Messy Midlife
Messy Midlife is what happens when three women, all naturopathic doctors and one a therapist, going through midlife, pull up a chair to talk honestly. It is all on the table - hormones, families, burnout, and rediscovering who we are. It’s unfiltered, funny, and healing, like eavesdropping on the table of women who just get it.

Politics But Not Political - The Messy Midlife Way
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we explore the complexities of navigating personal and political challenges during midlife. We tackle the impact of political polarization on emotional well-being, the intertwining of health and politics, and the importance of authentic expression. It's us, so of course we end up finding our way to the need for radical acceptance, community connection, and intentional engagement in a world filled with uncertainty and division. We work out our next steps for finding clarity and peace amidst the chaos, without trying to bright side the reality.
