Midlife is hard, isn’t it? There are just so many transitions to navigate, so many unreasonable expectations whispering in our ears, so many new problems to walk through, and so much life going on all at once with a body that doesn’t cooperate like it once did.

Unfortunately, there are no quick or easy solutions to midlife, but I believe we can find healing for our midlife bodies. What follows is a list of awesome podcasts that touch on ALL of it—hormones, relationships, body image, trauma, healing, and more.
