Summary

We’re excited to introduce My So-Called Midlife, a new podcast by Reshma Saujani and Lemonada Media. “Is this it?” That’s the question our host Reshma Saujani asks herself daily. She’s the founder of two successful nonprofits, she’s married to a great guy, and she’s raising two beautiful children. She’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted, so why does she feel so unsatisfied? Is this a woman’s version of a midlife crisis?

She’s determined to figure it out, and with the strength of her group chat behind her, she’s calling in reinforcements. From conversations with Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Emily Oster, Cheryl Strayed, and more, Reshma’s going to help us all figure out how we stop trying to just get through this time of life… and actually start living it.

Here’s a sneak peek of episode one of My So-Called Midlife. Listen as Reshma chats with Julia Louis-Dreyfus about why her 50s have been the best decade of her life.

0:32.0	or if this is all life has to offer?
0:35.0	So Reshma has created my so-called midlife with Lemonade Media to rewrite the

1:06.9	Midlife is a cluster fuck if I'm going to be really honest. At 51 years old, I'm starting to navigate the ebbs and flows of the
1:15.4	unknown. What it looks like for me now is kissing my husband of 25 years good night
1:21.6	at about 8 o'clock at night hanging to my separate
1:24.8	bedroom where I need to have the AC set at 61 degrees due to my hot flashes.
1:29.3	It's not knowing what Priscilla is going to show up today. It is being seen as an
