🎙️ Episode Summary

What even is midlife?

Is it a number? A demographic? A hormone crash? A slow fade into irrelevance? (Hard no on that last one.) In this episode, we’re digging into the truth about what midlife really is—and spoiler: it’s not what you’ve been told.

Laurie breaks down:

  • Why midlife technically starts in your late 30s (yep, really!)
  • Why it’s more about mindset than math
  • And how midlife can actually be your most powerful season—if you’re brave enough to claim it.

You’ll also hear:

  • A jaw-dropping Brené Brown quote that will stay with you for years
  • Why the stereotypes about midlife women are total garbage
  • Why the “someday” strategy is keeping you stuck
  • And how to start making midlife your best life, not your “less than” life.

This episode isn’t just about defining midlife. It’s about redefining yourself.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why midlife can start as early as 39—and last for decades
  • The key internal questions that mark the start of midlife (not your age)
  • How society’s stereotypes have robbed women of midlife power
  • Why midlife is the start of something, not the end
  • Three critical questions to ask if you’re ready to stop tolerating your life and start transforming it

Journal Prompts From This Episode

  • What do you think about the term “midlife”?
  • Do you believe you’re in midlife? Why or why not?
  • How do you feel about that?

Because how you experience midlife starts with what you believe about it.
