We Changed For Our Midlives, But F*ck These Hot Flashes

The bravest thing about midlife isn’t the leap. It’s admitting the life you’ve outgrown—and choosing the one that actually fits. We dig into the surge in “gray divorce,” the myths around the midlife crisis, and why so many of us are trading the familiar grind for a more honest path. The stories are personal: leaving long marriages with care, discovering the power of therapy, and finding new careers that honor the work we’ve done and the art we still want to make.

We go there on menopause—hot flashes, brain fog, and the mental haze that can make everything feel harder—and how hormone replacement therapy, used thoughtfully with a clinician, can turn the lights back on. That clarity changes relationships: boundaries sharpen, equality becomes nonnegotiable, and the mental load gets named. We talk about great sex decades in, dating with self-respect, and the joy of partnerships that celebrate growth rather than fear it. Reinvention doesn’t just happen at home; it shows up in community. From Meetup to TikTok, we share practical ways to build a tribe in a new city, repair old ties, and cultivate friendships that hold through grief and change.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it's too late to start over, publish your first novel, move states, or simply ask for better—this conversation is proof that the clock isn’t your enemy. Fear is. And everything you ever wanted might be on the other side of it. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review to help more people find the show.
