First Time Moms Beyond 35

Isabel Prosper created First Time Moms Beyond 35 to fill a gap that most parenting podcasts ignore entirely: the experience of becoming a mother for the first time after age 35. In a world that still treats "advanced maternal age" like a diagnosis, Isabel's show is a space where later-in-life moms can feel normal instead of geriatric. The show has 56 episodes mixing solo reflections with guest interviews, typically running 11 to 27 minutes. It's a quick listen, which makes sense for the audience -- women who are likely juggling established careers and busy lives alongside new motherhood. Topics range from fertility journeys and pregnancy at 35+ to hormonal shifts, perimenopause overlap, children's health concerns, and the specific joys of having one child. Isabel interviews fellow moms who had their first baby later in life, and these personal stories are the heart of the show. Hearing other women talk about the unique anxieties (higher-risk pregnancy monitoring, generational gaps with other new parents) and unexpected advantages (financial stability, emotional maturity, career perspective) of later motherhood is genuinely comforting. She also brings on integrative health practitioners for episodes on mineral balancing, hormone optimization, and wellness approaches. The show hasn't released new episodes since November 2024, but holds a perfect 5.0 rating from its reviewers. The niche focus is both its strength and its limitation -- if you became a first-time mom after 35, this podcast speaks directly to your experience in a way that no general parenting show does. The existing episodes create a supportive community archive that remains relevant regardless of release schedule.
