Why did I walk into this room? What was I saying? And… how many kids do I have again?

In this episode of The Midlife Mud, we talk all things midlife memory—forgetfulness, brain fog, and the anxiety that creeps in with it. From personal slip-ups to honest talk about Alzheimer’s fears, we explore what’s actually happening in our brains and how stress, hormones, and multitasking play a role.

It’s less about fixing it and more about naming it, sometimes reframing it, and of course, realizing we’re not the only ones.

Midlife hits different—and so does confidence. It’s not some magic switch you flip. It’s more like fumbling in the dark, trying not to trip over all the crap life threw your way.

In this episode, Morgan and Chris drop the polite nonsense and get honest about:
– Why your body feels like an enemy some days (and how that wrecks your confidence)
– The end of “fake it till you make it” and the start of “just being me”
– Why needing everyone’s approval is exhausting—and how to give yourself a break
– How to handle uncertainty without losing your cool (or pretending you don’t have it)

This is confidence stripped down—no filters, no perfection, just raw, messy, real life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re winging it, good news: you’re not alone.

Showing up imperfectly is the new confident.

This episode of The Midlife Mud is all about resentment—that sneaky, simmering emotion that drains your energy, messes with your relationships, and makes you feel like the world owes you something.

Morgan and Chris break down where resentment comes from (think: unmet expectations, shaky boundaries, and self-abandonment), how to spot it, and how to start letting it go. With real-life stories, some uncomfortable truths, and a few laughs, they're figuring out how to stop dragging that emotional deadweight through midlife.

Because holding onto resentment doesn’t make you strong—it just makes you tired.
