The perfect midlife is the one you create for yourself, on your own terms.
— Christy Maguire

Our 40s can be a time of change, growth, loss, renewal, happiness, and rebirth. One of my guests pointed out that all too often our society is focused on those under 35 and over 50. What about all of us in between?

If you are hitting midlife and struggling to find your way, looking for a new adventure, or seeking wisdom and understanding, you’re in the right place.

You’ll find stories about setting off in new directions, dealing with loss, adapting to changing family landscapes, unleashing your voice, and discovering how to build a life that is intentional and deeply personal.

Wherever you are in life, I hope these stories leave you inspired.

I am passionate about amplifying women’s voices and rewriting tired narratives about midlife. Leading up to my 45th birthday, I had a midlife crisis. I could call it an “awakening,” but that’s not what it felt like at the time. I questioned everything I knew. Starting the podcast was a healing exercise for me. Now, I’m focused on exploring how to live your best midlife through writing.

I’m a communications coach, storyteller, and writer. I live in Washington, DC and am just two years away from an empty nest. I’d love to hear from you, so please say hello. Thanks for stopping by!
