Midlife with Courage

About Midlife with Courage

Are you a woman in your 40s, 50s, or beyond who is wondering what happened to the woman you used to be—and what's possible for the woman you're becoming? Midlife with Courage™ is for women who are ready to stop living small, stop waiting for permission, and start living life on their own terms. Each week, host Kim Benoy has honest, courageous conversations with women who are challenging expectations, letting go of the stories that have held them back, and finding the confidence to do things differently. Together, they explore courage, self-worth, identity, purpose, relationships, and what it really means to speak up, take up space, and put yourself back on your own priority list. Because midlife isn't about becoming someone new. It's about rediscovering who you are, trusting yourself, and having the courage to become the woman you want to be. You're not too old. You're not too late. And you don't need anyone's permission to live boldly.

Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And she said, don't have cancer. When you have something, it's like it becomes a part of you and you own it. She said, experience it or walk through it. And it was even retelling the story, I always get chills because it's just that change in the language, that little one word, right? From have to experience or have to walk through, which I guess is two words, really changed my entire outlook because cancer should not define anybody. Illness, disease should not define anybody, right? We are still the human being that we are. We just happen to have this experience that is A, probably not what we wanted and B, not optimal. […]
