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.

Best Skincare Routine for Women Over 40: How to Care for Dry, Sensitive, Aging Skin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dry skin after 40? Sensitive, aging skin that keeps getting worse? Your skincare routine might be part of the problem. Botanical formulator May Lindstrom explains what midlife skin actually needs and what to stop doing.
If your skin has changed in your 40s or 50s and your routine keeps getting longer without getting better results, this conversation is going to shift how you think about your skin.
May Lindstrom, founder of May Lindstrom Skin, has been formulating luxury organic skincare for sensitive, changing skin for over 20 years. In this episode, she gets specific about what is actually happening to midlife skin, why more products tend to backfire, which ingredients genuinely help, and one thing most women do every single day that might be working against them.
What we cover:
- How to simplify your routine without losing results
- Ingredients to look for (and ones hiding in popular products that may be making things worse)
- Whether natural and organic skincare can actually deliver results
- Where to invest in skincare and where it matters less
- One habit most women have right after washing their face that a 20-year formulator says to stop
