About this Podcast:

Midlife Murmurings is a companion for those navigating the in-between—not quite young, not yet old, but deeply alive. Like a murmuration of starlings, each voice adds wisdom, challenges and questions which together create something beautiful, joyful and wonderous. Through life stories, career adventures, and soulful reflections, this podcast explores purpose, renewal, grief, and the quiet rebellion of midlife, as we shed the clothes that no longer fit, and rediscover our true selves.
