The Jen Marples Show for Midlife Women

Midlife Private Parts: A Conversation That Will Change the Way You Feel About Age with Dina Aronson & Dina Alvarez

Jen Marples Episode 212

What if everything you've been told about aging is wrong? I'm sitting down with authors Dina Aronson and Dina Alvarez for a conversation that will completely shift how you think about midlife. These two powerhouse women met in their 50s through social media, instantly connected, and decided to create something extraordinary together - an anthology called "Midlife Private Parts" that captures the raw, unfiltered truth of what it really means to be a woman navigating this transformative time. This book is about the beautiful mess, the unexpected freedom, and the incredible possibilities that come when you stop apologizing for taking up space in the world.
