159. What Got You Here Won't Get You There
Fri Feb 06 2026
The real reason you don't feel like yourself in midlife...after "fixing" your midlife body.
You’ve done the work to address the physical symptoms of midlife: balanced your hormones, changed your eating, added strength training. And you still don't feel like yourself in midlife.
And there's a reason for that. The real work of midlife? That's an inside job.
In this bonus episode of the School of Midlife podcast, Laurie is dropping us into a recent masterclass to encourage midlife women stop waiting and start living. Laurie shares her own story of rising out of a moment of deep personal and professional frustration to create what became The School of Midlife. And she names the real reason we get stuck again after the first breakthrough: we need structure, support, and community to keep going.
If you’ve taken a few big steps but don’t know what’s next—or you’re afraid you’ll lose the progress you’ve made—this one’s for you.
