In this episode of The Midlife Rebel Podcast, I’m joined by author Teri M Brown for an honest conversation about midlife reinvention, menopause, emotional abuse, divorce, and finding the courage to begin again.
Teri shares the story behind her latest novel, Peg Unhinged — a book that captures the chaos so many women quietly experience in midlife: hot flushes, rage, identity loss, relationship breakdowns, and the feeling that everything is unravelling at once.
We also explore Teri’s own turning point after leaving an emotionally abusive marriage and saying yes to something completely outside her comfort zone — riding a tandem bicycle across America despite not having ridden in decades.
This conversation is about doing hard things, rebuilding confidence, and discovering that midlife might not be the breakdown we were taught to fear.
In this episode we discuss:
• Menopause and perimenopause symptoms
• Midlife reinvention and starting over
• Emotional abuse and rebuilding self-worth
• Hot flushes, rage, brain fog and exhaustion
• Divorce, identity change and confidence
• Why doing hard things changes us
• Creativity, writing and purpose in midlife
If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your life, your relationships, or who you’ve become in midlife, this conversation will probably resonate.
