Midlife Moves

Midlife Moves is your go-to podcast for navigating the messy, magical middle of life with humor, honesty, and a little bit of sass. Hosted by Heather Francis—a 40-something mom of four, stroke survivor, gym rat, and perpetual work in progress—this show is all about redefining what midlife looks and feels like. Each week, we’ll talk about leveling up in health, relationships, parenting, mindset, and more—with guests who get it and solo episodes that feel like a heart-to-heart with your smartest, funniest friend. No toxic positivity. No pretending it’s all figured out. Just real conversations about making bold moves and becoming the version of yourself you actually want to be. Midlife isn’t the end. It’s the plot twist. Let’s make it a good one. Connect with Heather on IG @heathermoves_

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.
