S2 E14: A Year in the Midlife

Pop the bubbly because The Midlife Rebrand is officially ONE YEAR OLD! 🥂✨ In this special milestone episode, we are looking back at our first 32 episodes and laughing (sometimes cringing) at how far we’ve come. From severe microphone anxiety, stiff scripts, and terrible lighting to accidental fashion disasters and completely butchering the pronunciation of "ChatGPT"—we’ve survived it all. Join us as we reminisce about: * The infamous “shat yourself” question and the nipple covers saga. 😂 * Our favorite nervous system reset tools and early guest breakthroughs. * That chaotic, hilarious travel episode recorded in beautiful BC back in July 2025. * The art of the "scrap"—why we threw out episodes that just didn't feel authentic. Most importantly, we’re talking about our growing confidence in midlife and our ultimate mission: making sure no midlife woman ever feels alone. What’s next? We’re teasing our upcoming live event (targeted for October 2026!), a gorgeous October retreat packed with travel content, and the return of our fan-favorite “buzz questions.” 🐝 ⚠️ Friendly reminder: We are here for support, laughs, and storytelling, but we are not doctors!

S2 E13: Would you trade your problems?

The hosts kick off this episode with a behind-the-scenes look at filming social content for a major five-year business milestone—and the inevitable self-criticism that comes with being on camera. From a birthday dinner surrounded by fiercely independent, selective women to closing down a bar after cheering on a nervous local fashion show model named Carol, this episode is packed with real-life moments. Later, they dive into the big questions: * The Problem Bowl: Would you trade your life's problems for someone else's? (A conversation on validating your own struggles while keeping perspective). * The "Bungee" Metaphor: Reacting to a viral bridge incident in Brazil, the hosts unpack what it feels like when women are expected to take leaps of faith without a safety net—and celebrate the friends who actually show up for us. Plus, a quick review of Netflix’s Crash, a raw chat on parenting accountability, and the reality of choosing to live as "roommates" in a marriage.

S2E12: The Good Girl Collapse

Ever reached the point in midlife where you just want to burn your underwire bras, walk into the woods, and scream? Same. This week, we’re stripping down to our comfiest loungewear (shoutout to Knix and Amazon minimizers!) and getting real about midlife sensory overload. We dive into a hilarious (and slightly damp) story about a psychic’s grounding advice, a trek to Cochrane’s "grandfather tree," and why a sudden runner caused a literal bladder betrayal. Plus, we look at our amazing international listener stats (hello, Vietnam and Argentina!) before tackling our main topic: The Good Girl Collapse. We connect the dots between midlife burnout, ADHD, perimenopause, and childhood trauma. Why are we finally stopping the lifelong masking? How do we set boundaries and name our feelings? And how can we teach our kids that while all feelings are valid, not all behaviors are acceptable? Grab your sweatpants and tune in!

S2E11: Random Ramblings of Jenn and Shea

Ever feel like your midlife rebrand is a chaotic mix of spiritual awakenings and sudden bloating? This week, we’re catching up on travel exhaustion, grounding routines, and a spontaneous psychic reading that literally saved a life (yes, parasites were involved!). We also get real about the less-glamorous sides of midlife: body changes, bloating, and the anxiety of working out in public—all while keeping up with jujitsu. Plus, we dive into the rollercoaster of parenting teens, co-parenting an 18th birthday, dealing with empty-nest feelings, and deciding if it’s finally time to succumb to pickleball. Grab a cup of tea (and maybe some cedarwood oil) and join us—you are definitely not alone in this!

S2 E10: "NEON" Brain

Welcome back to the couch! This week, we’re getting personal for Mental Health Month. We’re talking about the transition from being over-medicated to finding clarity, the struggle of navigating a "neurospicy" brain in an increasingly "cray cray" world, and why we’ve taken up combat sports to keep our sanity. Plus, we share our travel stories, from the sketchy streets of Corpus Christi to the upcoming sun-drenched vibes of Mazatlán. If you've ever felt like your brain is a "neon sign" of overthinking, this one is for you.
