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.

Episode 11: Your Voice is Your Superpower: Breaking the "Seen and Not Heard" Cycle
For generations, kids were told: “Be seen, not heard.” That message shaped how many of us learned to shrink, stay quiet, and suppress our true selves.
But now? We’re flipping the script.
In this episode of Why Am I Yelling?, I explore:
🔊 How past parenting styles silenced us
👩👧 Why today’s parents are raising kids to be heard
💬 How YOUR voice can become your greatest superpower
🛠 Practical ways to reclaim your voice in relationships, parenting, and midlife
If you’ve ever felt like your voice was “too much” — this episode is your permission slip to take up space, speak your truth, and inspire the next generation to do the same.
