booked eight Bruce Springsteen concerts across Australia and got on a plane alone — after decades of severe recurrent depression, three rounds of electroconvulsive therapy, and a childhood spent trying to earn a narcissistic mother's love. She didn't go for fun. She'd never really had fun. She went because a rock concert was the only structure she could find to stay out of what…
When we're facing uncertainty, most of us have a version of 'safe' we go back to. The job. The title. The comfortable path that makes sense to everyone else. In this episode, Colleen Porter shares her reinvention story — after a transition that ended a decades-long career in male-dominated industries, she tried to go back to what she knew. That's when everything changed. It was the confirmation…
This week on the podcast I’m chatting with Jodi Echakowitz, who in her 50s underwent an incredible physical fitness transformation — going from feeling exhausted and disconnected from her body to fitness competitions and photo shoots. But the most powerful part of Jodi’s journey isn’t what we see on Instagram — the gym time or the nutrition posts. It’s the quiet, behind-the-scenes work that…
In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau who, as the former wife of the Prime Minister of Canada, has navigated her own very public midlife reinvention. This is a conversation about what happens after the life you thought you were living no longer fits.

Together, we unpack: How generations of…
I think at some point all of us have fantasized about what it would be like to leave everything and start over with a clean slate. I know I have. But not many of us actually do it. Let me introduce you to Jacqueline Das who at the age of 54 realized that her life no longer felt like hers. There was so much more that she wanted to do and experience so she made a bold midlife pivot to leave…
The word WISDOM is used so often when we talk about this midlife chapter. Bit what is wisdom? Do we all have it? Can we learn it? And how does it impact our lives? In this episode, I sit down with Common Wisdom author and ER physician-turned-researcher Dr. Laura Gabayan for a soulful deep dive into what wisdom really is — and why it might just be our greatest superpower in midlife. We unpack the…
Pretty much every woman I know struggles with her own version of enoughness - pretty enough, smart enough, good enough, nice enough, thin enough. Myself included. It’s not a coincidence that so many women feel this way - new live in a whorl that profits from it. We’ve been conditioned that way for centuries. Were influenced by it every day in no many ways. In this episode I sit down with Barbara…
This week I've got a solo episode for you. I was feeling FIRED UP when I hit record on his one, and honestly? I’m not sorry about it. I’m so tired of the narrative that menopause is something to dread, avoid, or quietly endure. It’s time we flip the script entirely. In this episode, I dive headfirst into why society has got it completely wrong about menopause. I’m calling out the toxic messaging…

We talk about the messy middle of midlife—the changes, the cultural conditioning, and the quiet…
