Women in the Middle: Loving Life After 50

Suzy Rosenstein has been doing this for a long time, and it shows. With 455 episodes, a 4.8-star rating from nearly 300 reviewers, and a Master Certified Life Coach credential, she has built Women in the Middle into one of the most trusted voices for women navigating life after 50. The show alternates between solo episodes where Suzy works through a concept in depth and interviews with guests who bring their own expertise on aging, careers, relationships, and self-reinvention. The tone lands in a sweet spot between professional coaching and candid personal reflection. Suzy talks about her own midlife experiences -- including how she caught herself living on autopilot -- alongside practical frameworks for making changes. Recent episodes have explored wildlife rehabilitation as a metaphor for renewal, overcoming fear after 50, and how art journaling helped her stay present during a difficult stretch. She is not afraid to sit with uncomfortable topics. What makes this show particularly valuable is the framing of life after 50 as genuinely good news, not something to endure. She pushes back hard against the narrative that your best years are behind you, but does it with evidence and personal stories rather than empty cheerfulness. Weekly episodes keep the momentum going, and the back catalog is deep enough that you could spend months catching up on topics that matter to you. It has spawned a companion show focused on entrepreneurship for women over 50, which tells you something about how engaged the audience is.
