    The Midlife Declutter Challenge

    Send us a text Season 2, Episode 1:  The Midlife Declutter Challenge Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane Is it really clutter or have we just been too tired to deal with it? In this episode, we tackle the piles, the drawers, and the doom closets that seem to multiply in midlife. We identify the spaces that cause the most frustration and challenge ourselves to create a calmer, more peaceful environment. Sometimes peace isn’t a spa day—it’s an empty kitchen counter.  Visit us on Instagram @pausepleas3 and drop us a note.  Happy to hear from you!   Subscribe, share, and take a deep breath — you’re not alone.

    De-cember De-clutter

    Send us a text Episode 27:  De-cember De-clutter   Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane We’re taking on the world of decluttering—the sport no one asked to compete in. We tackle the overflowing junk drawers, the “skinny jeans of delusion,” and the forgotten gadgets that promised to change our lives. With plenty of laughs and a sprinkle of shame, we talk about the midlife urge to purge, the chaos of trying to get organized, and why the act of cleaning out a closet feels suspiciously like therapy.  Subscribe, share, and take a deep breath — you’re not alone.

    An Edited Guide to Marriage - Menopause Edition

    Send us a text Episode 26:  An Edited Guide to Marriage - Menopause Edition    Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane Oh, the beautifully complicated evolution of our relationships with our husbands. From shifting hormones to shifting priorities, we explore how marriage stretches, settles, surprises, and sometimes downright confuses us in midlife. We talk about renegotiating roles, rediscovering intimacy, laughing at the quirks we’ve grown accustomed to and finding connection in the everyday moments that aren’t so mundane after all. It’s a conversation about partnership, patience, and the quiet ways long-term love adapts as we do. Whether your marriage feels like a well-worn sweater, a work in progress, or something in between, this episode offers companionship and real-talk.

    Midlife on the Move

    Send us a text Episode 25:  Midlife on the Move  Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane We’re packing our bags, grabbing our favorite books - and the readers we always forget - and taking a trip. From long-dreamed-of bucket-list adventures to the practical do’s and don’ts we’ve learned the hard way, we talk about what it means to explore the world (or just a new Costco) in this season of life. We look back at the way we traveled as kids — road trips with zero Wi-Fi —  and compare it with the way we travel now, where comfort, planning, and a reliable bathroom situation are absolute non-negotiables. Whether you’re dreaming of a big adventure or just want a laugh about the realities of travel, this conversation reminds you that exploring — near or far — is still full of wonder, mishaps, and plenty of relatable magic. Subscribe, share, and take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.

    Season's Feelings

    Send us a text Episode 24:  Season's Feelings  Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane If midlife had a holiday soundtrack, it would probably be a mix of festive jingles and someone muttering “I’m too old for this.” This episode explores the chaos of Black Friday, the emotional rollercoaster of holiday prep, and the reality of managing it all while your hormones stage a seasonal uprising. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the solidarity.  Subscribe, share, and take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.

    Gather, Grumble, Repeat

    Send us a text Episode 23:  Gather, Grumble, Repeat  Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane In this episode, we discuss the beauty and madness of holiday traditions—midlife style. Bring on the ibuprofen, fewer breakable ornaments, and a strict “no one talks to me until I’ve had coffee” policy. We unpack the rituals we grew up with and the new traditions we’re trying to invent now that the kids are older, our patience is thinner, and our hormone levels fluctuating like the broken lights on the tree. It’s festive. It’s honest. It’s slightly chaotic. It’s the permission slip you need to celebrate the holidays like a woman who has finally realized she doesn’t have to host, bake, decorate, or sparkle unless she wants to. Subscribe, share, and take a deep breath — you’re not alone. Let's pause together.
