Scenic Route through Midlife — Society, Self & Shifting Gears
A society & culture podcast from Jennifer Walter
We think deeply, feel a lot, and we’re done pretending mental load, exhaustion and burnout are personal failures. This is Scenic Route through Midlife.
Hosted by sociologist, mental health advocate, and millennial Jennifer Walter, we explore where society meets the self — perfectionism, overthinking, and people-pleasing, but also power, gender, capitalism, and social change.
We’re done with self-optimisation culture. Done with the myth that only men age like fine wine. And we believe healing isn’t just personal, it’s collective.
New episodes every Tuesday.
New affirmations every Friday.
The longest way round is the shortest way home. That’s why we’re taking the Scenic Route.
