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.

67: Feel Like Life is Passing You By? How to Get Back on Track Without Overhauling Everything
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If it feels like your life is passing you by and you’re not fully in it, let’s talk.
You’re keeping everything running, everyone’s taken care of, nothing is wrong…but you’re not exactly feeling like the main character in your life either. Am I right?
This is your invitation to pause, check in, and get back on track without overhauling everything. Seriously, we’re keeping it easy peasy because who needs one more thing to do?
In this solo episode, I’m walking you through a simple reset using your intentions as a guide. I share how I’m evaluating what’s working (and what’s not) for me, what it looks like to make decisions from the standpoint of your future self, and why small shifts—not big dramatic changes—are what move you forward.
If you’ve been stuck in autopilot, this will help you step back into the driver’s seat.
I talk about what it means to live on purpose in midlife, how to reconnect with yourself when life feels busy and disconnected, and why slowing down—even briefly—can change everything. You’ll walk away with one small, doable step to realign your life starting this week.
