Happy Holidays Carters! We're gifting you Friday extrasodes this holiday season. Today, we want to introduce you to another Lemonada Media show the Aunties are loving. You know Ku and Su are living their midlife exactly how they want it. But that comes with a lot of changes (like...cold flashes?!) My So-Called Midlife is all about this era, and hosted by Reshma Saujani, CEO of Girls Who Code. Even as a mom with a shining CV to boot, Reshma is wondering "...Is this it?" So she's calling in reinforcements to figure it out. First up to bat is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who is about to officially graduate from midlife. At 63, she can confidently say that the last thirty years were… great, actually! Is it because she won multiple Emmys? Or maybe because she called out age biases in Hollywood by starring in Amy Schumer's Last F*ckable Day? Well, along with these milestones, Julia suffered a ton of loss and hardship in her 50s. So why does she say it's her best decade? It's all about the mindset. Plus, why Julia has 15,000 unread emails in her inbox -- and doesn't care. Find Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Instagram @officialjld and listen to her podcast, Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus Let us know how you're doing in midlife!
