Dare On with Jodi
💜You did the mom thing—and you did it well.
Now the house is quieter, the roles have shifted, and you're asking: What’s next for me?
Whether you're navigating an empty nest, moving through divorce or widowhood, facing a career pivot, or simply longing to reconnect with your true self in midlife—this space is for you.
Welcome to Dare On with Jodi, the podcast for midlife women who are ready to dare more, doubt less, and live fully.
I’m Jodi Silverman—speaker, mindset coach, and your personal cheerleader for this next chapter of life. Every Thursday, you’ll hear real stories of reinvention, heartfelt solo episodes, and conversations that spark courage, confidence, and connection.
We talk midlife pivots, purpose, self-talk, happiness (yes, it’s possible!), and all the messy magic in between—sprinkled with a little woo and a lot of heart.
If you're craving more you in your life, this is your space.
🎧So grab your earbuds and let’s make Thursdays your favorite day of the week.

What if your biggest fears were actually doorways to your greatest joy?
