Midlife Unplugged TV Show
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.

E6: Holly McCusker - I'm Choosing Me (Not Just Waiting to be Chosen)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Life doesn’t always fall apart one piece at a time, and sometimes it all hits at once.
Lara sits down for a deeply honest conversation with Holly McCusker, who opens up about losing both parents, her career, and her engagement in a very short span of time.
Holly shares how hitting rock bottom forced her out of survival mode and into a deeper journey of healing, self-trust, and coming home to herself. They talk about dropping the masks, feeling safe in your own body, breaking generational patterns, and shifting from waiting to be chosen to choosing yourself (and your partner). Dating, inner child work, and learning to love yourself in your second act—it’s all on the table.
If you’ve ever felt like midlife cracked you open instead of breaking you down, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
