Real Talk for Women Who’ve Been There, Done That, and Are Ready for More

Welcome to Crazy Stupid Midlife—the podcast for smart, powerful women who are rewriting the rules of what life looks like after 40. Hosted by two 40-something women who’ve navigated motherhood, career pivots, identity shifts, and everything in between, this is your go-to space for real, unfiltered conversations about midlife reinvention.

Because midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a comeback. A career change, a confidence glow-up, a rediscovery of what really matters. Whether you’re leveling up, starting over, or finally putting yourself first, we’re here with the laughs, the wisdom, and the “WTF is happening to my skin?” moments.

From women’s health and wellness, to aesthetics, aging boldly, and personal growth, we’re talking all the crazy, stupid, beautiful parts of being a woman in midlife. This isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of your best damn chapter yet.

Welcome to Stupid

Send us a textIn our third episode, we’re breaking down the why behind one of the most loaded words in our podcast title: stupid. Why did we choose it? What does it really mean to us? And how can embracing the “stupid” parts of life—mistakes, missteps, messy moments—actually lead to the smartest, boldest, and most beautiful parts of midlife?From reclaiming a word that’s often used to shame or diminish, to celebrating the freedom that comes with not always having it all figured out, we’re unpacking the double edge of “stupid”—the cringey regrets and the glorious risks.✨ Whether you’re constantly losing your train of thought, quit something big on a whim, or are just trying to laugh your way through the chaos, this episode is for anyone who’s ever been called stupid—and turned it into something kind of brilliant.Subscribe, share, and join us in redefining what it means to be a little stupid—in the best way.

In our second episode, we’re opening the door to what this podcast is all about: the beautiful, bizarre, and bold reality of life in the middle. Midlife isn’t just confusing—it’s hilarious, humbling, and sometimes downright magical. We’re Renee and Dannielle, two longtime friends juggling career pivots, hormones, teenagers, identity shifts, and everything in between. Sometimes we’re losing it, sometimes we’re crushing it—but either way, we’re doing it together. If you’ve ever felt like midlife is pulling you in every direction but also pushing you into your most powerful self—you’re in the right place. Let’s get a little loud, a little real, and a little crazy (in the best way).
