Reshma Saujani, an Indian American lawyer, politician, and founder of international nonprofits Girls Who Code and the Moms First movement, is set to launch a new podcast aimed at exploring the realities of middle age for women.
The podcast called ‘My So-Called Midlife’ will debut on Oct. 16 and is produced in collaboration with Lemonada Media. The announcement, first reported by Marie Curie, states that the podcast will feature candid conversations with influential women, including actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus and economist Emily Oster, about navigating their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
Saujani described the new venture as a space where women can reflect on life’s pivotal midlife stages. "My So-Called Midlife explores a question I ask myself daily: Is this it?" she said in an Instagram post.
The podcast trailer teases discussions on societal pressures, personal reinvention, and career pivots, with Saujani aiming to offer listeners a sense of validation and empowerment. “Women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are enigmas in the zeitgeist right now,” she explained. “We’ve accomplished so much, yet we’re still figuring out what the rest of our lives look like.”
Saujani’s hope is to provide a platform where women can confront the challenges of midlife and, in her words, “find new ways to truly live life.” Future episodes will feature discussions with Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and author Cheryl Strayed, among others.
Saujani, who became the first Indian American woman to run for Congress in 2010, has long been an advocate for gender equity. Through Girls Who Code, which she founded in 2012, she works to close the gender gap in computer science. Moms First, her other initiative, advocates for paid leave, childcare, and equal pay.
