This is a RAW AND OFF-THE-CUFF with me again.
Another episode of me talking about midlife. I believe Midlife happens in stages. I talk a little bit about my experience especially in the early Midlife stage. (I think that the stages of Midlife weirdly correspond with the decades (early-your 40s, mid-your 50s, late-your 60s, kind of like the Medieval period. Weird.) GIve it a listen. I hope you like it.
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.
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.
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.
