This week on Midlife Talkshop, we’re joined by the hilarious Karen Morgan — comedian, former attorney, Dry Bar Comedy favorite, and professional storyteller for anyone surviving motherhood and midlife with a sense of humor 😂

We laughed WAY too hard talking about family, aging, southern charm, growing up “unsupervised & dehydrated,” and why midlife might actually be the funniest season yet.

If you’ve ever hidden in your car for a few minutes of peace… this episode is for you 😅

🎤 Join us and catch Karen live at the Funny Bone in Richmond, VA on June 4th!

NEW EPISODE — Midlife Talkshop Podcast

Ep. 19: Needles, Nerves & New Energy: How Acupuncture Can Transform Midlife Health

“Shift happens.” — Dr. Keith

Join us this week as we sit down with Dr. Keith Bell, a nationally recognized Holistic Health expert who has spent more than 25 years studying and practicing Oriental medicine and the healing arts. He is the founder of Oriental Medicine Specialists, Richmond’s premier holistic health center and the first clinic in Richmond to offer Traditional Chinese Medicine, Classical Chinese Medicine, and Integrative Fertility Medicine.

This conversation is packed with insight on how acupuncture can help regulate hormones, calm the nervous system, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and help release stored trauma from the body. After all, “the body remembers what the mind forgets”.

Topics we cover: • Hormones & perimenopause • Stress + nervous system healing • Sleep & the “wired but tired” feeling • Joint pain, headaches & inflammation • Breathwork, meditation & mindset shifts • The healing power of community & connection

One of many “Golden nuggets” he shares— Just 2–5 minutes of deep breathing can shift the body into “rest and reset” mode. No time? A 15-second hug can offer similar calming benefits.

Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & wherever you get your podcasts…

What if better health didn’t start in a pharmacy—but at the farm? 🌱

In this episode of Midlife Talkshop, we sit down with Mark Lilly, founder of FarmBus, who’s on a mission to bring fresh, local food straight to your community—and your front door.

From a converted school bus in 2009 to a full movement, Mark is helping people reconnect with where their food comes from and why it matters—especially in midlife.

Because eating whole, local foods isn’t just about taste… it’s about preventing disease, boosting energy, and aging stronger.

Simple shifts. Real food. Big impact.
