We’re in full swing getting everything ready for our big event on Friday (can’t wait!) — so today, we’re re-sharing one of our favourite episodes: “How to Hack Your Calm with Alanna.”
It’s the perfect listen for a busy week — all about finding calm in the chaos (something we’re definitely practicing right now 😅).
✨ Bonus: Alanna will actually be joining us at the event on Friday! So give this episode a listen to get to know her a little better before you meet her in person.
Take a moment to breathe and tune in 💛
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. Your brain just works differently.
In this episode, Jenn and Shea sit down with ADHD coach Carrie to unpack the chaos, creativity, and clarity that come with an ADHD diagnosis—especially for women who found out later in life.
They talk emotional regulation, coping tools, and why self-acceptance is the ultimate productivity hack.
This week, the hosts are juggling all the things — color-coded calendars, school chaos, and midlife curveballs. Between parenting during busy seasons, teacher strikes, and sleep issues that just won’t quit, they’re sharing how they actually keep it together (and when they don’t).
Plus: the “bean theory,” why your critics don’t matter, and the scoop on our upcoming Midlife Rebrand Live Panel on November 14th at Bound Bookstore — a night for real talk, community, and expert insight into all things midlife.
Grab your coffee, open your calendar app, and let’s get organized (ish).
Step into any room like you belong — even in your stretchy pants. In Episode 16, we unpack self-confidence, comfort zones, and manifestation wins — from hockey tryouts and jet lag to wild travel mishaps. Quick, funny, and packed with tips to show up as your boldest self.
In Episode 15 of The Midlife Rebrand Podcast — “Midlife Glow Guide” — we get real about stress, self-care, and feeling good in your own skin. We start with the highs and lows of our kids’ hockey evaluations and even a trip to the rodeo, then shift into midlife emotions and why they feel so intense.
From there we dive into skincare and aesthetics: what Botox and fillers actually do, how to prep for treatments, the biggest misconceptions, and why these choices are for anyone who’s curious. This episode is about caring for yourself inside and out — no judgment, just honest talk and practical insight.
Our first guest is here! 🎉 In this episode, massage therapist and educator Alanna joins us to talk all things nervous system — how it drives stress, health, and the way you feel every day. We dig into the vagus nerve, the hidden signs of stress, and simple breathing and movement techniques that can calm your body fast. Plus, we swap our own stories of anxiety and regulation. If you’ve ever felt frazzled, this episode shows you how to hit your body’s “reset” button and feel better from the inside out.
Episode 13 (yep—we skipped 12 after a repost 🙃).
This week we talk nervous system regulation and Jiu-Jitsu—how the mat has taught us to manage stress, calm anxiety, and feel safer in our own skin. We also hit 500 streams/downloads (thank you!) and laugh about our 57% male YouTube audience.
Plus: massages, night routines, and a sneak peek at our first guest—a nervous system reset specialist.
🎙️ Chaos, calm, and coping tools—all in one episode.
We’ll be honest: between school schedules and travel, we didn’t make it to the mic this week. But we’re not leaving you empty-handed. We’re dropping Bamboozled back in your feed — the episode that hit hardest with listeners, because it’s midlife at its most unpredictable.
Awkward silences, clumsy hellos, glasses fogging up mid-conversation—Jenn and Shea are tackling it all in this week’s Midlife Rebrand Podcast. From the eternal glasses vs. contacts debate to cringe-worthy jiu-jitsu encounters, they get real (and laugh hard) about the everyday moments that make us squirm.
Along the way, they open up about bigger life shifts—like Shay’s upcoming solo trip to France and Switzerland—and how overthinking often fuels awkwardness. The episode wraps with practical, no-fluff tips (courtesy of ChatGPT) for handling social discomfort without losing your cool.
Heads up: the pod will take a short back-to-school break, but Jen and Shay will be back soon with more unfiltered stories.
On this episode of the Midlife Rebrand Podcast, Jenn and Shea get real about why the “safe” option isn’t always the smart one. After laughing through a few outrageous reality TV moments, they dive into their own stories of pushing past comfort zones—like launching this very podcast—and the surprising growth that followed.
They break down why staying cozy in your bubble keeps you stuck, and how even tiny, messy steps forward can lead to huge shifts in confidence, career, and life. A round of rapid-fire questions adds extra spark, touching on fears, boundaries, and self-care habits.
If you’ve been clinging to your comfort zone, this episode will nudge you (with humor and honesty) toward that first step out.
In this episode, Jen and Shea get real about the messy, brave, and sometimes downright weird ways they’ve flipped their lives in midlife. From clawing their way out of mental health ruts, to finding therapy that actually works, to throwing punches (literally) in kickboxing and Jiujitsu, they’re proving it’s never too late to start over.
They spill the turning points that changed everything, the communities that held them up, and why sharing your story might just be the most powerful thing you do this year.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or ready for your own reinvention, this conversation will light the match.
🎧 Listen now—and start plotting your own rebrand.
Jenn and Shea are back, catching up on surviving summer and why midlife often feels like one big emotional pop quiz. Then it gets juicy—with a deep dive into the Coldplay couple’s public affair, why cheating triggers us, and what it reveals about emotional maturity.
They also get real about ADHD in women, conflict in relationships, and rumination overload. Plus: one question that will haunt you (in a good way)—what would you be yelling at the screen if your life were a movie?
Raw, honest, and just the right amount of chaos—this episode hits hard and hits home.
This one’s short. And real. And maybe just a little too honest.
We didn’t plan a long episode — we just needed to say a few things out loud and see how they landed.
Like how we didn’t fall in love with our babies the moment they were born.
Or how we don’t miss the baby years one bit.
Or how making lunches every damn day might break us before anything else does.
If you’ve ever felt like a “bad mom” for not loving every part of motherhood — welcome. You’re not alone. And you're definitely not broken.
We recorded this one from a cabin in the mountains, with no agenda, no filters, and no judgment.
Let us know if it hits home. Or if you’re mad. Or if you’re quietly crying in the car because someone finally said it.
Either way... we're glad you're here.
Episode 6: Triggers & Travels — When Baggage Isn’t Just Luggage
In this episode, we unpack more than just our suitcases.
From airport panic to solo-travel anxiety, we’re sharing the messy, unfiltered side of travel — the kind you don’t post on Instagram.
We talk about what it feels like to be triggered in public, the invisible meltdowns that happen between TSA and Gate C12, and why understanding your emotional responses is half the battle.
We also get into therapy tools that help — like safe words, grounding strategies, and learning to recognize the moment before the spiral.
And just when things get too deep… we wrap it all up with an extremely serious debate:
Who would win in a fight — Martha Stewart or a Mel Robbins?
