Welcome to Mixing Up Midlife, a weekly show for women in their 50's and beyond who want to explore this incredible age by being more adventurous and more curious. 
Each week Terri and Melissa talk about what matters most to empty-nesters and mid-life women.
Part reality show, part audio diary and part cocktail hour, this show is about remembering how to have fun in midlife.

Leave us a review if you enjoyed the podcast. As always, thanks for listening to Mixing Up Midlife, a podcast for women over 50 who are adventurous, curious and want to have fun.

Should you learn to knit in midlife?

In this episode, Melissa convinces Terri that knitting is great and that she can do it-with a little help from her friend!

Terri definitely has her doubts. Can we complete a project before Halloween?

Trigger warning:

this knitting challenge is directly related to holiday gift giving and fingerless gloves are the gift of choice. 

Melissa wants to make gifts for everyone for the holidays and Terri seems to want to get rid of the gifts before they even get given.

 

The ladies talk knots, fast fashion, more gifts, why we feel like we need an excuse to relax and of course, there’s a cocktail and our Weekend Watch!
