You’re Not Alone: The Power of Sharing Midlife Stories

Have you ever found yourself wondering, Is it just me?

Is it just me feeling this mix of freedom and uncertainty… clarity and confusion… relief and longing?

One of the gifts of midlife is that we begin loosening our grip on being the “good girl.”
We stop editing ourselves quite so much — and start telling the truth.  

In This Episode

I’m joined by writers and editors Dina Aronson and Dina Alvarez, the co-editors of Midlife Private Parts — a bold anthology that explores what women are really experiencing in midlife.

We talk about:

• How they met in midlife, then built a friendship and creative partnership
• Why an anthology was the only honest way to hold these stories
• The freedom (and discomfort) that often shows up in this season
• Why building community is key at this age

This isn’t a conversation about fixing yourself.
It’s about allowing more of who you already are to come forward.

If you’ve been craving honest conversations about midlife — the kind that help you feel seen rather than improved — you’ll feel right at home here.
