The Midlife Edit
The Midlife Edit Podcast is where reinvention meets a killer playlist.
Hosted by Jen Weinstein, this is your backstage pass to midlife — the unfiltered, unapologetic era where we stop chasing who we were and start owning who we’re becoming. From fitness and nutrition to mindset, mental health, family, and the soundtrack that got us here, every episode hits a different note of what it means to rewrite your story and rediscover your power.
Whether you’re lifting weights, lifting your mood, or just trying to hold it all together between school drop-offs and 90s playlists, Jen brings honest conversations, real-life advice, and the occasional rock lyric that reminds you: you’re not too old — you’re just getting started.
This is your comeback tour.
Your permission slip to evolve, not age.
Let’s make it a damn good chapter.
The Midlife Edit
Midlife Is the Era of Reinvention (Part 1)
Midlife is not the chapter where women quiet themselves...it’s the chapter where we finally realize we don’t have to stay the same.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, Jen breaks down why reinvention isn’t failure, it’s responsiveness. This episode is about giving yourself permission to evolve loudly, change your mind often, and stop forcing yourself into rigid goals that were never built for real life.
Instead of New Year’s resolutions, Jen introduces a flexible, editable roadmap grounded in three powerful lenses: happiness, healthiness, and wealth...not as goals, but as filters to help you decide what stays and what goes as you move into 2026.
This episode dives into:
- Why midlife brings clarity, not crisis
- How women have been conditioned to stay small, quiet, and “grateful”
- Redefining happiness as alignment, not performance
- Reframing health as strength, energy, and capacity, not punishment
- Why money has long been a taboo topic for women...and why it’s time to change that
- How wealth really means options, freedom, and choice
- Why traditional resolutions fail midlife women
- A 4-step editable roadmap you can revisit and revise as often as needed
This is the mindset shift.
The permission slip.
The foundation for reinvention, on your terms.
In Part 2, Jen gets practical: how to turn this roadmap into real routines, how to stay consistent without becoming rigid, and how to keep evolving without losing momentum.
Midlife isn’t the winding down.
It’s the expansion.
Let’s make it a damn good chapter.
