Hi, I'm Rushmastajani, founder of Girls Who Code. Look, I'd consider myself a pretty successful

adult woman. I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids.

But here's the thing. I still wake up wondering, is this it? And if the best years are yet to come, when's that going to start? Join me on my

so-called midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media, where we're building a playbook for navigating

midlife, one episode at a time. Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests who've transformed their midlife crisis

into opportunities for growth and newfound purpose. At some point, we all ask ourselves,

is there more to life? I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you.

My so-called midlife is out now,

wherever you get your podcasts.

like, this is horrible. And society has done this. We raise boys and women, you know, I said I was reading this book by

Bell Hooks, The Will to Change. And it's about really how we raise men and boys in the society.
