Ever experienced emotional turbulence you couldn't explain or control? In this raw and revealing episode, I sit down with renowned mental health expert Dr. Juliana Hauser to uncover the profound neurological shifts occurring in our brains during perimenopause and menopause. If you've ever thought "I don't feel like myself anymore" or wondered why your emotional resilience has vanished, this conversation will be your lifeline.
Dr. Hauser courageously dismantles the persistent silence surrounding midlife mental health, illuminating how our changing hormones directly impact our mood regulation, anxiety levels, and even suicidal thoughts (which increase sevenfold during perimenopause). I share my own mental health breakdown that nearly destroyed my marriage and had me unable to get out of bed—all while no healthcare provider connected the dots to my hormonal changes. This isn't just another menopause episode; it's the mental health conversation that might save your life or the life of someone you love.
Dr. Juliana Hauser has a PhD in Counseling Education, is a TEDx speaker and the author of A New Position on Sex: A Guide to Greater Sexual Confidence, Pleasure, and Authenticity, coming September 2025.
Key Takeaways:
Your "mood swings" aren't character flaws but biological changes in how estrogen regulates your emotions and resilienceWomen are seven times more likely to have suicidal thoughts during perimenopause, yet most doctors never mention thisWhy it's nearly impossible to tell which midlife struggles are hormonal and which are circumstantial and why that distinction matters for treatmentHow to create your mental health safety net and the practical steps Dr. Hauser recommends for weathering the stormThe freedom and self-acceptance waiting on the other side of this transitionJuliana Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to find absolute joy and pleasure in life again!

Feeling disconnected from your personal style in midlife? In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Lisa Raja, midlife style expert and certified menopause coach, who reveals how fashion can be a powerful tool for reclaiming your confidence during times of physical change. Lisa shares her own journey through menopause (including the 25 pounds she gained and her struggle with self-image) and how this transformation led her to combine her 25 years of fashion expertise with menopause coaching. Our candid conversation unveils why so many of us stop making an effort with our appearance despite knowing how good it feels when we do.
Lisa offers practical wisdom on embracing your current body while still looking fabulous, explaining that your decades of experience aren't baggage—they're your most valuable asset. We explore how a single blazer can transform your look, why accessories are often overlooked game-changers, and the psychological impact of wearing beautiful undergarments just for yourself. Whether you're navigating workplace ageism, body changes, or simply stuck in a style rut, Lisa's insights will help you tap into the power of personal style as a form of self-care that radiates confidence in every area of your life!
The 7-11 Rule: In the first seven seconds of meeting someone, they make eleven judgments about you before you even open your mouth.Blazers Are Universal: Every woman should own at least one blazer - they frame your body beautifully, work with any outfit, and instantly make you look polished.Lingerie Is Self-Love: Beautiful undergarments aren't for others - they're a foundation of self-care and loving your body at every stage.Stop Hiding: Oversized, shapeless clothing can reinforce a hiding mentality - there are flattering options for every body type that showcase rather than conceal.Say No More: The best thing about midlife is finally prioritizing yourself without guilt and setting boundaries that protect your energy.
Key Takeaways:Lisa Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to take control of your life right now!

If you've ever felt silenced, stuck, or scared to share your deepest truths, this episode is your lifeline. I'm diving deep with storytelling expert Katherine Kennedy about the transformative power of speaking your authentic story - and why your voice matters more than you could ever imagine.
After last week's vulnerable episode about my own childhood trauma, I knew I needed to bring Katherine onto the show to explore how sharing our stories can heal, connect, and ultimately liberate us. Whether you're navigating midlife, wrestling with past experiences, or simply craving deeper connections, this conversation will inspire you to break your silence and step into your most powerful, unapologetic self.
Key Takeaways:
Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness - sharing your authentic story can create deeper connections and personal growth.The "three C's" storytelling framework (Challenge, Choice, Change) can help you process and understand your personal experiences.Many women struggle with people-pleasing and hiding their true feelings, which prevents genuine connection and self-understanding.Writing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery - just 6 minutes of reflective writing each morning can provide significant insights.Speaking your truth isn't about perfection, but about showing your authentic journey and the lessons learned along the way.Midlife offers a unique opportunity to care less about others' opinions and more about personal authenticity and growth.Sharing your story isn't just for you - it can inspire and help others who may be experiencing similar challenges, creating a ripple effect of healing and connection.Katherine Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to share what’s inside.

In this vulnerable episode, I peel back the curtain on my recent struggle with resurfacing childhood trauma. Despite years of therapy, I share how a recent interview unexpectedly reopened old wounds with my father, plunging me into a space of heaviness and contemplation. I reveal the raw moment when I broke down at lunch with friends, finally acknowledging the weight I'd been carrying and allowing myself to receive support instead of always giving it.
I offer this deeply personal story as a reminder that healing isn't linear and that even cheerleaders sometimes need their crowns fixed. If you've ever felt like you should be "over" something by now, or if you're struggling beneath a cheerful exterior while feeling broken inside, this episode will validate your experience and remind you that you're never alone in these complicated human emotions—and that asking for help might be exactly the medicine you need.
Key Takeaways:
Healing from childhood trauma is not a linear processThe power of vulnerability and seeking supportImportance of addressing emotional woundsStrategies for personal growth and self-discoveryFeeling difficult emotions rather than numbing themJen Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to do what you need to do to feel good.

In this powerful episode, I talk with multi-passionate midlife badass Tess Masters - 3x published author, health coach, podcast host, actress, and presenter. We dive deep into the concept of "It Has to Be Me" moments - those pivotal times when, despite fear and reservation, you decide to take action toward what your heart desires. Tess shares her journey creating the "It Has to Be Me" podcast, inspired by the transformative stories she witnessed through her health coaching. Our conversation explores the permission we need to give ourselves in midlife to finally listen to those whispers (that often become screams) about what we truly want.
This episode is your permission slip to embrace that voice inside telling you "It has to be me." Whether you're contemplating leaving a relationship, starting a business, setting boundaries, or pursuing a creative passion, Tess offers practical wisdom for overcoming fear and taking that first step. We unpack how midlife offers us the gift of knowing ourselves better, having more resources at our disposal, and caring less about external validation. If you're on the cusp of making a change but need inspiration and tools to push past fear, this conversation will empower you to take messy action toward your dreams.
Permission is the starting point“Failure” is simply not trying Fear and excitement activate in the same place in the body Your superpower is often what comes most naturally to you Think bigger than your big

In this episode, I sat down with my friend and luxury real estate expert Maile Mock to dive deep into the emotional journey of empty nesting - but with a powerful reframe. Instead of viewing it as an "empty nest," we explored the concept of becoming "free birds" and embracing this next chapter of life with excitement and possibility. Maile and I got real about why having our kids leave feels like losing a limb (because it kind of is!) and how the transition evolves from those raw early days of missing them desperately to finding a new rhythm and reconnecting with ourselves. The beauty of my conversation with Maile is that we're both in it right now!
We also tackled the practical side of empty nesting, particularly around housing decisions and partnerships. Through Maile's expertise in real estate, we discussed how couples can navigate different visions for their next chapter - whether that's downsizing, moving to the city, or finding that perfect lock-and-leave property that supports a more adventurous lifestyle. I loved exploring how we Gen Xers are rewriting the rules of midlife, with most of us viewing this as a time to start new ventures rather than winding down into traditional retirement. The key takeaway? It's time to give ourselves permission to dream big and explore possibilities we might have put on hold while raising our families. As Maile perfectly summed up - 50 is the new 30, and we have so much life ahead of us to create, grow, and embrace our free bird status.
Key Takeaways:
1. Empty Nesting is Hard - And That's OK
2. The Free Bird Mindset is Game-Changing
3. Dream Big But Try Before You Buy
4. 50 is the New 30 - Forget Traditional Retirement
5. Permission to Put Yourself First
Maile Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to go for it!

Are you holding yourself back from achieving your dreams? In this impactful and actionable episode, I dive deep into the five sneaky ways we often sabotage our own success, sharing personal stories and real-world examples from my own journey. From the lies we tell ourselves to the paralyzing fear of both failure and success, I'll help you identify these self-sabotaging behaviors that might be keeping you stuck.
If you've ever felt like everyone else has it figured out while you're still struggling to take action, or if you find yourself waiting for the "perfect time" that never seems to come, this episode will give you the wake-up call – and more importantly, the practical solutions – you need to finally get out of your own way and start making progress toward your goals.
5+ Ways You’re Holding Yourself Back:
Lies. We are really good at telling ourselves all the reasons we can’t do things. Comparisonitis. We think everybody else has this figured out. Fear. Every day, we fear failure (and even success sometimes!).Procrastination and overwhelm. We can’t wait for that perfect moment. Get focused and take action. Going it alone. We all need other people to help us on this journey.*Bonus* Thinking you're too old or it’s too late. YNTFO!You’re Not Too F***ing Old! To Do the Damn Thing!
