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 do I have low libido and will it ever come back?
- Why don't I feel like myself anymore?
- Is this perimenopause or something else?
This podcast was made for you.

60: The Midlife 180 You Didn’t See Coming
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
At some point in your 40s, something shifted.
The way you work. The way you value your time. The way you see yourself.
Maybe you once wore fierce independence like a badge of honor. Maybe proving you could do it all alone felt meaningful. Maybe your career was your entire identity.
And now?
You’re not that woman anymore.
In this solo episode, I share the radical 180 I made between my 30s and 40s — shifting from doing everything myself to valuing time, mentorship, support, and alignment in midlife.
This is a conversation about identity shifts for midlife women. About personal growth, career reinvention, evolving priorities, and honoring who you’ve become instead of clinging to outdated rules.
If you’ve changed more than you realized in your 40s, this one’s for you.
💌Send me a DM @midlifeadvicepodcast and tell me about the 180 you’ve made in your own life. I would love to hear from you. For reals.
