Summary

This week, we’re thrilled to introduce My So-Called Midlife, a new podcast by Reshma Saujani and Lemonada Media.

“Is this it?” That’s the question Reshma Saujani, founder of two successful nonprofits, asks herself every day. She’s married to a great guy, raising two beautiful kids, and has achieved everything she thought she wanted—so why does midlife feel so… unfulfilling? Determined to find answers, and with her group chat cheering her on, Reshma’s bringing in reinforcements. In My So-Called Midlife, she sits down with brilliant minds like Chelsea Clinton, Emily Oster, Cheryl Strayed, and more to explore how we can stop simply surviving this phase of life and start truly living it.

In today’s episode, Reshma chats with her friend, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, about how to stay present while balancing kids, a marriage and the highest of high-pressure jobs in the world.

0:00.0	Hey, everyone, it's David Decovne. Do you ever feel like a failure?
0:05.1	Trust me, I get it. Hell, I've spent my whole life almost feeling like a failure.
0:11.3	It's appropriate, though, because on Fail Better, my new podcast with Lemonada Media,
0:16.5	exploring the world of failure, how it holds us back, propels us forward, and ultimately
0:21.5	shapes our lives is the whole point. Each week I'll chat with artists, athletes, actors,
0:28.1	and experts about how our perceived failures have actually been our biggest catalysts for growth,
0:34.4	revelation, and even healing. Through these conversations, I hope we can learn how to embrace
0:39.3	the opportunity of failure and fail better together. Fail Better is out on May 7th, wherever you get your
0:46.2	podcasts. Hi, I'm Kulap Vilaisak, and I'm Sujim Pock. And we're your aunties on Add to Cart, a podcast all about the things we buy, the things
0:57.3	we buy into, and what that says about who we are.
1:00.0	We're real life friends who love to talk about what we're adding to cart.
1:04.3	Sometimes that means trying the latest snail serum to slather on our faces, or a sweater
1:09.7	that screams one-third ugly. That's right,
1:12.4	Sue. Each week we dive into honest, oftentimes TMI conversations about what's taking up space
1:17.6	in our shopping carts and in our minds, be it products, trends, or something for our Auntie
1:21.9	Book Club. We also bring guests on the show and take a peek into their carts because the things
1:26.3	a person buys or doesn't says a lot about them. We like to think of ourselves as aunties to all, fun, slightly
1:33.9	unhinged and always ready to share some sage advice and a good product wreck. Add to Cart is out now
1:41.2	wherever you get your podcast.
2:00.5	Midlife for me feels like more freedom than I really anticipated. I feel like I've had this really big vision for my life
2:05.7	and that the past 42 and a half years have been, you know, not planting a handful of seeds,
2:12.5	but planting like enormous bags of seed. I feel like midlife is starting to see all of the fruits of that labor.
