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.

When You Lose Yourself (And How to Come Back Home)
Have you ever looked at your calendar and realized every single thing on it is for someone else?
This week, Jen talks about what it really feels like to lose yourself in midlife — not in one big moment, but in a thousand tiny compromises. From the emotional and financial strain of stepmom life to walking on eggshells at home, she shares how women disappear quietly while trying to keep the peace.
This isn’t a pity party.
This is a comeback episode.
You’ll hear about:
- the invisible load women carry
- the truth about stepmom life
- emotional surveillance and hypervigilance
- why repeated promises without action lead to resentment
- how to stop apologizing for existing
- and how to put yourself back on the list
Jen reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s necessary — and declares 2026 the year of ME.
Your life doesn’t need to be burned down to be rebuilt.
You just have to walk back into it as yourself.
Your comeback begins when you put your name back on the list.
