The Midlife Portal: Grief, Truth, and the Second Act with Constance Zimmer & Abby Epstein

from Circle This · host Good Mess Media

In this episode, Dre sits down with powerhouse actress/producer Constance Zimmer and filmmaker Abby Epstein, the collaborators behind The Midlife Monologues, for a conversation that goes straight to what's rarely said out loud and what needs to be heard.        They talk about the reality of midlife as it actually lands: identity shifts, grief, hormonal changes, loneliness, and the disorientation of becoming someone new without a roadmap. And then, the flip side, how powerful women in midlife actually are and are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to representation.       What began as one shared truth has grown into a body of work that invites women to speak without performance or pretense. From Dressing Room Confessions to their expanding projects, they're creating spaces where honesty breaks the silence—and real information is shared.        This conversation moves through what happens when we stop editing ourselves…
how shame dissolves when it's spoken…
and why even one person saying "I see you" can change everything.       It's not just about midlife.
It's about owning your voice, sharing your truth and what opens when we do it together.        Follow:  @constancezimmer, @abbyepsteinxoxo, @midlifemonologues, @mlifecollective, @talkfiftytome       Learn More:  https://themidlifecollective.co/     --       Stay connected with the Circle This team: @andreabendewald @circlethispodcast @emkratter @goodmessmedia @talkwithtrace   For sponsorship inquiries, email: [email protected]
