Hosts Kimberly Samson and Tracy Feldstein bring you a no-holds-barred view of life from the middle. No topic is off limits. Bored by the sudden saturation of midlife “transformations” (yes, this intense questioning sometime in your 40’s and 50’s seems to be a universal experience) Tracy and Kimberly don’t think the answer is sanitized instagram feeds and talking endlessly about gray hair, menopause, ageism, and “go get ‘em, Honey, you’re not too old”. Kimberly and Tracy bring you something deeper. Still inspirational, for sure. But also raw and honest and funny. Part instructional/part entertainment, Tracy and Kimberly are wives, mothers, entrepreneurs and friends talking about everything you're thinking about and wondering if anyone else is too. What they've got figured out, they clue you in, what they're still struggling with, they openly share and work through. If they can smooth the journey for you too, they've done the job they set out to do.

    Parenting Doesn't Stop At 18

    Kimby guested on Randi Rubenstein's 'Mastermind Parenting Podcast" where Randi was generous enough to help Kimby plug her new book "F*CK THIS: Practical Advice To Get You Through Your Midlife Crisis". Randi and Kimby have been friends since college so this conversation was fun and dishy.

    Randi is a parenting expert who helps parents become leaders of their pack. Her specialty is helping parents guide strong-willed kiddos. As we MLFers know, parenting doesn't stop at 18 and as a mother of two 20-somethings and one high school senior, Randi should be your go-to expert for all questions. You can find her podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mastermind-parenting-podcast/id1362773053

    Gift Choosing, Giving, & Receiving - an overthinker's hell🤣

    Gift Choosing, Giving, & Receiving - an overthinker's hell🤣

    Gift-giving can be a delightful yet daunting dance for both the giver and receiver. Whether it’s the silent pressure to mirror the worth of our relationships through presents or decoding the unwritten expectations tied with each ribbon, this act of love often twirls us into a spiral of overthinking and second-guessing. Join Kimby as she candidly shares her headspace, swirling with the conundrums of picking the perfect token for our beloved Tracy. Is it about the price, the thought, or hitting the sweet spot of the recipient's heart?

Timely and Fun

Timely topics and fun. Smart women having real conversations about real life stuff in our lives. I feel like I can pull up a chair and join right in.

Been here from the start….

I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning and should have reviewed sooner. But seeing the weird outlier of a 2 star review below made me want to come share my thoughts and defend Kimberly.

Clearly that reviewer has some other baggage.

One of the things I like best about this podcast is that Kimberly injects her opinion. I’m not tuning into a balanced news show. I want to hear her take.

And if she is ever cutting someone off, it’s to redirect the conversation. Kimberly does a great job of keeping her interviews flowing and interesting.

As an added bonus, if you have something to say about an episode, you can go to her Facebook group Muddling Through The Midlife and hash it out there.

I love this podcast and I look forward to each new episode.
