  • The Menopause Wake-Up Call Every Millennial Woman Needs to Hear with Lauren Tetenbaum

    The Menopause Wake-Up Call Every Millennial Woman Needs to Hear with Lauren Tetenbaum
    2025/07/14
    Many millennial women are sleepwalking toward menopause—unprepared for what's coming during this critical life stage. At 39, reproductive mental health expert Lauren Tetenbaum had a shocking realization—she knew nothing about menopause despite her expertise in women’s health. Now at 40, after interviewing hundreds of menopause experts and everyday women, she sounds a “get ready” clarion call and offers a science-backed playbook for thriving in peri/menopause and beyond with her new book "Millennial Menopause.” Lauren uncovers treatment options for symptoms you thought were "just life now," how to advocate for yourself when healthcare providers dismiss you, and why men need to be part of this conversation. This show is for anyone—no matter your generation—who has wandered the thickets of menopause “dazed and confused.” FOLLOW A CERTAIN AGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ GET INBOX INSPO: Sign up for our newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AGE BOLDLY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We share new episodes, giveaways, links we love, and midlife resources Learn more about your ad choices.

    Midlifers Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud with Dina Alvarez and Dina Aronson of Midlife Private Parts
    2025/06/30
    Midlifers are saying the quiet parts out loud—and we have stories that will make you laugh, cry, and feel like you've found your tribe. This week, writers, reinventors, and editors Dina Alvarez and Dina Aronson join host Katie Fogarty to explore their new essay collection "Midlife Private Parts"—a series of revealing essays that will change the way you think about age. Dina and Dina spent two years gathering 27 contributors (including many ACA podcast favorites like Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Sarah Milken, and Laura Belgray) to capture snapshots of midlife in all its magnificent, messy, comical glory. From hormone chaos to happiness breakthroughs, to sex and dating, recalibrating midlife friendships and marriages, to dabbling in cosmetic procedures, to the mixed bag of empty nesting, this collection serves up the midlife realness we all crave. We also explore what it took to bring this project to life, and why midlife is exactly the right time to become wildly visible, creative, and collaborative. Ready for a book that'll make you text your girlfriends immediately? Get "Midlife Private Parts" wherever books are sold.

    The Science of Skin Aging with OneSkin Co-Founder Alessandra Zonari, PhD
    2025/06/16
    Let's be honest—walking down the skincare aisle in midlife is overwhelming. So many products, so much BS. If you're tired of "anti-aging" products that promise miracles, this show will help you cut through marketing hype, make you a shrewder shopper, and give your skincare smarts a science-backed glow up. Today's show is a crash course in the science of skin aging with Dr. Alessandra Zonari, who holds a PhD in skin regeneration and tissue engineering and is the co-founder of cult-favorite OneSkin, a line of skin, suncare and scalp products. Alessandra and her team spent five years screening 900+ peptides to discover the first molecule that targets "zombie cells"—damaged cells that accelerate skin aging after 30. We cover what makes skin age, why some people’s skin ages faster than others, why lifestyle beats genetics in aging—and which choices matter most. Plus, a primer on spotting science-backed products versus lotions and potions hyped only by clever marketing. Understanding the real science behind skin aging isn't about skin-deep vanity—it's about making informed choices that protect your health and confidence as you age.

  • Bonus Episode: Kirsten Miller on “The Change”: Menopause, Magic Realism, and the Superpowers of Midlife

    Bonus Episode: Kirsten Miller on “The Change”: Menopause, Magic Realism, and the Superpowers of Midlife
    2025/06/02
    Can midlife be a portal to our most powerful selves? What if menopause came with superpowers? In this A Certain Age bonus episode, listen in as host Katie Fogarty and author Kirsten Miller explore "The Change," a razor-sharp feminist revenge fantasy about three women who navigate the thickets of menopause and small-town murder with superpowers unlocked by midlife. Miller crafts a tale that's equal parts thriller, feminist manifesto, and pacy, page-turning magical realism—a recipe that landed "The Change" as a GMA Book Club pick. We explore how righteous anger can be alchemized into creativity and action, why women in their forties and fifties represent "the most powerful generation of women in the history of the world," and how midlife gives us a clearer vision of our gifts. Forget invisible—in "The Change," the women are powerful and completely out of f*cks to give. That is to say, they are unstoppable. This bonus episode aired on our sister show The Midlife Book Club.
