My So-Called Midlife with Reshma Saujani
?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 behind her, she?s calling in reinforcements. From Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, to Emily Oster and Cheryl Strayed, to experts, friends, authors and more, Reshma?s going to help us all figure out how we stop trying to just get through this time of life? and actually start living it.

It Could Be F*cking Great with Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is about to officially graduate from midlife. At 63, she can confidently say that the last thirty years were? great, actually! Is it because she won multiple Emmys? Or maybe because she called out age biases in Hollywood by starring in Amy Schumer?s Last F*ckable Day? Well, along with these milestones, Julia suffered a ton of loss and hardship in her 50s. So why does she say it's her best decade? It?s all about the mindset. Plus, why Julia has 15,000 unread emails in her inbox -- and doesn't care.
