Midlife and Glowing
Welcome to Midlife and Glowing — the show for women who are ready to glow through midlife, not just go through it.
We’re sisters, Alicia and Nicole — wellness lovers, beauty enthusiasts, and your new midlife hype squad. Around here, we talk about the real stuff: wellness rituals, hormone health, self-care, beauty, style, and everything that helps you feel like yourself again.
If you’ve been feeling a little off lately — like your energy’s dipped, your moods are swinging, your body’s changing, and you’re wondering what is even happening — you're so not alone. Perimenopause can feel like a wild ride, but it doesn’t have to dim your glow.
Each week, we’re diving into honest conversations, practical tools, and feel-good inspiration to help you feel empowered, centered, and vibrant in this season of change.
Midlife doesn’t have to be a downward spiral. It could be your best era yet. Let’s glow through it together!
