Welcome to the very first episode of The Midlife Tea, a podcast about real conversations, life transitions, and discovering new purpose in midlife.

In this episode, Manel and Tina talk about something many people experience but rarely say out loud — the feeling of starting over in midlife.

For many people, life after 40 brings unexpected changes. Careers shift. Children grow up. Relationships evolve. Priorities change. And suddenly we begin asking deeper questions about who we are and what we want next.

Midlife can feel uncertain, but it can also be one of the most powerful periods of personal growth and reinvention.

In this conversation, we explore why so many people feel lost during this stage of life and how midlife can actually become the beginning of a meaningful new chapter.

If you’ve ever felt like you're standing at a crossroads wondering what comes next, this episode is for you.
