Midlife on Fire
This podcast is to gather stories of women in midlife. We will talk about our lives and the insights, lessons and experiences we've had so far in midlife. There are lessons in every story. Through stories we can connect and resonate with others experiences and take in the lessons and know that we are not alone.

This is a RAW AND OFF-THE-CUFF discussion with me and a guest.
Midlife on Fire is an anthology book series and a podcast and exists to continue the discussion about what we, as women, encounter in midlife. Promoting, amplifying, supporting women in midlife.
The anthology and the podcast showcase stories from women who experience this potentially tumultuous part of their lives as a reordering, maybe a reckoning, and always as a rebirth as vital voices in the dialogue of life, love and art.
I want to find women for guests on my podcast who have stories to tell about how they are defying our societies demands on women in midlife. Demands to disappear, to go quietly, to accept their place that is no place. Women who defy the antiquated notion that as women age they become less useful, less valuable, and the only power we ever had was our youth. Women coming out into the light and do it in their own way, carving out space for themselves that not redefine them, but rather find the manifestation of the real essence of the human buried beneath the expectations of society.
