School of Midlife
This is the podcast for high-achieving women in midlife who want to make midlife their best life.
Women who have worked their entire lives, whether that’s in a traditional career or as the CEO of their household, or for many women, both. And they look around at their life in midlife, and think “I’ve worked my ass off for this?”
They have everything they always thought they ever wanted, but for some reason, it feels like something is missing.
This is the podcast for midlife women who are experiencing all sorts of physical changes in their bodies, while navigating changes in every other part of their lives, too: friendships, family life, work life.
This is the podcast for midlife women who find themselves wide-awake at 2.00am, asking themselves big questions like “what do I want?” “is it too late for me?”, and “what’s my legacy beyond my family and my work?”
Each week, we’re answering these questions and more at the School of Midlife.
When it comes to midlife, there are a lot of people talking about menopause and having a midlife crisis. This isn’t one of those podcasts. While we may occasionally talk about the menopausal transition, but that’s not our focus. Because we believe that midlife is so much more than menopause. And it’s certainly not a crisis.
At the School of Midlife, we’re looking to make midlife our best life.

Are You Really What You Eat? | Emilee Wise
In this episode of the School of Midlife podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Emilee Wise, a holistic health, wellness, and nutrition coach who specializes in working with midlife women. Emilee is also an accomplished endurance athlete and coach, and she brings a wealth of knowledge from her diverse background in sports medicine, finance, early childhood development, spiritual psychology, and functional medicine.
We discussed the overwhelming amount of health and wellness information available to midlife women, especially on social media. Emilee emphasized the importance of cutting through the noise to find what truly works for each individual.
She shared her journey from sports medicine to finance and back to health and wellness, highlighting her frustration with traditional medical approaches that often overlook root causes.
Emilee explained her holistic approach to coaching, which goes beyond just nutrition. She focuses on understanding clients' relationships with their bodies, food, and exercise, and helps them prioritize their well-being.
We delved into the importance of managing blood sugar levels, especially for midlife women. Emilee provided actionable tips, such as eating fiber first, followed by proteins and fats, and saving starchy carbohydrates for last to maintain steady blood sugar levels. She emphasized the critical role of strength training for midlife women, particularly in maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and overall health. She recommended lifting heavy weights and incorporating plyometric exercises to keep muscles responsive.
We also explored the benefits of functional medicine, which looks for root causes of health issues and treats the whole person rather than just symptoms. Also, Emilee highlighted the significance of mindset and attitude towards aging and body changes. She encouraged women to embrace the aging process and focus on overall well-being rather than just physical appearance.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for midlife women looking to improve their health and wellness. Emilee's holistic approach and deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by midlife women make her an incredible resource. Whether you're dealing with hormonal changes, struggling with nutrition, or looking to incorporate strength training into your routine, this episode offers something for everyone.
