In this episode, she reflects on what has changed in the three and a half months since launching the very first Midlife Plot Twist episode. What once felt urgent, scary, and filled with pressure to make a bold career move has softened into something steadier: a growing trust in the process of change.

She shares what it’s been like to sit in the uncomfortable middle — flip-flopping on decisions, questioning long-held identities, and learning that second-guessing can actually be part of discernment, not failure.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck between wanting change and craving safety, and who worries they’re falling behind because they haven’t made a dramatic leap yet. It’s a reminder that slow doesn’t mean stuck, patience can be a form of courage, and being in the middle is all part of the process.

In episode 16 of The Midlife Plot Twist, Jennifer explores the vulnerability—and unexpected strength—of admitting “I don’t know what I’m doing.” She reflects on the pressure midlife brings to have everything figured out, from career and identity to creativity and purpose, and shares her own experience of standing at the edge of major change. Through conversations about neurodivergence, unmasking, intuition, and the fear of being a beginner again, this episode invites listeners to question the comfort of the familiar and consider what might be possible if not knowing was allowed to be part of the process.

In this episode of Midlife Plot Twist, Jennifer shares a deeply personal story about being diagnosed with ADHD and autism in her 40s, a discovery that has become a central part of her own midlife plot twist. Like many women, her neurodivergence was missed in childhood, leading to decades of masking, chronic overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout.

Jennifer reflects on how midlife became the turning point where long-held explanations for her struggles no longer fit, even after achieving career stability, financial security, and personal milestones. She explores why more women are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism in midlife, how neurodivergence often presents differently in women, and how hormonal shifts, increased responsibilities, and burnout can bring everything to the surface.

This episode is for women in their 40s who feel exhausted, behind, or like life has always been harder than it “should” be. Jennifer invites listeners to consider a powerful question: what changes when you begin to honour how your mind and body actually work, rather than how you think they should?
