In this episode, I get real about something we don't talk about enough the loneliness that can sneak up on us in midlife.
I share my own reflections on how friendships shift as we grow, why connection still matters more than ever, and how tending to our friendships doesn't have to feel like another to-do.
If you've been feeling the quiet ache of missing your people or wondering where to find them again, this one's for you.
Because midlife isn't meant to be a solo mission. It's a call to choose connection, joy, and community, one coffee and one voice note at a time.

In this episode, I talk about something that's been showing up every time I sit down to record this podcast. That uncomfortable tug-of-war between wanting to do the thing that lights you up and still finding it hard to begin.
I share a powerful insight from a video my coach, Liane, sent me, and how it completely shifted the way I see resistance.
What if resistance isn’t trying to stop us at all. What if it’s showing us exactly what matters most.

In this episode, I explain what midlife is from my own experience and perspecive, and, it may not be what you think.
I speak about the myths we’ve been sold about midlife, the so-called “invisibility era” (and why it might actually be your superpower), and what I call The Midlife Striptease, the beautiful, messy process of shedding who you’ve been so you can remember who you really are.
If you’re feeling the shift, the restlessness, the desire to come home to yourself, this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode, I invite you to take action!
You've listened. You've nodded. You've felt that spark, that goosebumpy, heart-thudding aliveness that whispers if not now, then when?
But this time, it's different. Coz this isn't about waiting for perfect conditions or feeling "ready." This is about saying YES to the woman you're becoming, even when it's messy, even when it's uncertain, even when your voice trembles.
In this episode, I speak about:
So if you've been waiting for a sign, consider this your sign, your nudge, your spark. Because you don't need another podcast to inspire you. You just need to make that move!

In this powerful and tender conversation, I sit down with Di Atherton, a certified death doula, grief guide, and Reiki Master, to explore the quieter forms of grief we experience in midlife.
Midlife brings so many transitions: menopause, changing bodies, children leaving home, ageing parents, shifting roles, and evolving identities. It's a season of endings and beginnings, a series of small deaths that often go unspoken.
Together, we dive into: - What it really means to grieve beyond the loss of a loved one
- How to honour the grief of lost identities and past versions of ourselves
- Why feeling your feelings is the most radical form of self-trust
- Rituals to help you navigate endings with more grace and softness
- How to reframe the narrative of ageing and step into midlife with power
This episode is an invitation to slow down, exhale, and let yourself be human. Because sometimes, before we can rise, we need to grieve.

Many of us in midlife feel like we should already “have it ALL figured out.”
But what if the real magic lies in allowing ourselves to begin again?
In this episode of The Midlife Sessions, I share why embracing the beginner’s mindset is not only brave but deeply liberating, especially in midlife. From starting new creative projects to daring to show up in fresh, vulnerable ways, being a beginner opens the door to joy, possibility, and freedom.

In this very first episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of why I started The Midlife Sessions, and what I hope it sparks in you.
This podcast was born out of both love and loss. When my cousin, a brilliant podcast host himself, passed away two years ago, I made a promise to myself start my own show in his honour. It’s taken me a while to find the courage, but here we are.
And as I share this story, I also want to talk about what it means to be a beginner again because starting something new in midlife can feel both terrifying and wildly liberating.

Hello, I’m Sonja McKaiser, and this is not your average midlife conversation. Midlife isn’t about fading out. It’s about turning up the volume, taking the second bite of life, and living it on your terms!
Ready for raw, real, and sometimes ridiculously fun (ny) conversations about what it actually means to thrive in midlife? LFG!! Coz if not now, then when...
Episode 1 launching on 30 September 2025!
