This one’s special — because you helped create it.
In honor of Thanksgiving, I asked listeners to share what they’re feeling most grateful for in midlife. And your answers were so good! They’re honest, hilarious, heartfelt, and full of that signature midlife “F-it” energy we all know and love.
Today’s episode is a crowdsourced roundup of what real women 40+ are grateful for right now — from better relationships with our bodies, to boundaries that finally stick, to friendships that really matter.
Whether you’re juggling work, perimenopause, kids, aging parents, a chin hair you swear wasn’t there yesterday, or all of the above, this episode is a reminder that there’s still so much good in this wild stage of life.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The top themes midlife women say they’re grateful for
Why gratitude hits differently in your 40s and 50s
What’s changing in how we relate to our bodies
The rise of boundaries & dropping the people-pleasing
The power of women supporting women (and why it matters now more than ever)
Reflections on raising teens and giving fewer f***s
My own takeaways from your beautiful submissions
Why this episode matters for midlife women
It’s easy to get swallowed by the chaos of midlife — hormones, careers, family, relationships, the mental load… the list is long. Sometimes we forget to actually notice what’s working.
This episode gives you a chance to pause, reflect, and see yourself in the stories of other women walking the same path.
