About If not now, then when...? (The Midlife Experiment)
Welcome to "If not now, then when...?", a podcast for midlife women who crave conversations that feel like a voice note from your bestie. We'll talk about the wild, beautiful process of reinventing yourself in midlife, from menopause & identity shifts to sensuality, grief & the radical act of becoming who you were always meant to be. Sprinkle in a little witchiness, some astrology, a touch of humour & a whole lot of truth!
If something inside you has been whispering that it's time to stop playing small & start expressing yourself fully, this is your reminder. Coz if not now, then when...?
EP36: Another experiment... but I need your help! [S3E12]
This was supposed to be the final episode of Season 3, but I feel like I still have so much I want to say. So I'll probably be back next week…
As we head into the final quarter of 2026, I've been thinking about what it means to step into what's next when the old version of you no longer fits. Nine months have passed. Something's ready to be born, and that means getting out of your own way again.
I share what I'm committing to for the rest of the year, including my intention of joie de vivre, and a little more of the messy behind-the-scenes of what it actually looks like to stop holding yourself back.
No polished plan, just me figuring it out as I go, and inviting you to come along for the ride. I'll be sharing updates on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVbz4KHiPPq/?igsh=MWdxeGRlOXlxZ3l3dQ==%E2%81%A0) so be sure to follow me there.

Sending so much love!

EP35: You’re as READY as you’ll ever be! [S3E11]
You know all those social media posts you save to revisit at sometime in the future then you completely forget about them? Are you doing the same thing with your dreams?
A few weeks ago I spoke to a group of aspiring podcasters, and our conversation got me thinking about how often we wait for the right time or the right resources. Like there's going to be some magical moment when you finally feel ready...
I know this one well. And one year into my own podcasting journey, I've learned that you can start with what you have, figure things out as you go, and trust yourself to take the next step. Because life is happening NOW.
My podcast turns ONE on 30 September, and this week's voice note is a little bit about podcasting, and a whole lot about what happens when you stop waiting until you're ready. I'm also asking you to make a decision. One decision that says, "I’m doing this for me."
You are worthy AF, now! Not some day, but today!!
And if you’re ready to take that step, my Plot Twist sessions are still available at R850 ($55) for the rest of September. These once off sessions help you get started now! Click here to book:

EP34: What if you stopped getting in your own way? [S3E10]
In this week’s conversation, I’m joined by Nicole Klassen, who made a move from Muizenberg to McGregor after feeling a deep call to return to her maternal ancestral lands. She had no idea what would unfold. She trusted what she was sensing and followed it anyway.
A year later, that decision has led to Beauty School, a community-based project working with young womxn, nature, traditional knowledge and the wisdom of the body, alongside the evolution of her own work around purpose, belonging and ancestral healing.
We talk about trusting yourself when something doesn’t make linear or rational sense, learning to recognise the wisdom of your body, knowing what is yours to do, and what can happen when you stop trying to figure everything out before you begin.
And, of course, we talk about the power of womxn in midlife stepping into their purpose, becoming more embodied and refusing to make themselves smaller or quieter.
This is a conversation about ancestral guidance and trust, because maybe you don't need to know how.
Here’s where you can find Nicole
