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.

What Your Future Self Sees That You're Missing Right Now
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if your future self could travel back in time to right now and show you exactly what you're missing?
That's the exercise we're playing with in today's episode. I've been using it myself, and it shifts my perspective, changes my energy, and influences the trajectory of my whole day in a really positive way. And it couldn't be easier.
I first came across this concept while listening to Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, Be Your Future Self Now. He shares a story about a completely average evening that tugged at my heart strings. And then a text from my 84-year-old dad gave me the chance to try it in real life.
In this episode:
- The future self visualization exercise you can start using on the most ordinary moments of your day
- How to apply it when you're feeling irritated, impatient, or just done
- Why this one simple shift is a powerful way to change your energy and your whole outlook on a regular Tuesday
I can’t wait for you to try this. After you do, click the link below to send me a text and tell me about it!
