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.

In this conversation, we chat about the evolving nature of holiday celebrations in our midlife. We share about the changes in our families, our traditions, and how that impacts us. We explore new ways of looking at things, creating new family traditions, embracing simplicity, and finding joy in the present moment while navigating feelings of nostalgia and loss.
