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.

10: Why the Quick Fixes Won't Save You From Sleepless Nights (And What to Do Tonight)
Imagine this: you finally get into bed exhausted. You drift off. And then like clockwork, it’s 3 a.m. You’re wide awake, staring at the ceiling, your mind racing through to-do lists and replaying conversations. By the time the alarm goes off, you feel like you never slept at all.
If that’s you, you are not alone. Midlife women everywhere are struggling with sleep and while we’re told it’s ‘just hormones’ or ‘just part of getting older,’ there’s actually a much bigger story happening underneath.
In today’s episode, you are going to find out:
- what’s really going on when your body refuses to rest
- why the quick fixes out there usually don’t work
- what you can start doing tonight to shift it.
Because when you finally sleep deeply again, you don’t just wake up rested - you wake up yourself.
So if you’ve been dragging yourself through the day on caffeine, wondering if this is just how it is now… this conversation is going to open up a whole new possibility.
