What’s Your Ex? is a weekly podcast for women 40+ navigating career change, midlife reinvention, starting over, and the question of what comes next.

We talk about the careers, dreams, identities, businesses, roles, and versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown—or had to leave behind—and how those experiences can become part of what we build next.

Because starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch.

If you’re changing direction, figuring out who you are without an old title, wondering whether it’s too late to begin again, or trying to turn everything you’ve learned into a new chapter, you’re in the right place.

Expect honest, practical conversations about reinvention, courage, identity, purpose, career pivots, and building a life that fits who you are now.

New episodes every week.

So—What’s Your Ex?

For Happy People: You have an ex you've never talked about. It's not a person, and it's been running your life quietly for years. This show is about that ex. Because we all have them, and I'm not talking about people. I'm talking about the job that let you go, the dream you quietly buried, the whole version of yourself you walked away from, and still think about. Here's the part nobody tells you. None of it was wasted. Every one of those chapters was preparing you for something, and you probably can't see it yet. Welcome! I'm Marilie. This is the What's Your Ex? podcast, the show about who we used to be and how it was all preparation for who we are becoming. This isn't about erasing your past and starting over. It's about a twist you don't see coming, that the detour was the path, that you were never behind, you were being built. Every week, one honest conversation, one idea that flips how you see a chapter you thought you failed at. So here's my question for you. Who were you being prepared to be this whole time? Follow the show, let's go find out.
