The Midlife Worry Peak, You Too?

Is it 2 AM again and you find yourself worrying, thinking, ruminating? Look, I’ve never been a great sleeper but it has gotten much worse once I hit midlife and I know I’m not alone.

Have you seen a difference in how much you worry or ruminate as you’ve reached midlife?

Listen up because in this episode we’re telling you, we aren’t crazy (even though we may sometimes feel like we are) and instead, why and how we are reacting to the different physical, emotional, and psychological elements happening to us all at the same time. The angst of midlife.


In this episode, we’re talking about…

  • How we’re at the apex of anxiety while at the bottom of the happiness U curve 

  • The false reality of overthinking, worrying and ruminating 

  • The psychological, hormonal, and socio-cultural factors of worry 

    • Women are biologically vulnerable 

    • The societal norms around beauty and aging 

    • Rumination and worries about missed opportunities or unfulfilled goals
