Getting Used to It, Midlife is a show hosted by two executive life coaches, Beth & Suzee, who are also expert friends and are both getting used to midlife. From empty nesting and aging parents to painful sex, and let’s not forget the extra lubrication, we will sift through all of it, speaking our truth faithfully and vulnerably. Listen as we live through this in ourselves and our relationships in real time and tease through the “how to” of this next phase of life. As coaches, we have the tools, but as women in the middle, we may not have all the answers. Scratch that— we’ll have some damn good ideas, too. Join us, and let’s get used to it together!

    Getting Used To It: REWIND When Life Looks Full But Feels Lonely

    Send us Fan Mail Rewind: we're both just back from vacation, so we're re-sharing one of our favorites from Season 3. Loneliness can sneak into the busiest years. We're exploring friendship in midlife—why connection feels harder now, what's really shifting, and how to build bonds that fit this season. We unpack the "friendship recession," trace how modern life rewires intimacy, and get practical: friendship is a skill, not a lightning strike. Learn simple moves like choosing aligned activities, initiating consistently, asking better questions, and investing in a mosaic of connections—from casual buddies to soul-deep confidants. Pick three people, go one notch deeper than small talk, and build friendships with care and courage. If this resonates, follow the show and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    Getting Used To It, Midlife: Women’s Anger in Midlife: What Are You Really Mad About?

    Send us Fan Mail When was the last time you felt genuinely angry? And what did you actually do with that anger? Midlife anger doesn’t always look like yelling. Sometimes it’s snapping at your partner, simmering over an injustice, swallowing what you really want to say, or finally refusing to stay quiet. Suzee and Beth talk about how anger changes as women age, why so many of us were taught to be “good girls,” and what our anger may actually be trying to tell us. Are you a suppressor or an expressor—and has that changed with age? Your anger isn’t a character flaw. It’s information. Share this episode with a woman who needs permission to feel what she’s feeling. resources Reference [1] Woods, Pike, and Mitchell — Anger, Aging, and Reproductive Aging Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Getting Used To It!

    Manopause & Couple Pause: What’s Going On With Us?

    Send us Fan Mail He’s exhausted, forgetful, and irritable. You’re not sleeping either—and now you’re both wondering what happened to the people you married. Suzee and Beth talk “manopause,” what andropause actually means, and the midlife pileup they call Couple Pause: when both partners are changing at the same time. Could less blame and more curiosity help you face it together? Fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, sleep problems, and low libido can have many causes. Talk with a qualified healthcare professional about individual concerns.

    Getting Used To It: The Gift of Hindsight: Looking Back Without Beating Yourself Upd Episode

    Send us Fan Mail Midlife has a way of changing how we see the past. The mistakes that once made us cringe start to look more human—and the younger versions of ourselves deserve more grace than blame. Suzee and Beth talk about regret, self-forgiveness, and why getting older can make us kinder to who we used to be. What would change if you stopped judging your past self by what you know now?

    Getting Used To IT: Growing Up Korean American And Learning What Love Looked Like

    Send us Fan Mail Suzee didn't know what Beth was going to ask her. That's what made it real. In this episode, Beth turns the mic on Suzee and goes deep — on what it actually felt like to grow up Korean American, caught between a traditional immigrant household and an American world that didn't quite fit either. The exhaustion of straddling two cultures, the love that looked like pressure, and what you can only see clearly from the other side of 51. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Getting Used To It!

    Getting Used To IT: Nobody Warned Him About Menopause. Not Even Me.

    Send us Fan Mail Your partner watched you change — the heat, the fog, the mood, the dryness — and had no idea what was happening. But here's the uncomfortable part: neither did you, really. Not fully. Not at first. Suzee and Beth get into the strange reality that menopause is still something women are expected to announce — like it's news, like you scheduled it — to partners who grew up watching their own fathers say nothing, in a world that barely studied it at all. Nobody warned him. But nobody really warned you either. And now somehow it's on you to hand him the map you're still reading yourself. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Getting Used To It!

    Getting Used To It: Grieving The Loss Of Your Unwritten History

    Send us Fan Mail The hardest part of losing family isn’t always the obvious grief. Sometimes it’s the identity shock: waking up to the fact that there’s no one left above you, no living witness who can say, “Here’s who you were,” or “That’s not how it happened.” Beth joins us for a candid, often darkly funny, deeply human talk about what it means to become the oldest woman in your family and how that realization can make you feel strangely alone, even when your life is full.

    Getting Used To It: Good Girls Don't...

    Send us Fan Mail Female pleasure, women's anger, divorce — three things that were basically unspeakable when we were growing up. Nobody said don't talk about it. We just knew. This episode is about what it costs to swallow things that were always yours to feel. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Getting Used To It!
