Midlife Reclaimed (formerly When Burnout Becomes Reality)

Welcome to Midlife Reclaimed, the podcast where we challenge outdated norms and explore what it means to thrive in midlife. I’m your host, Shannon A Swales—a psychologist, writer, and midlife woman who found a new path after a life-changing midlife burnout. While this show grew from my original focus on burnout recovery (When Burnout Becomes Reality), it has evolved to dive even deeper into how we can rewrite the rules of midlife with openness, courage, and purpose.

Twice a month, we’ll share stories of true resilience, transformation, and growth, uncovering practical insights to help you create a life that feels genuine and free. Whether you’re questioning hustle culture, craving deeper connections, or simply seeking inspiration for what’s next, this is your space to explore, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible—especially if you’ve ever felt burned out or ready for a fresh start.

Join us as we reclaim midlife—one bold, open-hearted step at a time.
