Have you outgrown your own story?

In this episode of Midlife Plot Twist, Jennifer redefines what a midlife “plot twist” really means. What began as a podcast about leaving her career has evolved into something deeper: a conversation about reclamation.

Rather than reinventing herself, Jennifer explores the idea that midlife isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about remembering and reclaiming the parts of ourselves that were buried under achievement, responsibility, and expectation.

If midlife is a season of reclamation, the question isn’t “Who do I need to become?” It’s “What am I ready to take back?”

In this episode of Midlife Plot Twist, Jennifer reflects on workaholism and burnout—and the deeper truth she’s uncovered beneath them. What begins as a conversation about overworking becomes an honest exploration of self-worth, productivity, and the belief that we have to earn our importance. Speaking candidly from her own midlife reckoning, Jennifer asks a quieter, harder question: who are we when we’re not producing—and can we learn to believe that we matter anyway?

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.
