Youâre Not Alone: The Power of Sharing Midlife Stories
Wed Feb 04 2026
Midlife has a way of surfacing questions many women have carried quietly for years â about identity, desire, change, and who theyâre becoming now.
In this episode, Yvonne is joined by writers and editors Dina Aronson and Dina Alvarez, co-editors of Midlife Private Parts, a deeply honest anthology that reflects the many ways women experience midlife.
Together, they explore what happens when women stop editing themselves and start telling the truth â about reinvention, menopause, friendship, pleasure, invisibility, grief, creativity, and growth.
This conversation is a reminder that midlife isnât something to get through or fix â itâs something to inhabit fully.
If youâve ever felt unsure, stuck, or quietly wondered if you were alone in how youâre feelingâŠ
this episode is for you.
