Crazy Stupid Midlife Podcast

Welcome to Crazy Stupid Midlife—the podcast for smart, powerful women who are rewriting the rules of what life looks like in midlife.

Because midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a comeback. A career change, a confidence glow-up, a rediscovery of what really matters. Whether you’re leveling up, starting over, or finally putting yourself first, we’re here with the laughs, the wisdom, and the “WTF is happening to my skin?” moments. From women’s health and wellness to aesthetics, aging boldly, and personal growth, we’re talking about all the crazy, stupid, beautiful parts of being a woman in midlife.

Welcome to Lions, Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

Show Notes

This week, we’re stepping into the wilderness of midlife — careers shifting, creativity stretching, and the occasional emotional bear attack.

In this honest check-in episode, we unpack what we’ve been navigating lately using a little metaphor magic:

Lions for the bold moves we’ve made (like launching this podcast and starting new jobs)
Tigers for the fears and wild cards we didn’t see coming
Bears for the burnout, boundaries, and the deep craving for rest

From Dannielle’s new telehealth role and navigating important life decisions, to Renee wrangling podcast systems and prepping to teach four subjects next year — we’re talking about what it really feels like to be in the thick of it.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it might just make you feel a little less alone in your own wild.
