Can You Start Over in Midlife? Kaurie DiBerardino Rebuilt Her Entire Life at 50 After a Career-Ending Injury"I used to be a hottie. Now I'm only hot in flashes." If that made you laugh and wince at once, this one's for you.Kaurie DiBerardino spent years as a pediatric physical therapist, a biologist, and a holistic nutritionist. Then, at 44, a back injury ended her career overnight. What followed was a decade she describes as heavy, dark, and more life than she knew how to carry. Her kids grew up and stopped needing her the way they used to. Her body stopped cooperating. And somewhere in there, menopause arrived.So she opened an Instagram account and started posting jokes. Her kids mocked her relentlessly. She had ten followers, one of whom was her cat.On Mother's Day 2025, a reel went viral, and the Former Hotties Club was born. Today, it is a community of thousands of women who show up in black leggings and messy buns to laugh together about the absurdity of getting older.This one is for you if you have ever thought it's too late, or that starting something new at 50 is embarrassing, or that everybody else has friends and you're the only one who feels this alone.What you'll learn:Why so many women feel invisible in midlife, and what actually shifts that feelingHow to start something new after 50 when you're terrified and have no followers yetWhy menopause loneliness hits hardest once the kids are out of the houseWhat actually changes mentally in menopause, and why so many women say they like themselves more afterwardHow to find your people again when school pickup is no longer your social lifeChapters:2:00 Hot in Flashes: The Menopause Design Flaw Nobody Warned Us About3:20 Meet Kaurie DiBerardino, the 54-Year-Old Accidental Midlife Influencer5:10 The Career-Ending Back Injury That Forced a Total Reinvention9:20 How the Former Hotties Club Got Its Name13:00 Gen X vs the Golden Girls: Why We Don't Look Like Our Mothers Did16:30 The Zero Fs Era: Losing Estrogen and Gaining Confidence20:00 How to Start Something New in Midlife When You're Scared24:10 Midlife Loneliness After the Kids Leave, and Why Community Helps27:10 Where to Find Kaurie and Join the Former Hotties ClubFind Kaurie: Former Hotties Club: https://formerhottiesclub.com Instagram: @theaccidentalmidlifeinfluencer TikTok: @formerhottiesclubSend us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses parental PTSD and how a hijacked nervous system can lead to catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, and rumination. If you struggle with parental PTSD, ask yourself: When did I first feel this way before becoming a parent? I sold my home and invested in building a new home with my fiancé, but he didn't contribute financially, and the home was destroyed by a hurricane. Now he's unsure about marriage and wants a prenup. What should I do? I've been married for 43 years. My husband is emotionally avoidant, and two years ago he told me he didn't love me anymore. He's in counseling now, but we haven't been intimate for 30 years. I feel stuck and afraid. Is there hope for our marriage? On Mother's Day, my husband told me he wants a divorce. We have children with special needs and haven't been intimate for 16 years, but I don't want our marriage to end. He's even started improving his appearance. Am I wrong to hold onto hope? When should I expect a call from my boss after being laid off last week? He's also my friend, and I helped him get the job. Should I reach out?

Cam Marston spent Father's Day at church alone, then had dinner with his own dad — and somewhere in between, figured something out. ----- Father's Day came and went last weekend. It coincided with my wife and my anniversary and the summer solstice – all on the same day. That must mean something. My wife chose to prioritize Father's Day because, well, twenty-nine years is a nice number but it's not all that special, and she wanted me to be celebrated by the kids. I went to church on Father's Day. My wife was going to join me but there was a puppy emergency, and she stayed home on the phone with poison control while I went off to church alone. On Mother's Day, the church is packed. It's a great service and a great celebration with everyone in their finest. It's one of my favorites of the year. But last Sunday, on Father's Day, the church was, well, much less than full. It's as if in anticipation of Mother's Day, the mothers let the family know they will all be going to church and to be ready. On Father's Day? Fathers just kinda go "ehhh. Let's go if it works out." I would have loved to have had my children with me, but I wanted them to want to go, not be made to go. "That's the exact wrong attitude," my wife told me. "You need to tell them what you want." Well, I want them to want to join me. Maybe that's asking too much. I keep a picture of my father near my coffee maker and glance at it most mornings while the coffee is brewing. He's somewhere in his mid-twenties in the picture, standing in someone's kitchen holding a fish he caught and showing it off to the camera. It's a good-sized speckled trout he probably caught somewhere around Dauphin Island over sixty years ago. My dad has been a menace to the speckled trout population his whole life. He can sniff them out, read the water, knows how deep to fish the bait, and come up with fish over and over again. I've been in the boat with him when we were catching fish doing what he told us, surrounded by boats who couldn't catch a thing. We were bringing them in, and they couldn't get a strike. It's my father's special magic. I showed him this picture Sunday night at my house. I invited him for a Father's Day dinner and he came and offered to bring, what else, fish. It was freshly caught snapper, and I've become a big fan of cooking everything in a cast iron skillet in the oven, and we had a heck of a meal. Dad looked at the picture and laughed. No telling how many pictures he's had taken of him holding up a fish. He didn't remember anything from the photo – it was a long time ago, after all. Maybe that's how it works with fathers. We don't demand to be remembered. We just show up, catch the fish, cook the meal, and hope something takes hold in the people we love. And sometimes it does. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just trying to Keep It Real. The puppy's fine, by the way.
Need a breakdown of the recent ruling on nationwide mifepristone access at the Supreme Court? Imani Gandy, Executive Producer, Legal Content & Culture with Rewire News Group, co-host of podcast Boom! Lawyered and host of podcast B*tch Listen and Jessica Mason Pieklo, Executive Producer, Legal Content & Advocacy with Rewire News Group and co-host of podcast Boom! Lawyered have got you covered. In 2024, the state of Louisiana sued the Food and Drug Administration over a rule change from 2023 that allowed mifepristone to be prescribed and dispensed remotely. Previously, the agency had required the pill to be dispensed in-person at a clinic or other health facility. On May 1, 2026, the FDA's rule was temporarily blocked, restricting mifepristone access nationwide. Emergency petitions were filed with the Supreme Court the next day, and on May 4, the stay was applied to the block until May 11. On May 14th, the Supreme Court continued to allow patients to access mifepristone.On Mother's Day, a website for new and expectant mothers called moms.gov dropped, pushing pro-natalist, eugenicist propaganda.For more information, check out: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/2058-two-blocks-from-the-white-houseSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!
The Sixth Sunday of EasterWhat if love isn't just something we feel, but something that shapes an entire community? On Mother's Day, Fr. John explores Jesus' command to “love one another,” the culture of grace created through relationships, and the quiet magnetism of communities rooted in compassion.
On Mother's Day in 1938, 4-year-old Marjorie West was picking wildflowers with her sister in the Allegheny Forest when she vanished. Within minutes, her family was searching. Within hours, hundreds of people were combing the woods. And within days, thousands of volunteers, law enforcement officers, and even the National Guard would join one of the largest searches Pennsylvania had ever seen. But despite the massive effort, no trace of Marjorie was ever found. Nearly 90 years later, her disappearance remains one of the most haunting missing child cases in American history. Was Marjorie lost in the forest? Was she taken? And how does a little girl vanish in broad daylight, surrounded by family, on what should have been a peaceful Mother's Day outing?

Sanctity of Life | Romans 5:6–8In this message, we look at the sanctity of human life through the authority of Scripture and the heart of the gospel.On Mother's Day, Wonder Church partnered with Love Life to pray, fast, give, and take practical steps toward creating a culture of love and life. This message addresses the difficult questions surrounding abortion, the value of the unborn, the responsibility of the Church, and the hope of the gospel for every person.Scripture teaches that God sees life in the womb as known, formed, valued, and purposed. From Jeremiah 1 to Psalm 139 to Luke 1, we see that unborn life is not hidden from God, forgotten by God, or less valuable to God. But this message does not stop at conviction. It also calls the Church to compassion, action, and care for mothers, fathers, children, orphans, and families in crisis.The heart of the message is Romans 5:6–8: while we were utterly helpless, Christ came for us. Just as the unborn are helpless, we were helpless in our sin. And just as life requires sacrifice, Jesus gave His life so that we could live.This is not only a message about life in the womb. It is a message about the gospel, the authority of Scripture, and the call of the Church to love both mother and child with truth, compassion, and courage.In this message: Why Christians build their worldview from Scripture, not culture What the Bible teaches about life in the womb How to think biblically about difficult and painful situations Why caring for orphans, widows, and vulnerable families is part of the sanctity of life How the gospel reveals God's heart for the helpless Practical ways to respond through prayer, fasting, giving, and action Scripture: Romans 5:6–8 Message Title: Sanctity of Life Partner: Love Life Theme: Life, compassion, Scripture, and the gospel
On Mother's Day, Toran wrapped up our series, “Festivals: Jesus and the Feasts,” by walking through the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkoth) and the three lessons God wanted Israel to remember: that they were once wanderers fully dependent on Him, that He is not a distant God but a with-you God who protects and provides, and that one day He will bring full restoration. He reminded us that everything we have is not because of our own strength or success, but because God has faithfully provided for us every step of the way. The message pointed to Jesus in John 7, where He declares Himself the living water and the light of the world — the fulfillment of everything the festival represented. We were challenged to ask ourselves which response we have toward Jesus: do we truly recognize Him as Savior and trust Him fully, or are we still trying to rely on ourselves?__Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus?

What are we chasing that only God can give? On Mother's Day, Co-Interim Lead Pastor Angela Linz walks through the stories of Rachel and Leah to show how comparison, longing, and waiting can leave us empty, but Jesus alone brings the love and fullness our hearts are searching for.
On Mother's Day, May 10th, 2026, Fr. Joshua speaks to the moms of the parish, inviting them to reflect on the gift of their Vocation. In particular, the ways we are tempted to not see our Vocation as a gift from God, but rather as a burden, a reward, or a waste. From that place, Christ wants to bring renewal. The key to that renewal lies in the words of St. Peter "Beloved, sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts." A fruitful vocation starts with knowing that we are beloved of God, and then response, to put him first in our hearts.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Judy Dawson shares insights on the importance of building what God has given in our hands. She encourages us not to become the victim of the past tragedies, but to rise above them and create a safe environment where future generations can flourish.
Pastor Matthew shared how faith is passed down through generations—especially through mothers and the women in our lives. On Mother's Day, he reminded us that their love, courage, and witness shape our faith, and we're called to carry that legacy forward.
-- Now what? You're trained and you carry a gun, and now you had to draw it in self protection or to help someone. How do you let the responding police know you are a good guy before they shoot you?

She shares what she learned about how the media approaches things that go bang.-- Guns for women.

What if the blessing of God is not just something we receive, but something we learn to live under? This week in God Might, Alan speaks on Mother's Day about Mighty Blessing — living under the mighty hand of God. Through the prayer of Jabez and the blessing of Numbers 6, we are reminded that God's heart is not to leave us defined by pain, limitation, or fear, but to bring us into blessing, increase, favor, and peace. Jabez carried a name connected to sorrow, but he refused to let pain name his future. Instead, he cried out boldly to the God of Israel: "Oh, that You would bless me indeed." His prayer becomes an invitation for us too — to ask God for more, to make room for increase, and to trust that His hand empowers, sustains, guides, and guards us. On Mother's Day, this message reminds us that the blessing of God reaches beyond one moment or one generation. He brings increase, covers families, opens new places of growth, and invites us to trust Him in the stretching. Mighty Blessing is an invitation to pray boldly, live open-handed, and walk with confidence under the mighty hand of God.

On Mother's Day, Pastor Mike Haman walks through the stories of three moms found in the Bible to encourage us that we can trust God in all circumstances, no matter what.
On Mother's Day at Cherry Hills Community Church, guest speaker Jennifer Rothschild shared a powerful and personal message about the sufficiency of God's grace in every season of life. Teaching from 2 Corinthians 12, she reflected on her journey with blindness and reminded listeners that while God may not always remove our struggles, His grace is always enough to carry us through them. With honesty, humor, and encouragement, Jennifer spoke to anyone dealing with pain, disappointment, fear, or unanswered prayers, pointing them back to the strength and comfort found in Christ. She challenged the church to trust that God can use even our hardest moments for good and to rest in His faithfulness instead of trying to carry everything alone. This meaningful Mother's Day message offered hope, peace, and a reminder that God's grace is present in every weakness and every circumstance.
On Mother's Day, Pastor Brandon shared a powerful message titled “Fight to Live in the Favor of God.” We don't drift into God's favor, we fight for it. Not by striving in our own strength, but by choosing obedience, humility, and faith in every season of life. Favor isn't just something we receive, it's a life we protect and walk in daily.

Week 2 of Healthy Relationships focused on the power of intentional influence, honor, and grace within the family. On Mother’s Day, we celebrated the women who shape generations through faith, prayer, consistency, and love — while also recognizing that God can work through imperfect people to create lasting impact. Healthy relationships begin with healed hearts, and the greatest gift we can give our families is pointing them toward Jesus.

On Mother's Day, churches across the world will celebrate mothers, honor women, and almost inevitably turn to Proverbs 31. But what if much of the way the church handles Mother's Day is deeply flawed?
Fr. Ken reflects on Jesus' promise to never leave us orphaned, reminding us that the Holy Spirit remains with us as a source of strength, unity, and hope. On Mother's Day, he honors mothers as living reflections of God's love—women who nurture faith, heal divisions, and quietly sustain families, the Church, and the parish community through sacrifice and prayer.
On Mother's Day, Pastor LyAnna Johnson pairs Jesus's farewell words to his disciples in John 14 with the surprising true origin of Mother's Day, a story that runs through abolitionist Julia Ward Howe and Civil War era organizer Ann Reeves Jarvis, not greeting cards. Both threads land on the same point: love isn't a feeling we keep in dreams, but something practiced in the hard, often unglamorous work of caring for one another. It's a reminder that the command to love God and love each other is simple to say and genuinely difficult to live, and that doing it anyway is the heritage we're meant to carry forward.
On Mother's Day, Pastor Luke preached from 1 Samuel about Hannah's desire for a child. He said that followers bring their: desires openly to their Master, offerings willingly to their Master, and praise cheerfully to their Master.
On Mother's Day, churches across the world will celebrate mothers, honor women, and almost inevitably turn to Proverbs 31. But what if much of the way the church handles Mother's Day is deeply flawed?
Send us Fan MailYou can love Jesus, serve hard, and still feel empty if you never slow down long enough to hear Him. On Mother's Day, we share moving stories from a missions trip to Iceland, where local churches unite, a women's conference opens doors, and several women respond to the gospel. One testimony comes from a 17-year-old who has carried anxiety and depression for years and describes what shifts when she finally makes her own decision to follow Jesus. It's a reminder that faith can't be borrowed, and peace is not just a personality trait, it's a gift from God.Then we get painfully practical about modern life: busyness is always available, and it can quietly crowd out prayer, Bible reading, church community, and the ability to hear God clearly. We build the message on Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God,” and we walk through Luke 10 with Mary and Martha. Martha opens the door for Jesus but gets distracted with serving, while Mary sits at His feet and chooses what cannot be taken away. The question lands close to home: have we invited Jesus in, yet missed Him by staying busy in the other room?We break “being still” into real steps you can practice: it's a choice, it requires intentional action, and it means relinquishing control. We also offer a clear invitation to salvation and practical next steps for anyone who wants to follow Jesus, get a Bible, and find a Bible-believing church. If this encourages you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the message.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org

On Mother's Day 2020, 49-year-old Suzanne Morphew went out for a bike ride near her home in Salida, Colorado… and never came back. At first, it looked like a tragic accident, maybe even a mountain lion attack. But the deeper investigators dug, the stranger things became. A missing phone. A staged scene. A husband with a story that kept shifting. And digital evidence that told a very different version of events. Then came the secrets: an affair no one saw coming, a hidden recording device, and a timeline that unraveled everything. For years, the case seemed to stall, raising more questions than answers… until a bombshell development no one saw coming changed everything.

In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum sits down with retired NYPD Sergeant and cold case expert Joe Giacalone to revisit the investigation, the early red flags, and the clues that continue to raise quesions, from the discovery of Susan’s bicycle to the inconsistencies that complicated the case. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl opens with the timeline of Susan Morphew’s disappearance and introduces guest Joe Giacalone • (1:30) The early facts of the case and first warning signs: missing bicycle, disabled surveillance cameras, and a Mother’s Day that went unnoticed • (2:00) The 911 call from a neighbor and Barry Morphew's arrival at the scene • (5:45) Inconsistencies in Barry's statements and the odor of chlorine in his hotel room • (9:30) Digital breadcrumbs: truck data, phone records, and deleted text messages • (10:30) The tranquilizer dart, the “chipmunk” story, and the forensic evidence found in the Morphew’s dryer • (16:45) The recovery of Susan's remains and what investigators believe it reveals• (19:00) Barry's behavior raises more questions: his calm demeanor, the sale of Susan's truck, and the discovery of the spy pen that exposed her affair • (26:00) How public pressure, social media, and speculation can influence a case • (28:00) Joe closes with a Mark Twain quote that captures what Barry Morphew failed to grasp: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Guest Bio: Joe Giacalone is a retired NYPD Sergeant and former Commanding Officer of the Bronx Cold Case Squad.

On Mother's Day weekend 2025, four friends set out to climb North Early Winters Spire in Washington's North Cascades, but a single rusted piton anchor failed during their descent, sending all four climbers plummeting 500 to 700 feet down the mountain. Three men died instantly from the fall, while 38-year-old Anton Tselykh miraculously survived despite suffering a cracked skull, broken ribs, internal bleeding, and head trauma. What followed was one of the most remarkable self-rescues in climbing history—and a mystery that even the U.S. Forest Service investigation couldn't explain: why did one man survive when three others didn't? 00:00 Introduction to Case Knives 00:25 Escape Ads with Patreon 00:59 Welcome to Crux True Survival Stories 01:34 Anton Tselykh's Nightmare Begins 03:15 The North Cascades: A Treacherous Terrain 05:38 Meet the Climbing Team 08:22 The Climb and the Descent 14:11 The Fatal Decision 19:01 The Climbers' Final Descent 20:03 The Fall and Its Immediate Aftermath 22:38 Anton's Struggle for Survival 25:07 The Rescue and Recovery Efforts 30:00 The Investigation and Findings 33:45 Lessons Learned and Final Thoughts Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References U.S. Forest Service Climbing Accident Report - North Early Winters Spire, Early Winters Couloir https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/kxly.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/8/44/844567ae-de1f-463b-9ba0-3c157259fb33/6848c7bac1406.pdf.pdf Okanogan County Sheriff's Office - Official Statements Methow Valley News - "Surviving climber shares harrowing account of fall" https://methowvalleynews.com/2025/05/22/surviving-climber-shares-harrowing-account-of-fall/ Spokesman-Review - "Report offers details on North Cascades climbing accident" https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/jun/10/report-offers-details-on-north-cascades-climbing-a/ CBS News - "Climber who survived fall that killed 3 friends was unconscious for hours, awoke in dark before seeking help" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/surviving-climber-fall-killed-3-unconscious-awoke-dark-calling-help/ CBS News - "Dramatic details emerge after climber survives 400-foot fall that killed 3 friends in Washington state" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/triple-fatal-climbing-fall-washington-state-survivor-details/ Seattle Times/Spokesman-Review - "What we know about the North Cascades climbing accident that killed three" https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/may/14/what-we-know-about-the-north-cascades-climbing-acc/ KOMO News - "Seattle climber recounts survival after 400-foot fall in North Cascades accident" https://komonews.com/news/local/400-foot-fall-north-cascades-deadly-incident-accident-okanogan-couny-satisfactory-condition-cristine-woodworth-tragedy-anchor-piton-failure-washington-state-40-miles-april-22 NCW Life - "Report: Piton failure sent mountaineers to their deaths" https://www.ncwlife.com/news/report-piton-failure-sent-mountaineers-to-their-deaths/article_2c279af4-37d7-41bd-8fce-36d90492bd23.html Your Source One - "Report: Missteps Caused Fatal Climb Fall in Okanogan County" https://www.yoursourceone.com/columbia_basin/report-series-of-missteps-led-to-deadly-north-cascades-climbing-fall-in-okanogan-county/article_f14ed12f-3b01-4a04-89b6-16a68de5529a.html KXLY News - "Report details what went wrong in accident that killed three climbers in the Washington Cascades" Fluke Corporation - Official Statement on Vishnu Irigireddy Facebook/GoFundMe - Olga Martynenko's Statements Okanogan County Search and Rescue (OCSAR) Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Mother's Day 1985, a call came into the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department that neighbors had not seen a mother of three, nor her three children in days. When they had gone to check on the welfare of the family, they could hear the youngest of the daughters crying. When they had looked through her window, they saw the toddler alone, wailing, desperately seeking comfort. A deputy came to respond to the distressing call, but it would not be the condition of the poor child that would shock the city of Fayetteville, it would be the horrors that lay beyond her room.
