The Midlife Edit
Welcome to The Midlife Edit, the podcast for women who are navigating the beautiful, messy, and sometimes sweaty journey of midlife. This isn’t about a crisis—it’s about an awakening.
Join host Jen Weinstein as she dives into all the things no one warned us about—hot flashes, brain fog, strength training, hormone balancing, and figuring out who the hell we are now. With a mix of expert insights, real talk, and a little humor (because if we’re not laughing, we’re crying, right?), The Midlife Edit is your go-to space for embracing this season with confidence, strength, and balance.
Whether you’re trying to lift heavier, sleep better, set stronger boundaries, or just remember why you walked into a room, this podcast is here to remind you: midlife is not the end—it’s just an edit. And you get to rewrite it your way.
Hit subscribe and let’s tackle midlife together—one episode at a time.
