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.

Let’s talk.

Are you sitting on the side of the pool feeling bored, when all you have to do is jump in?
Host Lara Portelli is joined by Julie Hayes, who shares her "F*** it" moment that led her to realize she was bored and had lost herself by always creating social harmony for others. Julie talks about "synapse pruning"—cutting away the things you no longer want to tolerate, and how dropping the need to please everyone can reduce stress and make you feel more alive!
This episode is a great reminder to keep it simple, find out what truly makes you happy, and prioritize those "I'm alive" moments.
