Just can't.

Switching gears on books, uh, I also just wrapped up Alison Aubrey's book called Your Turn: How to Create a Midlife You Love.

You might recognize Alison's name if you're an NPR listener.

Yes, it's that Alison Aubrey To keep it real with you, I have dialed down the number of books I read that would fall into the personal development genre, in part because the churn on these titles is crazy.

Like, there's so many, like, who are these people and why would I be listening to anything they have to say? You know, I picked up a few of these, thank God they were library books, but they felt like they'd made a book out of something that would have been more appropriate as a blog post.

Okay? Like, not every idea is book length, Bob.

I think as women in midlife, we can all relate to that feeling.

I'm Allison Aubrey, and this is Your Turn.

It's a new podcast that will hopefully feel kinda like a road map for midlife.

We're gonna talk about all the twists and turns of navigating this often messy next stretch, the obstacles, the opportunities.

In midlife, you don't have to completely reinvent yourself.

You can go back to the things that you've been doing for decades or something you may have mastered as a kid or a young adult, and you can ask, "How can I use that now?" What is it that's inside of you that makes you feel alive, that brings you joy, that can make you feel blissful, and how can you use it today in a way that's different from the way you've used it in the past? Your Turn is a production of WVUR in partnership with NPR.

It's hosted by me, Allison Aubrey.

Our producer is Carrie Thompson.
