| 8/29/26 |  Midlife Reinvention, Inner Wisdom, Authenticity and Aging Well with Kathy Robinson | Episode Description What happens when you've achieved everything you thought you wanted, only to discover there's something deeper calling you? For more than thirty years, Kathy Robinson built an impressive corporate career, rising to become Chief Audit Executive and Chief Risk Officer at a Fortune 250 company.

| 8/22/26 |  What Happens When the Strategies That Made You Successful Stop Working? | For years, Nancy Deyo lived by the same rules many of us have been taught to follow: work hard, stay disciplined, push through discomfort, and keep going. Those strategies helped her build a successful career as a Silicon Valley CEO. But after a medical crisis on Mount Kilimanjaro left her living with chronic pain, years of misdiagnosis, opioid dependence, and an entirely different reality than the one she had planned, she was forced to ask a difficult question: What do we do when the strateg... | 44m 05s | ||||||
| 8/15/26 |  What Remains When Memory Fades? Alzheimer's, Caregiving, and the Legacy of Storytelling | What happens when the person who once cared for you begins to need your care? For many people in midlife, one of the most unexpected transitions isn't retirement, an empty nest, or a career change. It's becoming the caregiver for an aging parent. In this deeply moving episode of Message in the Middle, Marianne sits down with psychologist, memoirist, and poet Sarah Vosburgh to discuss her memoir, Who Will Name the Bees?, a powerful reflection on her mother's journey through Alzheimer's disease... | 50m 35s | ||||||

Or found yourself repeating the same emotional patterns despite years of self-reflection and personal growth? In this follow-up conversation, Marianne welcomes licensed somatic psychotherapist and certified spiritual integration hypnotherapist Melanie Smithson back to Message in the Middle to expl... | 1h 05m 56s | ||||||
| 8/1/26 |  Why Do I Keep Reacting Like This? Understanding the Hidden Stories Behind Your Triggers | Why do we keep reacting in ways we don't fully understand? Why do certain situations seem to hit harder than they should? And why can we have years of insight into our patterns and still feel stuck repeating them? In this episode of Message in the Middle, Marianne sits down with Karen Rubinstein, speaker, author, and creator of The RETURN Way™, to explore the hidden fears and stories that often drive our reactions, relationships, and behaviors. Drawing from her own journey through alcoholism,... | 48m 10s | ||||||
| 7/25/26 |  The Cost of Speaking Up: Lisa Cornwell on Truth, Self-Awareness, and Finding Peace After Conflict | What happens after you speak up?
