The first #midlifetop10 ‘Ten Women Who Inspire Midlife Women‘ was so well received that I’ve decided to do top ten lists in different areas for midlife women. Here I spotlight, in my opinion, the top ten valuable podcasts for midlife women.
I will be perfectly frank (as only a native New Yorker can be). I only know these women through their social media, blogs, books, podcasts, etc. Nevertheless, their presence, their work, and their lives inspire me. We have never met in person, yet I feel I know them, perhaps better than some family members, because they share their life, their time, their work, their talent, their art, and continue to build communities for their fellow woman. Please know this: Never think you, or your work doesn’t matter. It does. Someone is hearing your message. Admiring you. Being inspired by you. So please, continue being you.
You do not make changes by changing people. You lead by example and those who are ready will rise. ~ CinDiLo
1. Betty Mabel, Alberta, Canada, is the host of ‘I Just Need To Talk About This.’ Podcast. Armed with her phone, address book, and inquiring mind, she, and her guests will regale you with stories from their past, unsolicited advice, and more laughs than you thought possible.
Her favorite episode is Season 2, Episode 1 where she and Darcey talk about being bisexual/queer women.
Betty has a soft spot for middle aged, or as she likes to call it, goddess-aged women (I just LOVE that!) to land and get loved up, laughed up, be seen, and heard. Join the sisterhood weekly for your dose of sister-friend time. Who knows, the next person she may be calling is YOU! Listening to the chat is like hanging with your best girlfriends. Her IG: @iambettymabel
2. Gianna Miceli, of New York, New York is the host of the Gianna Miceli Show Podcast. Gianna shows women how to get and stay Sexy & Fabulous over age 40, and go through menopause all naturally! Happy, healthy, & hot!
She says her favorite episode is 5 Things Women Should Know About How to Lose Weight not only because she unleashes on the nonsense and propaganda that the medical establishment and pharmaceutical reps tell doctors to tell women that is so beyond false, misleading, totally not helpful, and she dares to say…..criminal. Her IG: @msgiannamiceli
3. Suzy Rosenstein, of Toronto, Canada, is Podcaster for Women In The Middlie Podcast
4. Marie Perrigo, Julie King, Nashville, TN and Mindy Sillyman, Philadelphia, PA, are the women who host midlifematterspodcast.com
5. Liz Applegate, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., is host of the Midlife Schmidlife Podcast The podcast can be found on Apple, Tune-In, Stitcher, Spotify and all other places where podcasts can be found.Midlife Schmidlife helps women over the age of 40 create a life they love.
6. Valerie Albarda, Cramerton, North Carolina, Her IG: @midlifeagogo
7. Michelle Newman, of Frederick, Maryland, U.S.A., is the host of The New Mid PodcastThe New Mid is a frank, funny look at women in midlife and their day-to day-struggles and successes, as well as the big stuff – questions about meaning, fulfillment and happiness.
Michelle says “asking me to pick one favorite episode is like asking me to pick my favorite child! Each new episode is my best!” I can definitely relate to that, I feel that as a writer all of the time. She recently interviewed some medical specialists about the Coronavirus to get the “truth” about what’s going on and what information we need to know.
So many people from her community reached out to her to express how much they appreciated the episode about social media or how they went out and found an Integrative Medical Doctor or got tested for food sensitivities.
Michelle’s intent, with every episode, is to give friendly advice from experts to make life a little easier. We’re redefining what it means to be in midlife. Some midlifers, like Michelle, have young children. Others are empty nesters or have never been married. Even though it might seem like we’re at different points with family and careers, we’re all very much the same when it comes to night sweats, weight gain, and body aches we didn’t have before. The whole reason she created this show was to help people however she can to live an abundant second half! Her IG: @thenewmid
8. Lori Massicot, Southern California, U.S.A., is host to To 50 and Beyond a podcast which celebrates women over 40. It’s where wellness, sobriety, and empowerment meet. Her IG: @lorimassicot
9. Coach Christine, Philadelphia Area, PA, U.S.A., is the host of The Empty Nest Coach Podcast
The podcast is her gift to mothers of high school students (and beyond) who are freaking out about the empty nest ahead: my goal is to take my listeners from freaking out to feeling freaking awesome!
Coach Christine says her favorite episode would have to be Episode #29 “Christine, what will I do with my time, and what should I do next?” She explains “While I’ve grown incredibly as a podcaster and as a human since that episode’s airing, it is my favorite because it is was the first episode where I decided to go all-in on using analogies and concepts more in-depth than I had up until that moment. The idea of simmering that came out of that episode is one I use daily now, and it has been the basis of everything I’ve done since. Her IG: @emptynestcoach ?

10. Dr.Shannon Gulbranson, New York, U.S.A., is a podcaster and Healing Life Coach who followed her heart’s desire of living in NYC. She moved all on her own, far away from “home” in the Midwest. I am not sure how I found her podcast, but she immediately hooked me with her breakdown of words. Yes, words. I love words and, thus, I love Dr. Shannon’s podcast. She is the bestselling author of Date Yourself Well (I have this book, loved it and shared it with a friend) Dr. Shannon Knows, and It’s No Secret. She inspires Midlife women by offering common sense solutions to the monkey-mind we have going on in our head all day (why DO we do that, anyway?). Her non-lengthy, daily podcast is full of real information, inspiration, and strategies to find joy and healing in every day – one SIP ON LIFE at a time.

Author’s Notes: Learning about these women who took the leap believing in themselves, serving fellow women, and taking the nose dive into some not so easy technology, I realize they are leaders and healers. By working with women throughout my career of all ages and in all stages of life, I’ve discovered that women heal themselves by healing others as well as in healing others, they heal themselves. Either way, when women share their gifts with us, they serve their own hearts as well. ~ CinDiLo
