In this episode, I’m joined by Dina Aronson and Dina Alvarez—aka The Dinas—the co-editors of the bold and deeply honest new book Midlife Private Parts, which launches on June 24th.
This powerful collection features 28 revealing essays from some truly incredible women—bestselling authors, creatives, entrepreneurs—sharing what it really feels like to navigate midlife and beyond. From reinvention and rediscovering pleasure to friendship, fashion, feeling invisible, and starting over, Midlife Private Parts explores the beauty and complexity of this transformative life stage.
We talk about how the project came together, why these stories are so necessary, and how storytelling helps women feel seen, heard, and empowered to age on their own terms.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
