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 Is the Era of Reinvention (Part 2) - Season 1 Finale
Season 1 Finale
Midlife reinvention isn’t about blowing up your life or becoming a completely new person. It’s about learning how to keep becoming...without burnout, rigidity, or guilt.
In this Season 1 finale of The Midlife Edit, Jen dives into the practical side of reinvention and what it actually looks like week to week, inside real life with real responsibilities, shifting energy, and ever-changing seasons.
This episode moves beyond mindset and inspiration and into sustainable rhythms. She talks about how to build routines that support you, stay consistent without being all-or-nothing, and keep evolving without losing momentum.
Jen introduces the idea of rhythms over rules, explains why minimum effective routines work better in midlife, and shares a simple weekly framework to help you edit your life intentionally instead of forcing perfection.
You’ll also hear what’s coming in Season 2...including more conversations around music, strength, confidence, identity, libido, blended families, and all the in-between topics we don’t talk about enough...plus a heartfelt reflection on why starting this podcast was a vision board moment that finally came to life.
This episode is a reminder that midlife isn’t the era where you finally arrive.
It’s the era where you stop freezing yourself in place.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Why reinvention doesn’t work when it’s rigid or extreme
- The difference between rules and rhythms in midlife
- What reinvention really looks like in ordinary weeks
- The “Weekly Edit” and how to use it without pressure
- Creating routines that don’t lead to burnout
- Why consistency is about returning, not perfection
- How to evolve your goals without losing momentum
- Why 2026 can be a continuation year instead of “new year, new me”
- A preview of what’s coming in Season 2 of The Midlife Edit
- Gratitude, reflection, and closing out Season 1 with intention
