Description

Real conversations about what we’re loving, learning, and letting go of. No filters. No experts. Just friends in the group chat. This podcast is for women in their midlife era who are ready for honest, funny, and unfiltered conversations. Hosted by longtime friends Kris and Lorri, each episode feels like a voice note from your chattiest, most relatable friends. We talk about careers, health, and changing friendships, along with books, TV, travel, parenting adult kids, and the random thoughts we can’t stop thinking about. This isn’t a self-help show or a how-to podcast. It’s real life in real time—rambling, laughing, occasional oversharing, and figuring things out as we go. Whether you’re navigating career shifts, redefining relationships, embracing your “we do not care” era, or just looking for something comforting and entertaining to listen to on a walk or over coffee, Midlife Group Chat is your new favorite hang.

Episode 4: Flights, Side Hustles & Letting Go

2026/03/28

This week on Midlife Group Text, we’re covering travel chaos, big ideas, and the stuff we’re starting to let go of—literally. We kick things off with the realities of delayed flights and the gamble of flying discount airlines… because nothing tests your patience (or your personality) quite like travel plans going sideways. Then we shift into a conversation about raising (and being) entrepreneurial women—from chapter books that inspire big ideas to the role of side hustles and building a strong work ethic over time. And yes, we go there—Swedish death cleaning. What it means, why it’s trending, and how it hits differently in midlife when you start thinking about what you’re keeping, what you’re carrying, and what you’re ready to release. As always, it’s a mix of real talk, laughter, and those unexpected turns that somehow all connect in the end.

Episode 3: Screaming, Manifestation, and What's For Dinner

2026/03/28

This week on Midlife Group Text, we’re covering everything from finish lines to feelings—and a few things in between. We kick things off with a recap of the Hot Chocolate Run San Francisco because nothing says midlife like willingly running for chocolate (and questioning that decision halfway through). From there, we spiral into a surprisingly passionate discussion: do women lose the ability—or maybe just the opportunity—to really scream as we get older? We also dive into modern matchmaking, from apps to old-school setups… and what happens when parents get involved in the pre-screening process. (Helpful? Awkward? A little of both.) As always, we share what we’re loving and watching lately, plus a conversation on manifesting. Real talk, random tangents, and the kind of conversation that feels like a voice note from your friends.
