The Midlife Edit
The Midlife Edit is for the woman who still has a favorite album from 1994 and a whole second act she hasn't written yet. Hosted by Jen Weinstein — honest conversations, real guests, zero apologies for who you're becoming.
The Midlife Edit
We Were Taught to Admire Her. Not Be Her.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We celebrate strong women.
The bold ones.
The loud ones.
The ones who take up space and break the rules.
But if you’re a Gen X or millennial woman…
you probably weren’t raised to be her.
You were raised to admire her.
To be likable.
To be easy.
To go with the flow.
To say, “I’m good with anything.”
In this episode, I’m talking about what that actually did to us—
how we learned to fit in instead of figure ourselves out,
and why so many of us are just now asking:
what do I actually want?
As Women's History Month comes to a close, this is a different kind of conversation—
about the gap between the women we celebrate…
and the way we were taught to be.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been shape-shifting your whole life just to belong—
this one’s for you.
