Aging Better (Part II): Reframing Midlife, Hormones & What’s Possible

In Part II of the Living Big Mindfully Aging Better mini-series, we continue the conversation about reimagining midlife and what’s possible as we age.

In this episode, Kate is joined by Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, a triple board-certified physician specializing in hormones, integrative medicine, and holistic health, and the founder of The Pause Institute.

Dr. Betsy shares her pro-aging approach to vibrant living—addressing common myths around aging, hormones, and midlife health, and offering practical, empowering insights for both women and men. This conversation is grounding, hopeful, and deeply reassuring, especially for those navigating midlife and beyond.

As the paradigm around aging continues to shift, this episode invites you to rethink decline-based narratives and reconnect with vitality, purpose, and agency in the years ahead.

To support this conversation, Kate has created the Aging Better Tool Kit—a free resource filled with simple micro-practices you can gently weave into daily life. You can download it here: LivingBigMindfully.com.
