This is the podcast for high-achieving women in midlife who want to make midlife their best life.
Women who have worked their entire lives, whether that’s in a traditional career or as the CEO of their household, or for many women, both. And they look around at their life in midlife, and think “I’ve worked my ass off for this?”
They have everything they always thought they ever wanted, but for some reason, it feels like something is missing.
This is the podcast for midlife women who are experiencing all sorts of physical changes in their bodies, while navigating changes in every other part of their lives, too: friendships, family life, work life.
This is the podcast for midlife women who find themselves wide-awake at 2.00am, asking themselves big questions like “what do I want?” “is it too late for me?”, and “what’s my legacy beyond my family and my work?”
Each week, we’re answering these questions and more at the School of Midlife.
When it comes to midlife, there are a lot of people talking about menopause and having a midlife crisis. This isn’t one of those podcasts. While we may occasionally talk about the menopausal transition, but that’s not our focus. Because we believe that midlife is so much more than menopause. And it’s certainly not a crisis.At the School of Midlife, we’re looking to make midlife our best life.

Nourishing My Soul
Each episode inspires me to examine where my soul sits today. Is it leaning back and comfortably taking in what’s going on around me? Or is it sitting on the edge of the seat with excitement for for this moment I created for it? The School of Midlife podcasts are continually teaching me that even though both life positions exist within, my soul loves the edge! Laurie’s insights and interviews are the spark I need to keep reaching higher levels of fulfillment.
