In this episode of the Midlife Energy Podcast, I chat with the inspiring Philippa Page — a seasoned nurse, mother of five, grandmother, and fierce advocate for women’s well-being. At 60, Philippa brings deep wisdom from her decades-long career in midwifery, emergency care, and family health, alongside the lived experience of navigating life beyond active parenting.

- How to prepare before the children leave the nest
- Identity shifts that occur after years of motherhood
- Self-care and ritual when you live remotely
- Rediscovering purpose, friendships, and joy in later seasons of life
