The Midlife Closet Clean-Out: What No Longer Fits—In Your Wardrobe and Your Life

Jen Weinstein Season 1 Episode 14

Do you ever open your closet and wonder why you’re still holding onto that one dress from ten years ago—or those jeans that belong to another version of you?

In this week’s episode of The Midlife Edit, we’re diving into the powerful metaphor of the closet clean-out. But spoiler alert: this episode goes far beyond fashion. We're talking about all the things in midlife that may no longer “fit”—from outdated beliefs to draining relationships, worn-out habits, and roles we’ve outgrown.

I’ll walk you through:

  • Why your physical closet reflects deeper layers of identity
  • The four areas of life that deserve a fresh edit (mindsets, relationships, habits, roles)
  • How to let go without guilt and make space for who you're becoming
  • A mindset shift that reframes midlife not as a crisis, but as a beautifully intentional reset

This episode is your permission slip to say, “This no longer fits—and that’s okay.”
