Road-Tripping through Midlife
Welcome to Road-Tripping Through Midlife, a podcast about the adventures, detours, and discoveries that come with this stage of life.
My name's Carrie, and from my vintage camper we’ll share honest conversations about friendships, reinvention, family, health, and everything that comes with midlife.
There’s usually something sweet to share in the camper too.
Because wherever the road takes us, we don’t have to travel it alone.

And what struck me most is this idea… that even in midlife, in all the change and uncertainty, we’ve actually been here before.”
