Episode 16: My Mom, Me & Midlife: A Candid Conversation on Menopause, Change & Connection

Welcome to Men, Menopause & Miracles — thepodcast for midlife women across generations who want to connect, laugh, learn, and feel seen in this chapter of life.

I’m Suzanne, your host and Your Midlife Wingwoman.Every Monday we add a little magical mojo to your week by talking about everything from dating and partnership to the emotional and physical journey of menopause, and the everyday miracles that are here for us now.

This week, I sit down with my mom for a heartfelt conversation about midlife and menopause. We talk about what she expected versus what actually happened, the surprises along the way, and the wisdom she’s gained from raising five kids, navigating divorce, and finding herself in this new chapter.

From symptoms and identity shifts to relationships and everyday resilience, we explore the stories that shaped her midlife — and reflect on how they’ve shaped mine too.

Whether you’re walking through menopause, curious about your own mom’s journey, or simply looking for connection across generations, this episode is a reminder that none of us are alone in rewriting this chapter of life.

What a gift to sit down with my mom and talk about midlifeand menopause so openly — the things she faced, the wisdom she gained, and the reminders that every woman’s journey is unique. My hope is that this conversation inspires you to reflect on your own midlife story and maybe evenopen up a dialogue with your mother, daughter, or another woman in your life.
