Hi, I'm Roxie Manning, and this is the Iconic Midlife.

If you're new here, welcome.

And if you're already curious, skeptical, excited, or all of the above, perfect.

You're exactly who I made this for.

So here's what this quick sneak peek is all about.

The show launches tomorrow on Tuesday, June 10, but I wanted to drop into your feed a little early to tell you what the iconic midlife really is, why I started it, and what you can expect, and maybe what you didn't even know you were missing.

Let's start with the obvious.

Midlife is weird.

It's shape shifting, code switching, reinvention, heavy time that no one really prepares you for.

We're told to embrace it, be graceful, stay grateful, take collagen, stop complaining, act our age, age backwards, lean in, tone it down, lift it up, and.

And get over it, often in the same breath.

And honestly, I got tired of all the mixed messages.

So I created this space, the Iconic Midlife, to cut through the noise, to talk honestly, to give midlife the voice, the nuance and the visibility it deserves.

Because it's not a crisis, it's not a countdown, and it's definitely not about accepting invisibility.

Here is what it is.

A power era.

One with contradictions, clarity, discomfort, breakthroughs and moments of straight up ridiculousness.

And yeah, sometimes you'll find me talking about hormones, Other times, heels, hustle, heartbreak, hrt, highlighter, whatever's real that week.

This is a podcast for women 40 and up who are in the thick of it, over it, or just waking up to the fact that maybe, just maybe, this is when things actually get interesting.

We'll cover all the things.

Confidence, career, pivots, sex, money, parenting style, menopause, ambition, beauty, friendships, starting over, letting go, stepping in, speaking up.

And yes, sometimes we do want to look like we've turned back the clock.

Sometimes we don't.

Sometimes we love the filter, and sometimes we delete the photo.

It's all valid.

It's all yours.

This is not a one size fits all era.

And we're not here to tell women what midlife should look like.

We're here to talk about what it can look like when you stop waiting for permission.

Some episodes will be me, just sharing stories, insights, and things no one's saying out loud.

Other weeks, I'll be joined by incredible guests.

Just real talk with smart, bold, interesting people.

Some of them iconic names you'll recognize, others you'll be glad you met them here.

First new episodes drop every Tuesday, So starting tomorrow, June 10, follow the show now.

And if this sounds like your kind of space, bring a friend.

And if you want more of the behind the scenes, the style, the unfiltered moments, and the midlife magic in real time, follow us on social media.

We're not doing midlife quietly.

We're doing it on our terms.

This is where things get interesting, and trust me, you won't wanna miss it.
