Mid Life Bites
Midlife Bites is the unapologetic, unfiltered podcast for women standing in the messy middle of life where the rules you’ve lived by stop working, the roles you’ve carried feel too heavy, and the version of you in the mirror feels like a stranger.
Hosted by Clinical Psychologist and midlife mentor Kirstin Bouse, Midlife Bites gets real about how midlife “bites” the moments it stings, why it happens, what changes in the fallout, and the surprising clarity that can come after.
Some weeks it’s just Kirstin, cutting through the noise with equal parts fierce truth-telling and deep compassion. Other weeks, you’ll hear from women who’ve lived their own “midlife bite” moments and from experts who understand exactly what’s going on beneath the surface, biologically, psychologically, and socially.
This is not another midlife makeover show. It’s a place to name the hard stuff, strip away the shame, and find your own way forward on your terms.
If you’ve been thinking, “Why the hell don’t I feel like myself anymore?” … you’re in the right place.

Breaking Down Barriers to Thrive in Menopause with Alison Dougall
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the menopause space, there’s this common misconception that it can be all negative - particularly when you’re fatigued, headachey, forgetful and on an emotional rollercoaster!
However, perimenopause and menopause can also bring a shift that sets us up for the next stage of our lives in a really cool way. Alison Dougall - a Clinical & Counselling Psychologist, Coach and All About Her member - is helping women thrive within this phase of life.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Thriving in menopause and continuously improving this stage of life
- Psychological support vs. coaching - which should you choose?
- The things that women are seeking support for during perimenopause
- Her community ‘The Thriving Space’
- Creating open conversations and shifting the future possibilities in the menopause space
