Yvette Nicole Brown says being single with no kids in midlife is something to be proud of. At 53, sheâs about to walk down the aisle for the first time and sheâs happy she waited. All the while, sheâs been busy caregiving for her father. In 2013, her dad first started showing signs of Alzheimer's, so Yvette broke her contract with the beloved comedy series, Community, and took him into her home to take care of him. Yvette and Reshma talk about falling in love at 50, caregiving for elderly parents, and how the decision to leave her full-time acting job was a no-brainer.

âYouâre in menopause. Any questions?â Thatâs the brief message a doctor sent to journalist Tamsen Fadal after she almost passed out one day at work. She was 49. And she did have questions. So she took it upon herself to talk to OBGYNs, neuroscientists and hormone experts about whatâs happening to our bodies during this pivotal time in our lives. All her work is compiled into a new documentary, The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. We talked to Tamsen about how menopause affects the brain, why many doctors are hesitant to prescribe hormone replacement therapy, and the benefits of watching her film with your loved ones (hint: itâs so they understand wtf youâre going through!).

Best selling author and advice columnist Cheryl Strayed isnât looking back. Sheâs taking a front seat to her post menopause years so much so that sheâs given it a name â the âcrone age.â Cheryl shares why sheâs excited about this next stage of her life and what sheâs learned from her iconic advice column Dear Sugar. Plus she gets real about grief and why we shouldn't wait for the âdeathbed moment.â

Divorce therapist Oona Metz takes us through the ups and downs of marriage, from fighting to making up to ending the relationship to dating after divorce. She tells us why we shouldnât fight dirty (we all do it, right??), the difference between leaving a relationship and ending a relationship, how to make up in front of kids, and how to know when itâs time to go. Plus, why women get more sleep *after* divorce, and why women wait until midlife to leave! You donât wanna miss this one!

Chelsea Clinton would rather focus on the change she wants to see in the world than think about her age. Thatâs why we thought sheâd be a perfect guest as we all count down the hours until Election Day. (I mean, how do we not let this election age us!?) As the author of several children's books, she gives us tips on talking to kids about big topics like abortion and climate change. Plus, what she learned from her mom, Hillary Clinton, about aging, why she doesnât care much for birthdays, and how she makes time for friends, even if it is just a phone call.

Now in her midlife, sheâs made that dream come true â and sheâs the first Black woman to do so.

Literally, if she can manage to do it â it gives us all hope. Plus, we hear about her new love of boxing, why itâs OK to sometimes say no, and how gospel music keeps her going throughout the day.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is about to officially graduate from midlife. At 63, she can confidently say that the last thirty years were⊠great, actually! Is it because she won multiple Emmys? Or maybe because she called out age biases in Hollywood by starring in Amy Schumerâs Last F*ckable Day? Well, along with these milestones, Julia suffered a ton of loss and hardship in her 50s. So why does she say it's her best decade? Itâs all about the mindset. Plus, why Julia has 15,000 unread emails in her inbox -- and doesn't care.
Find Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Instagram @officialjld and listen to her podcast, Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus
