Welcome! If you've found your way here, you're likely navigating the wild waters of women’s midlife health and aging, a time of immense change, unexpected challenges, and surprising opportunities. Our podcast, Welcome to Crazy, delves right into the heart of this experience, and this blog post expands on a core question: why "crazy" is the perfect word to describe it. In this post, we will examine the chaos, unpredictability, liberation, and transformation that define midlife and how to embrace it. So, let’s dive into the ‘crazy’!

Welcome to Crazy: Embracing the Beautiful, Bizarre, and Bold Side of Midlife

Welcome to Crazy Stupid Midlife—where everything feels a little upside down, but somehow more real than ever.

In our second episode, we’re swinging the doors wide open and inviting you into what this podcast is really all about: the beautiful, bizarre, and bold reality of life in the middle. Because let’s be honest—midlife isn’t just confusing… it’s hilarious, humbling, wildly unpredictable, and (if you let it) downright magical.

We’re Renee and Dannielle, two longtime friends riding the rollercoaster of midlife right alongside you. Between us, we’ve got career pivots, hormone storms, teenagers testing every boundary, and identity shifts that make us question everything from our wardrobe to our life’s purpose. Some days we’re losing it, some days we’re crushing it—but every day, we’re showing up and doing it together.

If you’ve ever felt like midlife is pulling you in every direction but somehow also pushing you toward your most powerful, authentic self—girl, you’re in the right place.

The Crazy We’re Talking About…

This isn’t the buttoned-up, “smile and power through” version of midlife. Nope. This is the raw, messy, beautiful truth. We’re talking about:

• Feeling crazy angry (because teenagers, hormones, and life).

• Feeling crazy overwhelmed (because how did life get this busy?).

• But also feeling crazy grateful.

• Crazy good opportunities that come when you least expect them.

• And those crazy magical moments when you realize you’re stronger, wiser, and more badass than ever before.

Why Crazy Stupid Midlife?

Because midlife can make you feel like you're losing your mind—but also finding your soul. It’s a time where everything shifts—your body, your relationships, your career, your sense of self—but those shifts? They can open doors to things you never imagined.

We’re here to normalize the chaos, to laugh through the tears, and to remind you that midlife isn’t the end of your story—it’s the start of your most powerful chapter yet.

So whether you’re yelling in the car, dancing in the kitchen, or just trying to hold it all together—know this: you’re not alone. We’re right here with you, riding the waves, embracing the crazy, and leaning into the beautiful mess of it all.

Because crazy is just the beginning! In our next episode, we’re diving into the stupid stuff—those moments that make you laugh, cringe, and wonder, "Did I really just do that?" Midlife is packed with stupid decisions, stupid funny moments, and stupid good lessons.

Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
