Get Ready to Thrive in Midlife

Midlife doesn't come with an instruction manual. A Certain Age is the next best thing.

Hosted by New York-based journalist and career coach Katie Fogarty, A Certain Age is a top 1% globally ranked podcast for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are done with the idea that midlife is something to just get through.

Expect real talk on menopause, perimenopause, midlife health, career reinvention, relationships, and fitness—with expert guests and zero BS.

280+ episodes and a new show dropping every Monday.

Hi, I’m Katie Fogarty

I launched A Certain Age 35 days before my 51st birthday—because I couldn't find the show I was looking for, so I built it.

I'm a journalist, career coach, and founder of The Reboot Group, a coaching company that has helped thousands of executives from Fortune 500 companies tell better career stories.

Before podcasting became my sixth act, I worked as a TV news writer, at global PR firms, on Capitol Hill, and even as an English teacher in Japan. I know a thing or two about reinvention.

That background shapes every conversation I have on this show. I know how to ask the questions that get to the heart of things—and I know firsthand what it feels like to be navigating a new chapter with no roadmap.

A native New Yorker, I recently made my own midlife move—selling our family home of 20 years and heading back to New York City when our youngest left for college.

Empty nest, new chapter, new zip code. Let’s go!
