The Messy Middle: Money, Hormones & the Real Cost of Midlife with Shannah Game (Part 1)

The Messy Middle: Money, Hormones & the Real Cost of Midlife with Shannah Game (Part 1)

What happens when you hit midlife and everything starts to shift—your hormones, your finances, your sense of self?

In Part 1 of this two-part series, I sit down with former Everyone’s Talkin’ Money host Shannah Game for an unfiltered conversation about the emotional and financial realities of your 40s.

From the unexpected cost of just trying to feel normal, to why massages and therapy are not "frivolous" expenses, we’re breaking down the invisible taboos around women, money, and aging.

You’ll walk away learning:
How perimenopause and midlife identity shifts affect your money
Why it’s okay to spend on your emotional well-being—and how to do it intentionally
What the financial industry gets wrong about this chapter of life
How to create a “midlife money buffer” and budget for your future self
