Growing Up Again at 42: A Millennial Identity Shift

What if midlife isn’t the end — but a second coming-of-age?

In this honest solo episode, Jen opens up about what it really feels like to be 42 and still not feel like an adult. She dives into the Millennial Ache, the pressure of social media “how-tos,” and the emotional weight of reinventing yourself in midlife.

Jen shares:

• Why millennials struggle with identity more than any generation
• How growing up without the internet — but adulting with it — changed us
• The loneliness of adult friendships
• Her honest confession about chasing trends, programs, and roles that weren’t truly hers
• Why she’s done creating from pressure and is ready to build The Midlife Edit Co. from the heart
• What “growing up again” really looks like at 42

If you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, nostalgic, or unsure of who you are “supposed to be,” this episode is a breath of relief — and a reminder that you’re right on time.
