The Second Half

I binge-listened to TSH while meal-prepping this weekend. It definitely kept me entertained. The stories are real, honest and reminded me that we’re all normal with our own struggles and successes in life. I laughed, cried and learned about being a better person. Thanks, Rebecca for sharing these stories with your listeners. I’m looking forward to more episodes.

I love how Rebecca uses storytelling as a means of sharing life experiences AND helping people feel connected to each other. So often interviews feel like a peek into someone else’s life. I do enjoy those, but this podcast seems to weave common threads that we can follow and even use to find facets to ourselves we didn’t know were there. So much about this “middle” age is about self discovery, and what better way to find something new than to see yourself through the lens of another person’s story.

At a time where most of the world makes it appear they are very connected with each other through social media, many are actually very disconnected and alone. What a gift to have The Second Half, a Podcast that opens the door to a safe and loving environment where stories can be shared and judgement and pretense is left outside. I love these stories and value their honestly. Their healing qualities are real and valuable.

I am really enjoying the discussions about how people persevered through tragedy. Rebecca asks difficult questions (there are many “I can’t believe she asked that!” moments). The discussions leave you in awe of how resilient we all are and how we can help people in need. Also, as a woman “of a certain age” the discussions about menopause are interesting and informative and fill a huge void. I’ve learned a lot and am looking forward to more!!
