…Is this it? That’s the question our host Reshma Saujani asks herself daily. She’s the founder of two successful nonprofits, she’s married to a great guy, and she’s raising two beautiful children. She’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted, so why does she feel so unsatisfied? Is this a woman’s version of a midlife crisis? She’s determined to figure it out, and with the strength of her group chat b... more

I’ve been following Reshma Saujani since her TED Talk on Brave, Not Perfect… and I still quote it all the time. Her new podcast, My So-Called Midlife, is everything I didn’t know I needed. It feels honest, real, and refreshing in a world where midlife is usually talked about in whispers or clichés.
Reshma brings the same mix of grit, vulnerability, and straight-up truth telling that first drew me to her work. Every episode feels like a conversation with the friend who tells you what you need to... more
Dear Reshma, Thank you! Your podcast has meant so much these past months of marriage crisis.
I'm working my way up from the first ones, and have benefitted from your generous sharing.
My request: based in Europe, it would be great to have options that apply to us. For the PBS documentary M Factor, I wrote in and they kindly sent me a link. Loved Acorns CEO but I did not find a link to their website in show notes/or EU option to look into. Just a suggestion for your wider public :)
I thought I had somehow started listening from the beginning again only to realize that the same ads were being played multiple times throughout the podcast. Each ad is extremely long and slow and at this point it's impossible to listen to this podcast.
It’s been amazing to get perspective from others in my age cohort. I have loved everyone Reshma has had a conversation with so far. I cannot wait for the next show.
