Midlife Reframed
Midlife Reframed is a podcast for people who are done accepting the narrow, outdated story about what midlife is supposed to look like at work and in life.
We host honest, unscripted conversations about careers, ambition, identity, reinvention, money, power, health, and the messy middle that rarely gets named out loud. This is a space where lived experience matters. Where we challenge research, headlines, and cultural narratives that quietly limit opportunity, especially for women and others navigating systemic bias as they age.
Some episodes feature personal stories and real-time reflection. Others bring in guests who are building, leading, pivoting, and questioning the systems they operate in. All of them are grounded in one shared belief. Midlife is not a decline. It is data. It is wisdom. It is leverage.
Midlife Reframed is not about fixing yourself. It is about reclaiming the frame.

Why Midlife Feels Like Freedom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore how our definition of success evolves across the decades. From our twenties through our forties, success shifts from proving ourselves to others, to expanding our influence, and ultimately to redefining fulfillment on our own terms.
We reflect on personal stories from early career pressure, imposter syndrome, and identity-building in our twenties. The conversation then moves into the thirties, where ambition often intensifies, leadership opportunities emerge, and personal milestones like parenthood reshape priorities. Finally, we unpack the clarity that often comes in our forties, when balance, relationships, and well-being begin to matter as much as professional achievement.
This episode offers thoughtful insight for anyone navigating midlife or simply questioning what success really means at different stages of life. It’s a candid conversation about growth, confidence, and giving yourself permission to redefine the win.
