About this listen

The midlife years are only the beginning - a transformational edit for your very best life.

In 2019, Gail McNeill sold her cherished family home and moved to Portugal with just a few boxes of possessions. Soon after, the Covid pandemic enforced her isolation in a remote part of the world and sparked a cascade of introspection that led her to question every facet of her life, struggling to reconcile past choices with present reality. She started a journey of complete reinvention, from which she emerged physically, emotionally and spiritually transformed.

Now better known to her hundreds of thousands of followers as @fiftysister, Gail shares her story of midlife metamorphosis to guide you step by step along your own path to reinvention. Showing that it's never too late to transform your life, The Midlife Edit will show you how to build a cocoon nourished by dietary, lifestyle and spiritual insights from which you can emerge transformed and re-energized, to make the absolute most of your middle years.

Gail shows you how, by prioritizing self-care for just one year, you can unlock the secrets of health span, building strength and confidence for life, nourishing your body and your mind, and allowing you to enter this unique new phase of your life not diminished, but empowered.

Let The Midlife Edit inspire you to invest in yourself, to imagine the life you truly desire - and to be seen, as you never have been before.

Not the autobiography I was expecting. Loved listening to Gail’s podcast interview but her voice here is so robotic. Content is laboured and repetitive and no real anecdotes about her personal journey. Very impersonal with basic self care/lifestyle tips. Such a disappointment. Agree with others it needs a huge edit/ re-write. Was really excited to listen to this and couldn’t get through it sadly.

Sadly very robotic and lack lustre

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Lots of shoulds on what to do. Not a personal story - not much on the hows.

Disappointing - a long slog through

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Prescriptive language and poor tone of narration. Couldn’t listen anymore. Wouldn’t recommend . Probably more suitable for men or male audience!

Poor narrator

Found this very boring, I love Gail, but she is not flowing with this book as feels like she is reading someone’s else’s script, I had to stop listening after chapter 3

Very Boring, it did not capture my interest at all

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Way too long and stating that we all should aim to transform- without really going into the how.

Not worth my time
