The Midlife Truth Project is a limited series podcast, co-hosted by Julie Flakstad and the brilliant Dr. Taz.
Why? Because midlife is one of the biggest, most explosive periods in a woman’s life – yet we don’t talk about it – why is that?
Imagine midlife as a series of waves all crashing onto shore; everything from what’s happening to our bodies in conjunction with perimenopause and menopause, evolving friendships, changing family dynamics, aging parents, financial security, to the often bigger question of what’s next?
Designed as an intimate audio journey, each episode will feature open, smart, ‘go-there’ style conversations with leading experts, authors, celebrities, thought leaders and public figures. Collectively, by delving into these unspoken, shared truths, The Midlife Truth Project PODCAST will help women feel less alone and more inspired to live their best chapters yet.
At the turn of the millennium, a five-year-old boy from Cuba found off the Florida coast on Thanksgiving became the most talked about child in America. Elián González had left Cuba with his mom and a dozen other migrants, trying to make it to the U.S. but on the way, the boat capsized. Elián’s mother drowned. Before she did, she tied her child to an inner tube, saving his life.
Relatives in Miami — Cuban exiles — took the boy in. His father in Cuba wanted him back. The ensuing international custody battle over Elián González became its own mini Cold War, pitting Cuban exiles in Miami against supporters of Castro’s regime on an island just 90 miles away.
The fight over Elián’s future came down to neighbor against neighbor, family against family. Now, 25 years later — we revisit his story through the voices of people who lived it firsthand.
