68. Wanting More in Midlife: Molly Roden Winter on Desire, Open Marriage, and Refusing to Disappear

What happens when a midlife woman stops editing herself?

Molly Roden Winter — author of the New York Times bestselling memoir More: A Memoir of Open Marriage — joins The Feminine Rebellion to talk about the hunger that lives underneath a picture-perfect life. This episode is for every woman over 40 who has ever whispered “is this all there is?” and immediately felt guilty for wanting more.


What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why the suffocation so many women in midlife feel is not a character flaw — it’s a symptom of a life built for everyone else

  • What Molly’s open marriage taught her about desire, jealousy, and the one rule that has kept her and Stuart together for 26 years

  • Why “I’ve never seen pretty growth” — and what that means for any woman trying to change her life without burning it down

  • The unexpected insight inside Molly’s story for women who have zero interest in non-monogamy

  • What it means to be an embodied, sovereign woman in your 50s — and why no 30-year-old has what you’ve got
