The Jen Marples Show
10/26/23 • 45 min
In today’s episode, my guest is fellow midlife warrior Julie Flakstad and we delve into the profound experience of midlife, a stage that can feel both liberating yet isolating despite our highly interconnected world. We’re all yearning for deep, authentic relationships where we can openly share the deepest truth about our lives. It's a time when we might mistakenly believe that everyone else has it all figured out except us. News flash - nobody has it all figured out! That's why we need each other!
Julie Flakstad is a speaker, writer, and founder ofThe Midlife Truth Project, an initiative to better understand the many transitions women often face as they settle into their 40s and 50s. Collectively these shared truths: enlightening truths, hard truths, vulnerable truths, and inspirational truths, will help us normalize and reframe what aging looks like today. She’s also working on a documentary about menopause and midlife.
In this episode, Julie and I discuss:
- Julie’s entrepreneurial journey and midlife realizations.
- Not undervaluing your skillset as you look to career pivot.
- The Midlife Truth Project & key learnings about midlife women.
- Why women feel alone & how we’re both changing this narrative.
- The profound impact of nurturing deep female friendships.
- The art of reevaluating your priorities in midlife.
- How to best support other women.

This week, episode 113 of The Jen Marples Show is about Entrepreneurship & Superfoods with Lisa Odenweller, CEO and Founder of Kroma Wellness.
Join me and my fantastic guest this week, Lisa Odenweller, CEO and founder of Kroma Wellness, for a robust discussion about entrepreneurship, pursuing your dreams, running a startup, and getting funded.

It’s also a must-listen for women wanting to nourish and support their changing midlife bodies.

Her impressive resume includes titles as Founder of organic superfood cafe, BEAMING Wellness and most recently, CEO and Founder of Kroma Wellness, the functional wellness brand that’s revolutionizing the way we think about nourishing our bodies. After falling in love with “superfoods” nearly two-decades ago, long before the word became commonplace within the health industry, Lisa began harnessing their power within her own life and began her mission to help others do the same.
Lisa and I discuss:
- Creating a business that aligns with your lifestyle.
- How our past failures are our biggest teachers.
- How she started Kroma.
