Second Wind Women is a long-form interview podcast for women navigating midlife reinvention, second acts, and unconventional careers. Each episode features candid conversations with women who’ve reimagined their lives across health, spirituality, entrepreneurship, relationships, and caregiving. If you’re wondering whether there’s a different path forward—in work, relationships, creativity, or how you show up in the world—these stories reveal what’s actually possible when you refuse to perform normal. Subscribe to discover the careers, opportunities, and possibilities you didn’t know existed.
Hosted by Karen Spies, Second Wind Women cuts through the noise of generic midlife advice by centering the actual experiences of women who’ve navigated identity shifts, external ruptures, and the hollow feeling that comes after doing everything right. This is editorial storytelling, not coaching. Whether you’re interested in midlife career changes, the nervous system, generational patterns, or what happens when your body sends signals you can’t ignore, you’ll find interviews with practitioners, entrepreneurs, healers, and visionaries who’ve traced their own reinvention back to the moment they stopped performing for an audience of one.
“What I love about Second Wind Women is that every guest reminds me that there isn’t one path to a meaningful life. Each of us has a unique story, and I’ve discovered careers, opportunities, and possibilities I never knew existed.”
