The Iconic Midlife with Roxy Manning
What if midlife isn’t a crisis… but your most powerful chapter yet?
The Iconic Midlife is the unapologetic podcast for women 40 and over who are ready to own their next act with boldness, brains, and zero apologies. Hosted by longtime entertainment journalist and red carpet insider Roxy Manning, this weekly show challenges outdated narratives around aging—and delivers real, unfiltered conversations about reinvention, ambition, beauty, perimenopause, menopause, sex, money, wellness, friendship, and everything women were told to stop caring about after 40.
Each Tuesday, Roxy sits down with celebrity guests, health experts, industry disruptors, thought leaders, and fearless midlife voices to talk about what it really means to age with power, pleasure, and purpose.
Whether you’re navigating hormonal shifts or building your empire, The Iconic Midlife will make you feel bold, seen, and completely unbothered by anyone’s expectations but your own.
Midlife isn’t invisible. It’s iconic.
