Midlife Awakening, Authenticity & Reinventing Yourself After 50 (Without Losing Your Mind)

Somewhere between “be nice” and “be grateful,” a lot of women lost themselves.

This episode is for the women who woke up one day and thought, “Hang on… whose life am I living?”

Chandra and Jane talk about midlife awakening, authenticity, self-love, burnout recovery, and the complicated art of becoming yourself again — after decades of being the good daughter, the capable colleague, the reliable friend, the fun one.

We get into:

• Midlife identity crisis (the real one, not the convertible)

• Personal growth after 40 and 50

• Letting go of people-pleasing

• Reinventing yourself in midlife

• Female friendships and vulnerability

• Healing after burnout

• Career pivots for women

• Aging without disappearing

No therapy buzzwords.
No five-step glow-ups.
No pretending we’ve “arrived.”

Just honest conversation about mistakes, social expectations, creative reinvention, and why aging as a Gen X woman can feel equal parts freeing and mildly feral.

Because self-discovery in midlife isn’t aesthetic.

It’s messy.
It’s humbling.
It’s funny in hindsight.

And sometimes it sounds like:
“I think I’m done performing.”

If you’re navigating midlife reinvention, self-worth, authenticity, creative life after 50, or just trying to figure out who you are now — this is your people.
