Midlife Advice | Perimenopause, Hormones and Midlife Women’s Health
You're a woman over 40, you're in the thick of perimenopause or menopause, and lately you keep coming back to the same thought: I just don't feel like myself anymore.
You're doing everything right. Showing up for your family, your work, everyone who needs you. But you feel exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Work feels harder and less fulfilling than it used to. Your relationship feels distant. Your body is changing. You’re overwhelmed with the neverending decisions. And no matter what you do, you just feel off. Disconnected from yourself.
Midlife Advice is the podcast for intelligent midlife women who are ready to stop white-knuckling through life and feel next-level good.
Each week, host Jessica Long brings you honest conversations about navigating perimenopause and menopause, hormones, overwhelm, relationships, confidence, and the identity shift nobody warned you was coming. Not as a patient. Not as a problem to be solved. As a woman who deserves to actually feel GREAT again.
Jessica is a holistic health coach, certified menopause coaching specialist, breathwork facilitator and fellow midlife woman navigating all of this right alongside you.
If you've ever searched:
- "Why am I so exhausted all the time?"
- "Why does work feel so hard lately?"
- "Why do I feel so disconnected from my partner?"
- "Why can't I relax even when I have time?"
- "Why don't I feel like myself anymore?"
- “Is this perimenopause or something else?”
This podcast was made for you.

59: Surviving the Midlife Trifecta: Menopause, Divorce and Dating
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Menopause, divorce, and dating don’t always take turns. They hit all at once. Angela Burk explains how surviving all three can become a midlife turning point you didn’t see coming.
Angela Burk, author of REAL GIRLS GUIDE TO MIDLIFE, has lived straight through the midlife trifecta and has the hard-earned perspective to prove it. This is an honest, funny, deeply validating conversation for women who feel like their bodies, relationships, and identities are all shifting at the same time.
We talk about what no one warned us about, including why menopause doesn’t magically end after 12 months, how divorce can become an unexpected catalyst for clarity, and what it really takes to date again after a long hiatus (without forcing yourself before you’re ready).
If you’re in midlife and quietly wondering:
•Why does my body feel unfamiliar all of a sudden?
•When did I start editing myself so much?
•Is it too late to want something different?
This episode will help you:
•Make sense of the unexpected twists of menopause
•Recognize the subtle ways you may be shrinking or people-pleasing
•Let go of the idea that there’s a “right” timeline for marriage, divorce, or dating
•Start building a life and relationships that actually fit who you are now
This is big-sister wisdom you’ll want to hear before the next wave hits.
