Episode 27: De-cember De-clutter

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

We’re taking on the world of decluttering—the sport no one asked to compete in. We tackle the overflowing junk drawers, the “skinny jeans of delusion,” and the forgotten gadgets that promised to change our lives. With plenty of laughs and a sprinkle of shame, we talk about the midlife urge to purge, the chaos of trying to get organized, and why the act of cleaning out a closet feels suspiciously like therapy.

Episode 25: Midlife on the Move

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

We’re packing our bags, grabbing our favorite books - and the readers we always forget - and taking a trip. From long-dreamed-of bucket-list adventures to the practical do’s and don’ts we’ve learned the hard way, we talk about what it means to explore the world (or just a new Costco) in this season of life.

We look back at the way we traveled as kids — road trips with zero Wi-Fi — and compare it with the way we travel now, where comfort, planning, and a reliable bathroom situation are absolute non-negotiables.

Whether you’re dreaming of a big adventure or just want a laugh about the realities of travel, this conversation reminds you that exploring — near or far — is still full of wonder, mishaps, and plenty of relatable magic.

Episode 23: Gather, Grumble, Repeat

Moms on Pause - Midlife, Menopause, & the Mundane

In this episode, we discuss the beauty and madness of holiday traditions—midlife style. Bring on the ibuprofen, fewer breakable ornaments, and a strict “no one talks to me until I’ve had coffee” policy. We unpack the rituals we grew up with and the new traditions we’re trying to invent now that the kids are older, our patience is thinner, and our hormone levels fluctuating like the broken lights on the tree.

It’s festive. It’s honest. It’s slightly chaotic. It’s the permission slip you need to celebrate the holidays like a woman who has finally realized she doesn’t have to host, bake, decorate, or sparkle unless she wants to.
