Hosted by Lara Portelli, award-winning author, menopause and divorce mentor, and midlife rebel with a mic, this show is raw, real, and radically honest. It’s for those who’ve hit 40+ and decided they’re done playing small, done people-pleasing, and done following the damn rules.
On Midlife Unplugged, we rip off the masks and speak truth. From body changes to identity crises, breakups to reinventions, hot flashes to bold career pivots... nothing is off limits.
We have bodacious, unapologetic, purpose-driven guests who are ready to share their story with unfiltered honesty. If you’ve walked through fire, flipped the script, and found your power in the second act of life, this channel is for you!
This is your space to show up, swear if you need to, and inspire others with your truth.
Welcome to the F**K it years.
Let’s talk.

Laughter is the Best Medicine: How a Daily DOSE of Joy Combats Loneliness and Midlife Stress
In this episode, Lara talks with Cathy Nesbitt about midlife reinvention, the global mental health tsunami, and why laughter is more powerful than we think.
Cathy shares how laughter yoga works as a cardiovascular workout that reduces stress, shifts energy, and boosts immunity by changing our brain chemistry. She also introduces her DOSE method — Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins — the feel-good hormones released when we laugh.
They also explore navigating midlife, setting boundaries with technology, embracing change, and the freedom that comes from putting yourself first.
