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.

74. Midlife Beauty: Way Deeper Than Skin-Deep | Annie Tevelin (Part 2)
In part 2 of this episode of the School of Midlife podcast, I continue my deep dive into the beauty and skincare industry with the incredible Annie Tevelin, founder of Skin Owl. We start by discussing the staggering $670 billion beauty industry and its impact on our perceptions of aging and self-worth. Annie shares her insights on how Skin Owl promotes self-love and care, especially for women over 45, who are often overlooked by the beauty industry.
We explore the societal pressures to maintain youthful appearances and how women can reframe their perspectives on aging. Annie emphasizes the importance of skincare as a moment of self-check-in and care, rather than a means to achieve unrealistic beauty standards. She also highlights the significance of protein intake and the use of specific skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol to support aging skin.
Annie's passion for empowering women extends beyond skincare. She recently pursued a lifelong dream of making music, resulting in a heartfelt project that reflects a pivotal time in her life. This venture has even led to opportunities in syncing her music with movies and TV shows.
Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of self-care, the value of surrounding oneself with positive influences, and the need to embrace aging as a journey of personal development. Annie's insights and experiences offer a refreshing perspective on how to navigate midlife with grace and confidence.
For those interested in learning more about Skin Owl or connecting with Annie, she provides various ways to reach out, including visiting their store in Boise or engaging with them online. This episode is packed full of wisdom for any midlife woman looking to make her best life yet.
