I'm Susie! Mom, wife, podcast host, and a woman figuring out midlife right alongside you.
Somewhere along the way, I stopped hearing my own voice.
After years of showing up for everyone else, raising a family, building a career, and quietly wondering, what about me? I realized I wasn't alone.
That's why I created Own Your Midlife. A space for women 40+ figuring out who they are now and owning who they're becoming next.
We talk about confidence, relationships, hormones, reinvention, identity, health, purpose, and all the questions that can show
up in this season.
So if you’re done putting yourself last and ready to rebuild your confidence, stop shrinking, and start owning your life again, this is for you!
You’ll leave feeling clearer, more confident, and ready to stop
waiting for permission.

“Wow... this podcast feels like sitting down with a wise, honest friend who just gets it. I love how real and relatable the conversations are-nothing sugarcoated, just genuine support for everything midlife brings. From hormones to identity shifts to reinvention, it's all covered in such a comforting and empowering way. Ilalways walk away feeling seen, inspired, and a little more excited about what's next. Highly recommend for any woman navigating this beautifully messy season of life!”
“I'm 45 and a mom of four young kids.... My biggest goal is to be healthy and active in this perimenopause season. Finding research is so hard because there's so much on the Internet, podcasts like this really make life easier for busy moms like me. The research is done already, I love podcasts like this.... Thank you, Susie for doing the work for me and getting all the good information that I need to balance my Busy life.”
“I love Susie's encouraging and grounded approach to helping midlife women through this challenging and transformative time of life! Her heart and passion for helping us really own our midlife shines through in each episode. The episodes are also binge-worthy and actionable! I've been making my way through them a little each day and learn something each time.
Thank you, Susie!”
