The Midlife Edit
The Midlife Edit Podcast is where reinvention meets a killer playlist.
Hosted by Jen Weinstein, this is your backstage pass to midlife — the unfiltered, unapologetic era where we stop chasing who we were and start owning who we’re becoming. From fitness and nutrition to mindset, mental health, family, and the soundtrack that got us here, every episode hits a different note of what it means to rewrite your story and rediscover your power.
Whether you’re lifting weights, lifting your mood, or just trying to hold it all together between school drop-offs and 90s playlists, Jen brings honest conversations, real-life advice, and the occasional rock lyric that reminds you: you’re not too old — you’re just getting started.
This is your comeback tour.
Your permission slip to evolve, not age.
Let’s make it a damn good chapter.

Perimenopause Is Not a Trend: Let’s Talk About the Real Problem with Social Media
✨ Episode Description:
In this episode of The Midlife Edit, I’m calling out the trendification of perimenopause—and why we should all be angry about it.
Recently, I heard someone say perimenopause is the “next big thing” in wellness. And while yes, it’s great that more women are finally talking about this stage of life… calling it a trend? That’s not it.
Worse? Social media is now flooded with fear-based messaging designed to sell you supplements, hormone “hacks,” and overnight transformations—all while making you feel broken, lost, or too late.
This week, I’m breaking down:
- Why perimenopause is not a trend (and never will be)
- The harm of fear-based marketing in midlife wellness
- How to spot social media red flags and take your power back
- What midlife women actually need to thrive through this transition
If you're tired of being sold to instead of supported, this episode is for you.
