Aussie Author Rachael Johns on Writing, Woo-Woo Magic & The Babysitter’s Club

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, we’re thrilled to bring you a special guest episode with one of Australia’s most loved authors, and fellow Midlifer, Rachael Johns.

In this warm, funny and wonderfully nostalgic chat, we dive into writing, midlife creativity, books that shaped us, intuition, friendship, and her brand-new novel The Lucky Sisters.

Rachael shares:

✨ How she writes without planning (and trusts the magic) ✨ Why midlife has made her more woo-woo ✨ The truth about balancing creativity, motherhood and social media ✨ The moments that surprise even her while writing
And yes… we go deep into 80s/90s nostalgia: The Babysitter’s Club books - characters, Logan Bruno (the original green flag boyfriend!), school trips, and how these iconic books shaped a generation of women.

This episode is warm, funny, insightful, creative, and full of the kind of midlife conversation we all love - female friendships, books that feel like comfort food, and just having a good time, really.
