Midlife Rising
This is not just another midlife podcast about belly fat, Botox, or bone broth.
We’re not here to help you stay young, offer makeup tips, or share recipes to sneak kale into your brownies. If you’re looking for hacks to stay small or “age gracefully,” this might not be the space for you.
We’re here to burn down the old rulebook - and help you rise from the ashes.
We unpack the invisible systems and internalized conditioning that keep midlife women stuck, over-functioning, and exhausted. We talk about the links between patriarchy, stress, and menopause symptoms. This is the conversation behind the conversation—raw, wise, and necessary.
We’re Sheri and Jen - twin sisters, former “good-girls” turned paradigm-breakers, and your new favourite midlife truth-tellers. Our unfiltered conversations crack open the things women don’t say out loud. We’re here to offer you the tools, re-frames, and permission slips to finally stop performing and start becoming.
Expect “why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?!” kinds of insights, advice to nix your menopause symptoms without HRT, and paradigm-shifting “aha” moments that make you want to take your power back.
So if you’re ready to stop performing, and rise into the woman you were always meant to be - pull up a chair. We saved you a seat.

2: The Unsaid Truth About Menopause
You might think that in today’s world, we can talk about menopause. We say, think again.
Of course, it’s become more normal to share the hot flash humour with your friends or how hard it has suddenly become to get a night’s sleep without a 2-hour wake-up in the middle of it.
At the same time, 90% of women in their 40’s and 50’s do not know the symptoms of menopause, research shows that the majority of women hide their symptoms at work for fear of judgement, and many women still carry around a lot of shame around hitting this developmental milestone.
In this episode, we unpack where this silence and shame came from, how it plays out in life and work, and what to do about it.
We believe that the more women who release the shame and share their experiences of aging and menopause, the more women will actually age gracefully, with fewer symptoms and more inspiration.
You’ll come away knowing how to find
- connection in the sometimes lonely world of midlife
- courage to speak louder about it so more women feel supported and safe
- and compassion for yourself for what you’re going through
