Dog Walking Diaries: Aging Out Loud
Dog Walking Diaries
A candid, funny, and deeply authentic look at aging, identity, and all the messy, beautiful middle chapters—shared one vulnerable dog walk at a time with my therapist (aka my dog, Kermit). From hot flashes to hard truths, nothing’s off-limits—just fur, feelings, and real talk.
Ever wonder why midlife feels like puberty 2.0—with more wrinkles and way less control?
I’m Maia Daly, a forty-something lifelong Midwesterner (O-H-I-O!) just trying to make sense of all the weird, wonderful curveballs aging throws our way.
Welcome to Dog Walking Diaries, where we bravely (and hilariously) unpack the midlife surprises no one prepared us for. From brain fog to pill boxes, we’re finding the humor, the heart, and the occasional irrational rant, just because it feels good, in this messy metamorphosis.
Listen in for laughs, wisdom, and the ultimate “you’re not alone” comfort.
Proof that aging out loud is better with a dog!
