In this episode of Wellness After 40, I talk with Brigid Delaney, author and journalist, about her exploration of wellness in midlife. Brigid spent her 40s experimenting with different trends, habits, and practices — documenting her experiences with humor, honesty, and curiosity.
We dive into what it’s like to observe and document wellness firsthand, from the physically and emotionally challenging experiments to the surprises she found in the wellness industry. Brigid also reflects on how her writing resonates with people navigating life in their 40s and beyond, balancing health, life transitions, and self-care.
Along the way, we discuss her approach to storytelling, the experience of seeing her book Wellmania adapted into a Netflix series, and the simple habits she believes support wellness in midlife. This conversation is for anyone curious about wellness, storytelling, and what it really means to pay attention to life after 40 — without pressure to “fix” or reinvent yourself.
