Finally, A Modern Woman's Guide To Navigating This Next Chapter
Midlife can feel full of transitions, responsibilities, and expectations. But it can also be a time to redefine how we connect with our people and with ourselves.
Join Stanford lecturer and therapist, Leah Weiss, PhD, for a LIVE 6-week course where we’ll move beyond hormones & financial checklists and have a real, relevant conversation about midlife as it’s actually experienced by GenXers like us.
HERE'S HOW IT ALL BREAKS DOWN
THE OLD WAY 🚫
- Living on outdated roadmaps from prior generations (retire at 65, keep grinding, put yourself last)
- Making decisions in silos (career here, health there, money somewhere else) without seeing the bigger picture
- Consuming endless podcasts/books/advice but never pulling it together into something actionable
- Quietly believing midlife means invisibility, decline, or that Gen X won’t bring its own spin and gifts to this stage of life
- Ignoring the deeper questions and consequently pay the cost in health, relationships, and purpose
THE MODERN WAY ✨
- See the whole picture in action: explore how your body, money, relationships, and purpose all connect and ripple into each other
- Research based tools with reflective practices to match the complexity of your life today
- Clear, actionable steps along with real support from someone who has been there
- Community of accomplished women who “get it” and are done with surface-level connections and conversations
- Creating a personalized Midlife Manifesto - with clear steps for what’s next FOR YOU!

Hi, I'm Dr. Leah Weiss!
I'm a Stanford lecturer, author, therapist, and researcher who has spent 25 years helping accomplished leaders navigate life’s big questions. I am also a mom, a wife, and the creator of The Midlife Curriculum.
I’ve worked with executives at Google, NATO, and NASA, and my work has been featured in The New York Times, TED Ideas, and BBC.
The Midlife Curriculum started as a personal framework. A way to pause and ask: What am I doing with this next stretch of life? And what kind of clarity and support would actually help?
Being the nerd I am, I went straight to the research. I dug into the developmental psychology around midlife transitions, and I talked to my therapy and coaching clients—smart, thoughtful women navigating this exact season.
The Midlife Curriculum draws from this experience plus cutting-edge research on midlife development to offer you frameworks that match your level of sophistication and honor the complexity of this life stage.
Backed By Research. Trusted By Experts.

BOOK YOUR CLARITY CALLHere's a more in-depth breakdown of everything we'll cover
I've packed this course with all the essentials for planning your most fulfilling next chapter.
This is the same strategy that I have used for my own life - and it's the same content I share with my private clients when they are moving through transitions in both life and career.
MODULE 1
Personal Growth, Identity, & Purpose
Leverage your life experience to strategically retool and realign your purpose. Using the "Life in Thirds" exercise you'll critically assess your past, present, and future to clarify values and craft a purposeful vision for your next chapter.
MODULE 2
Physical & Embodiment
Unpack the wisdom your body holds about midlife's challenges and potential. Gain tools for regulating your nervous system and recovering from burnout, complementing your journey with practices that enhance energy and resilience.
MODULE 3
Relationships & Connection
Transform and strengthen the relationships that reflect your values and aspirations. Learn to deepen communication, identify supportive communities, and gently release connections that no longer serve your growth.
MODULE 4
Financial & Security
Redefine financial security as a catalyst for freedom and stability. Reframe your money mindset to align financial goals with personal values, and determine what “enough” means for the legacy you intend to leave.
MODULE 5
Creative & Professional Reinvention
Explore the powerful potential of midlife for creative and professional rebirth. Reignite your sense of purpose, and design innovative paths that honor your accomplishments while embracing new opportunities for contribution and growth.
MODULE 6
Spiritual & Meaning
Explore the deep sources of spirituality and meaning that can enrich your midlife journey, whether through religion, ritual, or a humanist perspective. This module guides you in anchoring your life's purpose through personal reflection and structured exploration.
Capstone Project Share-Out
As you integrate these insights, prepare to share your crafted Midlife Manifesto with a supportive community, culminating in a celebration of your growth and plans for the future.
The Power of a Midlife Manifesto
We don’t have an information problem in midlife, we have an action problem. We’re flooded with advice, podcasts, and self-help tips, but clarity doesn’t come from consuming more.
Clarity comes from discerning what matters most and making choices that align, even when life is messy.
That’s where a personal manifesto comes in. Not a Pinterest quote or productivity hack, but a simple framework that helps you navigate competing priorities with integrity.
Research shows that living with purpose reduces stress, strengthens immunity, and builds resilience. In other words, alignment isn’t a luxury—it’s survival equipment.
What goes into a manifesto:
-
Priorities: Choosing quality over quantity in relationships.
-
Voice: Speaking up when silence could be costly.
-
Connection: Showing up with presence where it matters.
-
Creativity: Investing in growth beyond your comfort zone.
The Midlife Curriculum helps you create your own manifesto—so instead of reacting to circumstances, you can respond with clarity and claim this chapter of your life with confidence.
Consider this course your personal invitation to:
✨ Rethink what “enough” looks like at this stage
✨ Navigate career pivots, caregiving, and evolving identities
✨ Explore creativity, spirituality, and meaning on your own terms
✨ Reconnect with others asking the same big questions

Try our program for 7 days, risk-free
I want you to feel confident stepping into The Midlife Curriculum.
Core Track: Attend the first session and complete the prework and assigned exercises. If you don’t feel the program is valuable, email us within 7 days of the start date and we’ll refund your tuition in full.
Coaching Track: Because this track includes immediate onboarding, intake review, and private coaching, refunds work a little differently. You may request a refund within 7 days, less a $500 non-refundable portion to cover intake and onboarding. If you’ve already used one of your private sessions, an additional $500 will be deducted. After 7 days or after both private sessions are delivered, refunds are no longer available.
This way, you can invest knowing you’re covered if it’s not the right fit—while also respecting the high-touch nature of this founding cohort.
Let's Make This Next Chapter The Best One Yet
