Life is Delicious- Mindset Mastery, Midlife Empowerment, Joy, Purpose, Vitality, Inspiration, Women's Health
Ever feel like midlife has you running on an endless hamster wheel of responsibilities while your own dreams gather dust? Is the crazy chaos of caring for everyone else leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed? Are you in desperate need of some self care, balance and reconnection with your most authentic self? I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast isn't about surviving midlife; it's about crafting a next chapter overflowing with purpose, joy, and delicious possibilities. I'm Marnie Martin, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, daughter and a hot midlife Mama (literally) and over the last decade, I've been through career pivots, a divorce, and I survived the empty nest, only to have it fill up again. I spent the next several years travelling miles and miles every month to care for my elderly parents and my time and attention was so torn in every direction that I lost track of who I was, and I found myself in an endless cycle of people pleasing, putting out fires and running on empty. I know how it feels to be stuck in chronic overwhelm, stress and chaos and trust me, it's not a pretty picture. I decided that it was time to take MY OWN life and health back and I worked hard to reclaim my health through radical self care practices, recalibrating my nervous system and setting healthy boundaries that allowed me to start living my life "on purpose" again. I'm here to show you that midlife doesn't have to be a crisis, but instead a beautiful invitation to remember who we are, to rediscover a new version of ourself, or to completely re-invent our life to reflect who we are becoming now-intentionally crafting a life by design that truly nourishes our soul. If you are ready to take back YOUR "Joie de Vivre", then you are in the exact right place! Each week brings conversations with health and wellness specialists, spiritual growth experts, and guests with courageous and transformative stories that will inspire you to break free from the overwhelm. You'll walk away with practical strategies, meaningful insights, inspiration and the permission to prioritize yourself again. We were born to thrive and experience life as the delicious feast it's meant to be. Subscribe now and join a community of midlife women who are turning up the volume on their inner voice and writing their own recipes for a life that feeds their soul.
Episodes
What if midlife isn’t a crisis but a green light to design a life you actually want? We sit down with divorce coach Meagan Norris to unpack the moment she chose to break a family pattern, how she walked through the void, and why ending a marriage can be a completion rather than a failure. This is a story of agency, nervous system care, and writing a better future with clarity and compassion.
We start with the...
The quiet after the holidays can feel stark—and also full of promise. We’re leaning into that fresh energy with certified life and organizing coach Tracy Hoth to explore how clearing clutter becomes a powerful act of self-respect, especially in midlife when roles and routines shift. Together we unpack why decisions feel heavy, how identity ties us to old stuff, and what it takes to design systems that actually stick.<...
Ready to design a year that actually feels like you? We celebrate our one-year milestone by swapping shame-fueled resolutions for a kinder, more effective blueprint: reflection, intention, small daily shifts, and boundaries that hold. Midlife isn’t a crisis to survive—it’s an invitation to remember who we are, curate what matters, and build rhythms that last.
We start with a compassionate year-in-review and a...
What if your next chapter felt wider, calmer, and fully funded? Steph Wagner joins us to share how she rebuilt her life after a blindsiding divorce—transforming shame and avoidance into clarity, confidence, and a mission to help women own their financial future. As the National Director of Women and Wealth at Northern Trust and author of Fly: A Woman’s Guide to Financial Freedom and Building a Life You Love, Steph ble...
What if midlife health felt less like a grind and more like a grounded plan you can actually live with? Today we share a practical manifesto that trades perfection for momentum and equips you with tools you can use immediately. No detoxes, no guilt—just four priorities that stack wins day after day.
We start by reframing the metric that matters most: energy. Instead of obsessing over age or the scale, we trac...
What if wealth isn’t a number but a feeling you can build today? We take a clear-eyed look at midlife and name what actually makes life feel abundant: energy to enjoy the day, people who know your story, and a purpose that gets you out of bed with a smile. Instead of chasing more, we map a path to cherishing enough—and the steps are simpler than you think.
First, we break the old script that postpones joy for...
A riverside Airstream with zero cell service became the digital detox I didn’t know I needed. With no bars and no pressure to post, the urge to document every beautiful moment faded. What replaced it was deeper: a full-body exhale, a simple meal by the fire, the quiet joy of reconnecting with myself and listening to my inner knowings. That unexpected reset opened the door to a powerful conversation with coach and entr...
The lights are up, the calendar is full, and your nervous system is waving a tiny white flag. As we celebrate one year of Life is Delicious, we’re giving you something better than another obligation: a calmer, kinder December you can actually enjoy.

This week in week 3 of our 8 part Miniseries on reverse engineering the New Year and crafting your own MidLife Manifesto, we dig into SPIRIT.
You don’t need a full life overhaul to feel aligned—you just need a few soul-level habits that actually stick. In this episode of Life Is Delicious, we’re building your midlife manifesto around SPIRIT—your inner spark, your intuition, your sense of meaning—and translating it into...
What if the best parts of your life came from the moments you almost ignored? We explore the power of saying yes to odd chances, trusting your gut, and treating detours like design. With my dad, Burton, back for Coffee with Burton, we trace how tiny openings turned into decades of meaningful work and why midlife might be the perfect time to reinvent.
Burton’s journey moves from retail and insurance to commerc...
Start the new year by choosing how you want to feel in your body—and let that feeling become your north star. We explore a kinder, smarter path for midlife wellness that trades punishment and extremes for body loyalty, identity-based choices, and small daily habits that actually stick. Instead of chasing a 25-year-old ideal, we partner with the body we have today and build energy, strength, and ease from the inside ou...

Ready to stop drifting through midlife and start steering with intention? We’re kicking off an eight-part mini-series designed to reverse engineer the new year, and we’re starting with the foundation that holds everything else: your mindset. I share why a personal manifesto is more than pretty words—it’s a compass and a love letter to your future self—and how a handful of identity statements can reshape the way you mo...
What if midlife isn’t a crisis but a launch window? We sit down with adventure athlete and author Deanette Wells to unpack how a mother of three climbed the seven summits, raced across jungles and deserts, and turned profound loss into a compass for a life lived on purpose. Deanette’s new book, Another Step Up the Mountain, becomes our framework for building resilience: focus on the step in front of you, breathe when ...
New Year’s pressure doesn’t have to run the show. We’re flipping the script with a refreshing, research-backed approach to change that starts now—not on January 1—and centers on identity, clarity, and gentle momentum. Instead of chasing rigid resolutions, we map the person we want to become by December 31 and build small, supportive systems that make that identity feel natural and doable.
I share the vision b...
What if your path to real love started with an honest confession: I don’t know what love really feels like? That’s where attorney and author Heidi B. Freeman began, turning a divorce into a decade-long experiment in connection—104 dates, interviews with couples across ages and backgrounds, and a journal that captured both the loneliness and the breakthroughs that followed. We walk through her most hard-won lessons, th...
What if one honest sentence could change a day—or save a life? We dive into gratitude not as a platitude, but as a biological reset that lifts mood, calms the body, and strengthens community. Drawing on research from UC Davis and Harvard, we unpack how simple acts of thankfulness lower blood pressure, improve sleep, and reduce inflammation, while flooding the brain with dopamine and serotonin that reinforce joy and co...
Imagine regaining balance on the spot, easing pain without another pill, or finally waking up rested—simply by wearing a small, patterned patch. That’s the claim behind Superpatch, a new technology designed to offer a drug free approach to better health and living pain free.

Have you noticed your body reacting differently to foods you've always enjoyed? You're not alone.

In this eye-opening conversation with Nina Cucina, former Food Network star and founder of the ...
The gentle shift from summer to autumn brings with it one of nature's most profound teachers: the Autumn Equinox. This celestial moment, when day and night stand in perfect balance, offers wisdom that can transform how we navigate our increasingly chaotic world.
