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.

Special Guest - Dr. Mike Green, Medical Director of Winona
We rarely have guests on the podcast and certainly not boys, but when Winona Medical Director Dr. Michael Green asked if he could join us, we jumped at the chance. Winona is telehealth medicine for women looking to live their healthiest life with the aid of bioidentical hormones.
Kimby and Tracy ask all the questions you're thinking about and help dispel the myths and shame surrounding actively managing your menopause symptoms, but more importantly, your long-term health.

The Bully In The Mirror
Bullying yourself.
Today on The Midlife we are discussing the embedded beliefs within us that are harsh and rigid. Have we been hearing them and thinking them for so long that we believe they are true? Have we hard wired these beliefs so that we can not imagine we are allowed to think something else about ourselves?

Creativity Lull
Sometimes the creativity dries up. Or at least it hits a lull. What do we do to ourselves how do we react or act when it comes and when it doesn't? Do we judge ourselves when creativity isn't flowing? Do we feel anxious and fill the time with keeping "busy"? Or allow the quiet time to be just what we need right now before the next burst of inspiration appears?
We know feeling like an empty canvas can be scary.
Instead, we offer: "It's way more fun to sit with it and look at the emptiness as a place that can be and will be filled instead of something that will remain empty."

Customer Reviews
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.
Awesome
As a woman in my life, everything that Kimberly says rings true to me. I love her candor and her honesty about what is happening in life at this time!
