Is midlife a crisis or an awakening? in this episode of The Invisibles, Yakiry, Jaclyn and I are talking about that season — the in-between space where we’re too old to be young, too young to be old, and still very much becoming. We share how we’re finding joy and creativity, sometimes in small, unexpected ways, and what this chapter is teaching us about letting go — of roles, relationships, expectations, and old versions of ourselves. And because midlife isn’t just about looking back, we name what we’re most excited about in the years ahead. Midlife might just be the most powerful and liberating chapter yet!

Adulthood came with a lot of fine print nobody bothered to mention… and for many of us, that fine print showed up as night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, and a body that suddenly felt like it had a mind of its own. In this episode, we’re talking about that season — perimenopause and menopause — the moment you first noticed your body was changing and thought, “Wait…what is happening?” We share how we learned what perimenopause really is (beyond the jokes and whispers), the symptoms that blindsided us, and the funniest, most ridiculous “WTF” moments along the way. This episode is for every woman just starting to wonder “is it hot in here or is it just me? And for everyone who loves her.

We kick off this crazy podcast adventure with my dear friend and sorority sister Marjorie, my free-spirited friend Darius, and my best friend Tremayne. We talk about Making Grown Up Decisions, which includes a discussion about what success means to us now and lessons learned.
