Let's Talk Midlife Crisis Podcast
Welcome to Let’s Talk Midlife Crisis — the podcast that keeps it real about the messy, magical, and transformative season of midlife.
Hosted by Traci and Ashley, two longtime friends navigating the highs and lows of perimenopause, menopause, relationships, careers, and everything in between, this show is your safe space to laugh, learn, and feel less alone.
Now in our third season, we’re diving deeper into the conversations that matter most:
- Finding joy and balance in your 40s, 50s, and beyond
- Thriving through the physical and emotional changes of midlife
- Tackling taboo topics with honesty and humor
- Sharing expert insights, real stories, and practical tips
Whether you’re battling hot flashes, redefining what happiness looks like, or just trying to figure out your next chapter, we’ve got you.
So pour yourself a glass (coffee, tea, or wine all count) and join us every week for candid conversations, laughter, and a reminder that midlife is not a crisis — it’s a chance to rewrite the script.
🎙️ Subscribe now and let’s navigate this second act together.
