Scenic Route through Midlife — Society, Self & Shifting Gears

We think deeply, feel a lot, and we're done pretending mental load, exhaustion and burnout are personal failures. This is Scenic Route through Midlife, a mental health and personal growth podcast for women navigating burnout, rage, and perimenopause while still making space for wonder and whimsy.

Hosted by sociologist and mental health advocate Jennifer Walter — a half-rebel, half-marshmallow perimenopausal millennial with ADHD — we explore where society meets the self:  perfectionism, overthinking, and the pursuit of well-being collide with power, gender, capitalism, and social change. 

Here we believe healing isn't just personal, it's collective.

New episodes every Tuesday.
