Reframing Midlife

Welcome to "Reframing Midlife," a podcast where I’m flipping the script on midlife. I'm Dr. Diane Strachowski, your host licensed psychologist and guide through this wild, wonderful, and sometimes wacky phase of life! Let’s face it—midlife can feel like a never-ending roller coaster. One minute, you’re conquering the world; the next, your hair’s migrating to your chin while your waistline’s taking over the world map! Sleep? What's that? Sex drive? Might need a GPS to find it. And don't get me started on mood swings! Midlife doesn’t have to be a horror show. It’s a chance to reinvent yourself, laugh at the chaos, and thrive like never before. Each week, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of midlife changes—weight, energy, sleep, skin, hair, sex drive, and those delightful relationship shifts. I’m bringing in the big guns—health, fitness, cognitive therapy, neuroscience, and nutrition experts. No topic is off limits, like how to spice up your marriage, revamp your wardrobe, and discover h...
