Why Am I Yelling? Musings from a middle-aged, menopausal mom
Welcome to Why Am I Yelling?—the podcast for every middle-aged, menopausal mom (or anyone who loves one) trying to navigate the chaos of midlife without completely losing it. Hosted by Krista Rizzo, a mom, transformational coach, and professional yeller (mostly at inanimate objects), this show is all about the hilarity, frustration, and unexpected joys of this stage of life.
From hot flashes to parenting teens, marriage to career reinvention, and the absurd cost of everything, nothing is off-limits. Each episode features real talk, relatable stories, expert guests, and the segments you’ll love:
🔥 "Are You KIDDING Me?" – A listener-submitted or personal rant about life’s latest ridiculousness.
💡 "Here’s the Thing…" – Krista’s unfiltered response, because sometimes you just need to tell it like it is.
So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, or just a little sweaty for no reason, you’re in the right place. Let’s laugh, vent, and figure this out together.

🚀 "Starting Over at 40 (or 50)" – Reinventing Yourself When Life Takes a Turn
Life doesn’t always go as planned—and honestly? THANK GOD.
This week on Why Am I Yelling?, we’re diving into what it really looks like to start over in midlife—whether your marriage ended, the job you gave 20 years to vanished (or sucks your soul dry), or you simply outgrew the old version of your life.
🧠We’re talking:
✨ Why reinvention in your 40s and 50s is terrifying (and totally normal)
✨ The quiet signs it’s time for a change
✨ The sneaky cultural BS that makes us stay stuck
✨ And the real secret? Midlife is your damn superpower.
💥 Plus, I’m sharing YOUR stories of badass reinvention:
🚗 Moving cross-country solo
📚 Going back to school at 45
💘 Dating again after 20 years
🔥 Starting a business during perimenopause (hot flash hustle is real!)
This isn’t a movie montage with yoga retreats and cabana boys (although… I wouldn’t say no). It’s gritty. It’s brave. It’s yours.
If you’re feeling the pull to start over—even if you have no clue what’s next—this episode is your sign.
Start messy. Start scared. Just START.
