    The Holiday Reset: You Can Love Your Family and Still Have Boundaries #75

    Welcome back to Men, Menopause & Miracles, the podcast where midlife women tune in each Monday to feel seen, heard, understood, and maybe have a few laughs along theway because, let's be honest, this season of life can be a lot. Around here, we talk about the real stuff happening in midlife, the identity shifts, the decisions, the relationships, the menopause moments, the “what the hell am I doing now?” moments, and all those little resets that help us come backto ourselves. I’m Suzanne, Your Midlife Wingwoman, and believe me, if there was ever a season when you needed a wingwoman, the holidays might be it. Because suddenly we're juggling family expectations, old roles, traditions, travel, opinions, obligations, and approximately 47 opportunities to say yes when what we really want to say is, “Actually, I’d rather not.” And sometimes you don't need another podcast episode, another book, or another person telling you what you should do. Sometimes you need someone in your corner who can help you sort through what you're feeling, get really honest about what you want, and figure out what comes next. So today, we're starting with a little holiday reset of our own. Because here's what I want you to know before we get into this episode: You can love your family and still have boundaries. You can care deeply about people and still choose yourself. And you can absolutely decide that some of the traditions you've been carrying for years don't need to come with you into this next chapter – your midlife chapter. So, let's talk about it. This is Episode 75: The Holiday Reset: You Can Love Your Family and Still Have Boundaries. Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart or YouTube. And if you're a woman standing at the threshold of a new chapter, realizing that some of the ways you've lived your life no longer fit who you're becoming, that's exactly the kind of conversation I love having with women. And let me help you or a woman you know  get used to doing just that by joining me this Thursday, November 5th at 5 PM Pacific / 8 PM Eastern for my Stop Second-Guessing Yourself: 5 Shifts to Finally Trust Your Next Decision session. It's a midlife coaching session for women who know there's more and are ready to trust themselves again. We're going to dig into the decisions you've been circling, set some little boundaries, delegate a few decisions, and rebuild that self-trust muscle in real-time. Because remember,  the goal isn't to stop caring about everyone you love. The goal is to stop disappearing inside the caring and making sureyou’re cared for too. Go to yourmidlifewingwoman.com to register today. It’s free and an hour of your time you will get back – just for you! And thank you to everyone who has been voting for me daily in the TOP HOST contest by Ryan Seacrest and iHeart Radio. We did it – you did it!  I made the Top 10 cut last week and continue to keep at 3rd place within my group. Amazing! This week I need your ongoing votes to make the Top 5 and move me up to 2nd place – cut off this Thursday. This week and next are really critical for me to move up to 1st place as next week is the Top 1 in each group – so if there is ever a time or a week to share this with your besties please do so. I’d love to be sitting across Ryan Seacrest in his studio talking about Men, Menopause & Miracles and midlife women conversations. If these conversations have made you laugh, think, feel seen, or maybe look at your own midlife a little differently, I'd love your vote. The link is in my bio, or you can go directly to: tophost.org/2026/suzanne-fazalare Because midlife isn't just about what we're leaving behind. It's about finally asking ourselves: What do I want now? Until next time, I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman. And remember: You don't need permission to make your life feel good. You just need to trust yourself enough to chooseit. Until next time. Bye for now! #menmenopauseandmiracles #yourmidlifewingwoman #boundaries #holidays #midlifewomen

    The Motherlode of Decisions: The Mental Load Nobody Counts #74

    Welcome back to Men, Menopause & Miracles, the podcast where we talk about the things women are thinking about, talking about with their girlfriends, and sometimeswondering, “Can we actually say that out loud?” This is where we get real about men, menopause, midlife, relationships, sex, identity, our changing bodies, and all the questions that come with becoming the woman we are now. You’ll get honest conversations, fresh perspectives, a little humor, and plenty of those “Wait, it's not just me?” moments, because midlife isn't just something we're going through. It's a time to rethink, reclaim, and reinvent what comes next. I’m Suzanne, Your Midlife Wingwoman, and I’m here to walk alongside you through the ups, downs, surprises, and WTF moments of menopause, midlife, and heck, being awoman. I’ve lived my own share of identity shifts, hard resets, and figuring out who I am now, and I bring that lived experience, curiosity, honesty, and zero-interest-in-pretending-everything-is-fine energy to these conversations. Think of me as the woman in your corner who will tell you the truth, ask the question you may not have thought to ask, make you laugh when you need it, and remind you that there is still so much life, possibility, and becoming ahead of you. So today – today is one I’ve been hinting at, hosting my free coaching circle on monthly and getting women to speak more openly about – making decisions. Because, before most menhave decided what to wear, a woman has already decided what everyone's eating, who's picking up the kids, whether Mom's prescription got refilled, and whether that weird mole needs a doctor. (Notice how none of those decisions were about her or you?) This is Episode 74: The Motherlode of Decisions: The Mental Load Nobody Counts.  Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart or YouTube. So, here's what I want you to take with you from this episode today. You are not imagining the load. You are not weak because you're tired of carrying it. And you are notnecessarily lacking confidence because you second-guess yourself. Because your next chapter doesn't need every ounce of your energy going toward keeping everybody else comfortable. It needs some of that energy back. You need some of that energy back.  And let me help you get used to doing just that by joining me next Thursday, November 5th at 5 PM Pacific / 8 PM Eastern for my Stop Second-Guessing Yourself: 5 Shifts toFinally Trust Your Next Decision session. It's a midlife coaching session for women who know there's more and are ready to trust themselves again. We're going to dig into the decisions you've been circling, what's actually keeping you stuck, delegate some of those decisions away, and start building that self-trust muscle in real-time. Because the goal isn't to stop caring about everyone you love. The goal is to stop disappearing inside the caring. Go to yourmidlifewingwoman.com to register today. It’s free and an hour of your time you will get back – just for you! And thank you to everyone who has been voting for me daily in the TOP HOST contest by Ryan Seacrest and iHeart Radio. We did it – you did it!  I made the Top 15 cut last week andcontinue to keep at 3rd place within my group. Amazing! This week I need your ongoing votes to make the Top 10 and move me up to 2nd place – cut off this Thursday. If these conversations have made you laugh, think, feel seen, or maybe look at your own midlife a little differently, I'd love your vote. The link is in my bio, or you can godirectly to: tophost.org/2026/suzanne-fazalare I'm Suzanne, your Midlife Wingwoman, and I'll see you next time on Men, Menopause & Miracles. Until then, remember: You don't need more time to decide. You need to trust what you already know. See you next time.

    The Good Girl Has Had Enough - What Happens When You Stop Living for Everyone Else? #72

    Welcome back to Men, Menopause & Miracles, the podcast where we talk about the real stuff happening in midlife: the identity shifts, the relationships, the body changes, the career questions, the unexpected plot twists, and all those moments when you look around and think, "Wait...is this really the life I want?"I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman. I'm here to have the conversations that make you stop, think, laugh, maybe squirm a little, and sometimes say, "Wait a minute...that's exactly what I've been feeling."Because midlife has a funny way of making the old rules feel a whole lot less convincing.The rules about who we're supposed to be.How we're supposed to look.How much we're supposed to give.How available we're supposed to be.How nice we're supposed to be.And especially for women, there can come a moment when being the woman who keeps everyone happy starts costing us something we can no longer ignore.Today we're talking about that woman.The good girl.The agreeable girl.The capable girl.The woman who can handle it.The woman who doesn't want to disappoint anybody.The woman who says, "It's fine," when it isn't.And maybe, just maybe, the woman who has finally had enough.This is Episode 72: The Good Girl Has Had Enough - What Happens When You Stop Living for Everyone Else?Let's get into it. Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart and YouTube.If this episode hit a nerve, I want you to remember this: You can be a good woman without being the good girl.You can love people without living for their approval.You can care deeply without abandoning yourself.And you are allowed to want what you want.Now, before I let you go, I have one very important ask this week.The Top Host Contest voting closes October 15th, which means we are officially in the final stretch. I'm currently in the running for this incredible opportunity, including $25,000, and I would absolutely love your vote.But here's the bigger ask: If you've been listening to Men, Menopause & Miracles, please don't just vote for me. Share the voting link with one friend. Send it to the woman who listens to podcasts.Send it to the friend who loves midlife conversations. Send it to someone who has ever said, "I need a sign."Because my audience may be small, but I believe this podcast deserves a much bigger microphone. So let's see what we can do in this final week by and before Thursday 10/15.The voting link is in my bio, and you can also find it at: tophost.org/2026/suzanne-fazalareVote. Share it. Send it to a friend. And let's see if we can move this thing all the way to the top. And of course, thank you for being here, for listening, for sharing these conversations with me and for coming along for this wild, wonderful midlife ride.I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman. And remember: You don't need more time to decide. You need to trust what you already know. I'll see you next week. Until then. Bye for now!#menmenopauseandmiracles #yourmidlifewingwoman #goodgirl #self-trust

    Episode 71: You Don’t Need More Time to Decide - You Need to Trust What You Already Know

    Welcome back to Men, Menopause & Miracles. The podcast where midlife gets real, reinvention gets exciting, and we discover that the woman you’re becoming in this season might just having her best chapter yet. I’m Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman, and today we’re talking about something I think so many capable women struggle with, especially in midlife: decision-making. And I’llgo one further that many capable women dismiss their struggle – they keep it quiet, hidden and many times let it go unnoticed. Almost pretending as if it isn’t there. This is Episode 71: You Don’t Need More Time to Decide - You Need to Trust What You Already Know.  And I’m not talking about the big, obvious decisions. I’m talking about the small decisions that somehow become a 47-tab research project in your brain. But the struggle IS real. I coach so many women who struggle with decisions like: Should I stay? Should I go? Should I take the job? Should I leave the job? Should I go to the gym? Not go to the gym?Should I say yes? Should I say no? Am I being selfish? Am I overreacting? What will they think? What if I make the wrong decision?What if I disappoint someone? What if I regret it?  All the tiny, teeny times that you choose not to make a decision - it’s a decision. Or, you decide to postpone it and make your decision later, you’ve still made another decision. What I’m really getting at, is all the distrust midlife women seem to have with just deciding – when it comes to themselves. Adding themselves as the or how about “a” main character in their life. Putting themselves at the top of their calendar, making time for what’s important to them, and so on. Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart and YouTube too. Now I'm inviting you to turn that same wisdom inward. Become curious about yourself. Listen to yourself. Believe yourself. And when you don't know, give yourself permission to not know. But when you do know? Don't abandon that knowing just because somebody else might not like it. You don't need more time to decide. You may simply need to trust what you already know. And please join me this Thursday 10/8 at 5pmPST / 8pmEST for my Stop Second-Guessing Yourself: 5 Shifts to Finally Trust Your Next Decision. It’s A Midlife Coaching Session for Women Who Know There’s More—and Are Ready to Trust Themselves Again – just one hour to your more in midlife. Let’s dig into some decisions and build up that muscle of self-trust. Go to www.yourmidlifewingwoman.com to register. And before I let you go, I have a really exciting ask. Voting for the Top Host Contest starts today! If you've been listening to Men, Menopause & Miracles, if you've enjoyed these conversations, if you've ever thought, “Suzanne needs to be doing this on a much bigger stage,” this is your chance to help make that happen. I'm competing for the Top Host opportunity with Ryan Seacrest on iHeart Podcast and a $25,000 prize. I would absolutely love your vote! Here’s the voting link: https://tophost.org/2026/suzanne-fazalare Vote once. Vote daily and share the link to a friend who might enjoy the podcast and want to support me also.

    Episode 70: You're Not Difficult. You're Just Done People-Pleasing.

    Welcome to Men, Menopause & Miracles – especially if you’re new here – yay! I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman. What if you're not difficult? Have you ever said yes to something when every single part of you was screaming no? Have you ever agreed to make the plans, take on the responsibility, show up for someone, or do one more thing, even though you were already stretched too thin? And then, when you finally had a moment to yourself, you felt resentful. Not necessarily because the other person had done anything wrong. But because you had once again put what someone else wanted ahead of what you needed. If you've ever found yourself in that situation, today's episode is for you. Because I want to talk about something that I think so many women experience, particularly in midlife. What happens when you start to realize that the person you've spent years being is no longer the person you want to be? Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart and YouTube. You don't have to have a difficult conversation with everyone in your life. You don't even have to say no to the next person who asks you for something. But perhaps you can pause before you say yes. Perhaps you can give yourself the time to ask, "Do I actually want to do this?" And perhaps, just perhaps, you can begin to believe that your answer matters. Because it does. And if there's one thing I hope you take away from today's episode, it's this: You don't have to keep disappointing yourself to avoid disappointing everyone else. The woman you're becoming deserves your trust, too.   If today's conversation resonated with you, I'd love for you to follow or subscribe to Men, Menopause & Miracles, leave a review, or share this episode with a woman who mightneed to hear it. And if you have a story, a question, or a topic you'd love us to explore, you can reach me at: yourmidlifewingwoman@gmail.com. Until next time, I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman. Remember, you are allowed to change. You are allowed to want something different. And you are allowed to create a next chapter that feels like yours.   Take good care of yourself. And I'll see you next time. Bye for now! Visit me at: www.yourmidlifewingwoman.com #midlife #midlifewomen #yourmidlifewingwoman #menmenopauseandmiracles #people-pleasing

    Episode 69: Coming Back to Yourself - Menopause, the Body & You w/ Cat Macary

    Welcome back to Men, Menopause & Miracles. I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman, and today we're talking about something I think so many women experience in midlife but don't always have language for: that moment when the way you've been living, thinking, coping, pushing, pleasing, achieving or simply getting through life starts to stop working. What if your body isn't actually working against you? What if it's been trying to get your attention? And sometimes the first thing that tells us is our body. Our sleep changes. Our energy changes. Our emotions change. Menopause arrives. We feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, uncomfortable in our own skin. And we can spend a lot of time asking, "How do I get back to the woman I was?" But what if that's not the question? What if the question is, "Who am I now?" This is Episode 69: Coming Back to Yourself: Menopause, the Body & You. And what if learning to listen to our bodies is actually part of learning to trust ourselves again? That's the conversation we’re having today.   Joining me is Cat Macary. Cat is a holistic recovery coach combining holistic recovery, science, sacred rituals and trauma-informed practices. She creates containers for deep, lasting transformation. Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart and YouTube. You can learn more about Cat at  www.cat-macary.comor on Instagram at @sacredlysober. I hope today's episode reminded you that your body isn't something you have to fight against. Sometimes, it's the part of you that's been trying to get your attention all along. If there's one thing I hope you take away, it's that coming home to yourself can begin with something very simple: getting quiet enough to notice what you already know, and trusting yourself enough to listen. You don't have to have your whole next chapter figured out. You just have to be willing to hear yourself. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to Like, Follow, or Subscribe. Better yet, leave a review and let us know what stood out to you. If you have questions or there's a topic you'd love us to cover in a future episode, you can always reach me at yourmidlifewingwoman@gmail.com And if you know another woman who's in that place of wondering, “Who am I now?” or feeling disconnected from herself and ready to find her way back, please share this episode with her. I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman, and this has been Men, Menopause & Miracles. Remember, midlife isn't the end of who you were. It's an invitation to listen more deeply to who you are now. I'll see you next time. Bye for now! #midlifewomen #empoweryourself #yourmidlifewingwoman #menmenopauseandmiracles

    Episode 68: Failures to Launch Before Midlife

    Welcome back to Men, Menopause & Miracles. Whether you've been here before or you're new to the podcast, this is a space for women navigating midlife, where we talk honestly about the experiences, questions, changes, and possibilities that come with this season of life. I’m Suzanne, Your Midlife Wingwoman, and your host. “My wingwoman”, you may ask? Yes, every woman needs a wingwoman. I'm the woman you can come to for theconversations we don't always have out loud. The questions about who you are now. What you want next. What you're no longer willing to settle for. The things that have changed, the things that haven't, and the things you're still figuring out. Together, we’ll talk about relationships, menopause, identity, self-trust, desire, dreams, loss, reinvention, and all the wonderfully complicated stuff that comes with being a woman in midlife. As I like to say “midlife is a mouthful”.  Sometimes I'll challenge you. Sometimes I'll make you think. Sometimes I'll remind you of something you already know but haven't trusted yourself enough to act on. Because you don't need someone to tell you who to be. You need space to hear yourself. Today’s conversation is about failures to launch. Let me clarify. Not ‘failure to launch’ but failures (if that’s what we want to call them)  prior to midlife. But I challenge you, me and all – to look at things a little differently.  What if midlife is where you meet the woman that all of those experiences has been creating. Life lessons, dreams and ideas launched or not, and wins along the way. This is Episode 68: Failures to Launch Before Midlife. Today’s episode is not about getting your life all together. It’s about what happens when you finally decide your life is yours to launch. Midlife makes you honest. Not necessarily because you're suddenly wiser (but you are). But pretending gets harder. You can only tell yourself “someday” so many times. You can only stay in something that doesn't fit for so long. You can only keep saying “I'm fine” when you're not. Listen on Spotify, Apple, iHeart and YouTube.  We spend so much of midlife looking back at what didn't happen. But what if we looked at those experiences with fresh eyes and asked what they gave us? Every woman has a midlife transformation story – what’s yours? I’d love to hear from you and what you’ve got to share. Or leave a review and share with this community of thecoolest midlife women what stood out to you. Your review helps other midlife women find these conversations, too. And we need them! If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to Like, Follow, or Subscribe. And if you have a minute, If you have a question, a story, or a topic you’d love us to explore in a future episode, you can always reach me at yourmidlifewingwoman@gmail.com. Lastly, and not to be missed, explore what you’re going to make in midlife in my free coaching hour this Thursday, Stop Second-Guessing Yourself: 5 Shifts to Finally Make YourNext Decision. Now, this is not that you can’t make decisions or don’t, this is to ensure the really important ones about who you want to be in midlife or where you want your midlife journey to go isn’t missed.  I'm not going to tell you what decision to make. I'm going to help you get underneath the noise, the fear and the second-guessing so you can hear yourself more clearly. Go to www.yourmidlifewingwoman.com to Save Your Spot for this Thursday’s session on September 17th. Thank you for being here with me for another episode of Men, Menopause & Miracles. I'm Suzanne - Your Midlife Wingwoman. And I'll see you next time. Bye for now!   #midlifewomen #empoweryourself #yourmidlifewingwoman #failures #selftrust
