Midlife Advice | Perimenopause, Hormones & Midlife Women’s Health
Hello, my friend. You’ve landed in the right place — where super smart and slightly sassy women over 40 come to figure out what the hell is going on with our hormones, emotions, relationships, careers, and… well, everything, really.
I’m Jessica Long, a health coach, certified menopause coaching specialist and fellow midlife woman on this wild ride with you. Join me each week and together let’s learn about midlife women’s health and wellness from every angle — Western, Eastern and everything in between. We talk perimenopause and menopause, burnout, career pivots, parenting, marriage shifts, purpose, and the constant quest to feel like ourselves again.
You’ll hear honest midlife advice from experts and everyday women, and real-life tools that actually help with hormone health, mindset, nutrition, and lifestyle — plus fun stuff like our favorite books and girls’ trips.
If you love hearing from experts, rebels, and wise women rewriting midlife on their own terms, then you belong here. Hit play and let’s go.

My midlife mom friends—If you’ve ever needed a vacation after your family vacation, this one’s for you.
In this playful mini-sode, I reflect on my recent family “vacation,” and how I’m getting closer to dropping the quotes.

You’ll hear:
•Tips that make family travel a little easier
•How to actually squeeze in some guilt-free “me time”
•The power of being spontaneous and seizing the day
•And the reminder every mom needs
