Welcome to Part 1 of my brand-new series, Why Did Nobody Warn Us About This Shit?! – five no-holds-barred episodes exploring the real, raw, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking truths about midlife. Spoiler alert: It’s way more than hot flashes.

In this episode, I’m talking about the physical, emotional, and psychological curveballs no one prepared us for—

The 3:00 AM brain TED Talks
The unpredictable emotional rollercoaster
The friendships that fade or fall apart
The crippling nostalgia and wild irritability
The WTF moments where your own body ghosts you

Midlife isn’t just a season—it’s a f*cking plot twist. But you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re just in the thick of a transformation that deserves real tools, real support, and real community.

So let's talk about what really goes down in your 40s and 50s—and how to move through it without burning out, blowing up, or going it alone.

What You’ll Hear:

Why your emotions feel like toddlers with sugar and no supervision
Why you can't remember ANYTHING anymore.
The weird grief of changing or disappearing friendships
Why you crave peace and feel lonely at the same time
The lie that you’d be happy “once you had it all”
Why joy takes intention now (no more autopilot happiness)
What’s different for Gen X + elder millennials vs. our mothers
