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.

Taking Control of Your Life – Career, Health, and Wealth with Alivia Lesinski
What does it really take to turn your life around when you’re feeling stuck? In this episode of The Midlife Edit, I sit down with the powerhouse that is Alivia Lesinski — a woman who has completely transformed her career, health, and finances through grit, intentionality, and a whole lot of delayed gratification.
From being broke and stuck in a dead-end job to earning her master’s degree, leading operations for a mission-driven company, and investing in multiple real estate properties — all while working a modest W2 job — Alivia’s story is proof that you don’t have to wait for “perfect conditions” to go after what you want.
We also dive into her incredible health journey, which included six surgeries in just three years, and how she managed to stay positive and keep moving forward through it all. And yes, we definitely talk about how she ended up dancing in the 2010 Olympics closing ceremonies!
If you’ve ever felt like your circumstances were holding you back, this conversation will inspire you to take control of what you can change — and start building the life you want.
