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.

Full Throttle After 50: How Louisa Swaden Became the Fastest Woman on Sand
In this high-octane episode of The Midlife Edit, Jen sits down with Louisa Swaden — UK Land Speed Record Holder, member of the 200 MPH Club, and the fastest woman to ever ride a motorbike on sand at Pendine Sands in Wales.
But Louisa didn’t start breaking records in her twenties — she did it all after turning 50. While juggling family life and grandmother duties, she rewrote what midlife can look like and proves that reinvention has no age limit.
We talk about how she got into motorbiking, what it’s like to chase world records, and how birthdays, age, and adrenaline can fuel your boldest dreams. Louisa also shares how her newest book The Stoic Rider is inspiring people far beyond the biking community to live with intention and purpose.
🧭 What We Talk About:
- How Louisa got into land speed racing later in life
- Facing fear and pushing past limits at 200+ mph
- Why midlife is the perfect time for reinvention
- The mindset shift that changed everything
- The inspiration behind her new book The Stoic Rider
- Her upcoming U.S. tour and free journaling companion guide
