Who Am I Becoming?

Welcome to the very first episode of Midlife Bites! In this debut, host Kirstin Bouse—clinical psychologist and midlife mentor—opens up an honest conversation about what it really feels like to be a woman in midlife.

From the disorienting shifts of perimenopause and menopause to the deeper emotional tug of wondering, “Where did I go?”, Kirstin normalises the ups and downs of this messy, powerful chapter of life. She reframes midlife not as a failure, but as a natural transition—one that can be just as transformative as puberty or pregnancy.

This episode is an invitation to stop clinging to who you used to be and instead explore the more exciting question: Who am I becoming? Along the way, Kirstin introduces her signature program, WANT, designed to help women reconnect with themselves and clarify what’s next.

Tune in to embrace midlife as a time of growth, reclamation, and possibility—and maybe even share your own story with the community.
