“I want you to know what your options are at this point in your life.”In this special episode, we’re breaking from our usual format to bring Hotter Than Ever producer, Erica, out from behind the scenes for a candid conversation with Erin about the podcast's journey and it’s future. Inspired by thoughtful feedback from our hottie listeners and Erin’s reflections during this ‘slow-roll summer,’ we’re diving into Erin’s evolving views on midlife, personal transformation, and the unique challenges and opportunities facing women over 40 as we navigate this uncharted chapter of life.While the road ahead is filled with uncertainty, one thing remains clear: Hotter Than Ever is committed to offering our community not coaching or self-help advice, but a variety of possibilities for thriving in midlife and beyond. Join us as we discuss the themes and ideas that have shaped this podcast and will drive its next evolution, including:The myth of “having it all,” its impact on women, and why a stronger support system and equal distribution of labor are essential.The feminization of wealth and the potential for women to increasingly step into their power.Unpacking the systemic nature of the stresses and challenges women face in midlife.Embracing the unknown and discovering new ways to live, even without a clear precedent or roadmap.Reconnecting with the joie de vivre of youth, while harnessing the wisdom and experience that comes with midlife.Why being in community is vital for our emotional and social well-being.What’s next for Hotter Than Ever: a book, live events, stand-up comedy, filmed episodes, partnerships, and more!Want more Hotter Than Ever?
