Hi there, I'm Allison Aubrey, longtime health and science correspondent, and I’m excited to share our new podcast and newsletter journey focused on midlife transitions. For years, I’ve covered the art + science of living well and longevity (minus the tech bro slant). And now, as I approach the empty nest years (my youngest is 15), like many Gen Xers I'm asking: what comes next?

Midlife is not the start of a slow fade. What I’ve learned – from reporting and personal experience – is that it’s an opportunity to step into a new stretch of life and take a chance on something new. I've interviewed dozens of people, from their 40’s and 50’s to centenarians, and what I see over and over is that as long as you stay curious and open, there's room for growth and adventure. This doesn't happen if you cling to the past! Asking what's next is akin to stepping onto a bridge; What can you leave behind as you cross to the other side? This might sound scary, but there's adventure and momentum waiting.

This is the idea behind my new podcast and newsletter journey, Your Turn with Allison Aubrey. 

Midlife comes with lots of twists and turns and you don’t need to figure them out all at once. Sign up for our newsletter journey - a series of emails delivered to your inbox filled with practical tools, evidence-based strategies and ideas to help you navigate what’s next. Along the way, our companion podcast weaves wisdom and evidence, with insights from top thinkers, experts and people who’ve made inspiring, life-defining changes in midlife and beyond.

Life is full of twists and turns, and this is an invitation to find yours. It’s your turn.
