Midlife isn’t a slow fade; it’s a volume knob. We sit down with Angela, the force behind Real Girls Guide and RGG55, to rewrite the script on aging and claim midlife as a comeback. From the lost folder that sparked her book to the candid truths she shares about hormones, identity, and self-trust, this conversation is a bright, unflinching look at how women can live on purpose and take up space.
We dig into radical self-possession, the everyday practice of saying “no” without an essay, trusting your own voice without apology.
Because at some point, you realize it’s not about being invited anymore, it’s about creating spaces that feel like home.
So, you build your own table. You fill it with people who get it. the ones who bring wisdom, laughter, truth, and light.
The ones who see you, not just your highlight reel.
And you start, even before you have a roadmap, because sometimes the most beautiful journeys begin before you know the way. Angela brings data and lived experience to the hormone conversation, connecting estrogen changes to mood, libido, and confidence, and showing how education powers better care and louder advocacy. We talk hot flashes and humor, because laughter disarms shame and opens doors. We trace the cultural shift making this moment possible: women 40, 50, 60+ with spending power, visibility, and the will to speak plainly about bodies, sex, ambition, and reinvention.
You’ll hear how identity pivots from “Who do I have to be?” to “Who do I want to be now?” We explore friendships that trade comparison for courage, boundaries that need no apology, and the grit it takes to begin again. Angela’s upcoming book—built from 120 women and 25 experts—acts as a companion, not a blueprint, reminding us we’re not alone and there’s always a path forward. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, “past your prime,” or stuck on the edge of a new chapter, consider this your nudge to start.
