Crazy Stupid Midlife
Real Talk for Women Who’ve Been There, Done That, and Are Ready for More
Welcome to Crazy Stupid Midlife—the podcast for smart, powerful women who are rewriting the rules of what life looks like after 40. Hosted by two 40-something women who’ve navigated motherhood, career pivots, identity shifts, and everything in between, this is your go-to space for real, unfiltered conversations about midlife reinvention.
Because midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a comeback. A career change, a confidence glow-up, a rediscovery of what really matters. Whether you’re leveling up, starting over, or finally putting yourself first, we’re here with the laughs, the wisdom, and the “WTF is happening to my skin?” moments.
From women’s health and wellness, to aesthetics, aging boldly, and personal growth, we’re talking all the crazy, stupid, beautiful parts of being a woman in midlife. This isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of your best damn chapter yet.

Welcome to Balance with Dr. Noriko Udea-Lang
What if feeling better isn’t about another prescription — but about getting to the real root of what’s going on? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Noriko Ueda-Lang, a Licensed Acupuncturist, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Kinesiotape Instructor, to explore the powerful connection between Eastern and Western approaches to wellness.
Dr. Noriko shares how her acupuncture practice and background in functional medicine come together to address root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. We dive into topics like acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, supplementation, and the importance of breath work, and we also touch on konenki — the Japanese perspective on the midlife transition. Whether you’re seeking new ways to support your health or simply curious about integrative wellness practices, this conversation offers plenty of inspiration and actionable insights.
