The Midlife Improvement Project - Navigating the challenges and adventures of Midlife on the way to an even better you.

Dr. Peggy Malonedrpeggymalone.com
The Midlife Improvement Project is a podcast for women in midlife who are feeling like they need a change....like something is just not quite right. They are itchy for the next best version of themselves. They are looking for a community of likeminded women that are facing the challenges and adventures of midlife in a totally different way than their Moms did. They are looking for strategies to manage their minds as they shed societally imposed expectations that they have conformed to for most of their life up until now. They are ready to be empowered and grow into an even more badass version of themselves in the second half. Listen in as health care provider turned Life Coach Dr. Peggy Malone invites you to come with her as she navigates her own midlife awakening and all of its ups and downs. If you are searching for answers and community as you think about how you want to spend your second half here on planet earth, then this podcast is for you! Let's get after it!!
