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.

Midlife Burnout: The Invisible Mental Load We’re All Carrying
So funny story… if you tried to listen to this episode earlier today, you probably got 30 minutes of intro music and then—nothing. Oops. 🙃 Honestly, if that doesn’t scream midlife burnout energy, I don’t know what does.
But we’re back, fully re-recorded, and this time with actual words. 😂
In this solo episode, I’m diving into burnout in midlife—the deep kind that comes from being everything for everyone while your own needs sit at the bottom of the list. We’ll talk about:
- What midlife burnout really looks like (it’s more than just being tired)
- The unique layer of stepmom burnout nobody really talks about
- The heartbreak of showing up for family when they don’t show up for you
- The invisible “mental load” we carry (physical, mental, emotional)
- Signs you’re carrying too much and how to finally put some of that weight down
Burnout doesn’t mean you’re failing—it just means you’ve been carrying too much, for too long. This episode is a reminder that you’re not alone, and it’s okay to prioritize yourself without guilt.
✨ And don’t miss the teaser at the end—next week we’re flipping the script with The Midlife Comeback Tour. Less burnout, more breakthrough. You’re not going to want to miss it.
