FAQ

  • Katie Fogarty, a New York-based journalist and career coach, hosts A Certain Age. She launched the show 35 days before her 51st birthday because the podcast she needed for this chapter didn't exist yet.

  • Every Monday. 280+ episodes and counting.

  • Perimenopause, menopause, career reinvention, relationships, health, sex and intimacy, beauty, and money — real conversations for women who know their best chapter hasn't been written yet.

  • Women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are done waiting for permission and ready for expert-backed, zero-BS conversations that actually apply to their lives right now.

  • Because there's no single age when menopause hits. No single age your kids leave, your career needs reimagining, or you take the car keys from an aging parent. But if you live long enough, you'll go through all of it. At a certain age.

  • Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. New episodes every Monday.

Guests include Stacy London, Tamsen Fadal, Eve Rodsky, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Jenn Sherman, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, Dr. Vonda Wright, Jane Green, Shannon Watts, Reshma Saujani

Hi, I’m Katie Fogarty

I launched A Certain Age 35 days before my 51st birthday—because I couldn't find a podcast that celebrated midlife, 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 midlife 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!
