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.
