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.

What happens when something you once loved starts to feel heavy?
In this episode of The Midlife Edit, we’re talking about movement - not the loud, dramatic, “burn it all down” kind, but the kind that’s intentional, sustainable, and honest. This conversation is rooted in fitness, perimenopause, and the very real fear of slipping backward after working hard to change your health.
If you’ve ever lost weight, rebuilt trust with your body, or become known as “the fitness person,” you might recognize the pressure that comes with it - the fear of old habits returning, the guilt around rest, and the panic that one missed workout could undo everything.
We talk about:
- Why perimenopause can change how fitness feels, not just how it looks
- The difference between discipline and panic
- Why gentleness does not mean laziness or giving up
- How fear can quietly start driving your fitness decisions
- What it actually takes to find joy in movement again
- Why adjusting your approach doesn’t erase your progress
This episode is about learning how to listen to your body without letting fear run the show - and how to stay committed to your health without burning yourself out in the process.
🎶 Song of the episode: Learning to Fly by Tom Petty
Because this season isn’t about stopping - it’s about learning how to move forward without crashing.
As we head into February, you’ll hear more guest conversations on the podcast alongside practical, how-to episodes focused on navigating midlife health, mindset, and change in a way that’s sustainable and real.
If fitness feels complicated right now, you’re not broken - and you’re not alone.
You’re learning to fly.
