Does the advice ‘just follow your passion’ make you tired or are you weary of seeing middle aged women portrayed as helpless victims of their hormones?
You’re not a Millennial, but you’re also not over the hill yet. Do you find yourself somewhere more in the...middle?
Then join Lana, Jen, and Tara, who offer a fresh, positive take on mid life--because it’s not a crisis!
Sandwiched between boomers and millennials, this podcast is for Gen Xers who know midlife isn’t about trying to look like they’re still in their twenties or wearing themselves out attempting to regain their youth. We’re proud of our wrinkles, scars, and saggy skin, because we’ve earned them! Join us as we discard society’s ideals about who we’re supposed to be and figure out this next exciting phase of our lives.
Here’s Reinventing Midlife: They may not know the answers, but they’re going to talk about it anyway!

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Updating my review to say I’m bummed you stopped recording! Hope you all are well and healthy. Thanks for the show.
I feel like I have 3 new best friends
These ladies are so real and fun. I’m sad that I have already finished all the episodes. Can’t wait for new ones. It’s like having coffee with friends every time I listen
Real. Fun!
Fun, lighthearted and relatable. Grab your cup of coffee or start chopping those veggies for dinner. You’ll feel like you’re in the kitchen with your girlfriends! I often find myself actually laughing out loud or agreeing audibly before I realize I am standing there alone with my headphones on.
