You’re 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 — about identity, desire, change, and who they’re 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 — about reinvention, menopause, friendship, pleasure, invisibility, grief, creativity, and growth.
This conversation is a reminder that midlife isn’t something to get through or fix — it’s something to inhabit fully.
If you’ve ever felt unsure, stuck, or quietly wondered if you were alone in how you’re feeling…
this episode is for you.
