We bet you didn't get the midlife memo. Neither did we. So, we wrote a girlfriend's guide to crack the code on everything - from food and hormones to sex and money. Spoiler alert. It's not all rainbows and unicorns, but we are TALKING ABOUT IT. Now more than ever we need each other. This book is not just a guide but a bold confession. We are telling it like it is, like you would want to hear from a dear friend. We have real stories from friends and clients who have navigated the midlife maze and advice from experts because, let's face it, women need a roadmap for this wild ride!

JULIE FEDELI & PAMELA DEROSE have been friends and collaborators for over a decade, united by their passion for uplifting women's health and well-being. Together, they've supported hundreds of women in navigating the challenges and opportunities of midlife. Together, they are on a mission to empower midlife women everywhere to embrace their brilliance and thrive.

Julie is a devoted mother and a fierce advocate for women. It was her complete recovery from a debilitating autoimmune illness that became the unlikely guide toward her true passion, helping other women become radiantly healthy and live abundantly. An inspirational entrepreneur, mentor, certified health and longevity coach, speaker, and author, Julie offers individual consulting for women longing for holistic well-being. Hosting large scale, women's events, and as a maven in her community, she creates intentional space for women to gather.

Pamela, MBA, blends decades of business acumen with a personal mission to guide women through the midlife transition. A certified health and wellness coach and raw vegan chef, she equips women with practical tools to reclaim vitality and authenticity. Her own midlife 'crisis' led her to uncover the wisdom that is the foundation of her work. When not speaking or coaching, Pamela enjoys family gatherings and long walks with her husband and rescue pup, Stella.

Julie Fedeli is a devoted mother and a fierce advocate for women. An inspirational entrepreneur, mentor, certified health and longevity coach, speaker, and author, Julie offers individual consulting for women longing for holistic well-being and insightful, comprehensive support for their midlife journeys.

She loves delicious food, traveling to beautiful and exotic places, incredible art and music, swimming daily, and all the wonderful people in her life. Pamela DeRose, MBA, wife and mother, tapped into the entrepreneurial drive early, but it was her own midlife ""crisis"" that sparked her true purpose, guiding other women to harness their own inner wisdom during those chaotic years. She provides practical tools to empower women to live their healthiest, most vibrant, and authentic lives through the midlife transition and beyond. When not speaking or counseling clients, you will find her hosting family gatherings with amazing food and going for long strolls with her dear husband and rescue pup, Stella. Pamela holds space for all women ready to write their next chapter.

Reviews for Midlife Upgrade: A Girlfriend's Guide to Finding Your Power in the Pause

""Honest and empowering. More people deserve to know what is coming in midlife. This book delivers!"" -Kelly Casperson, MD, best-selling author of You Are Not Broken and the award-winning podcast by the same name, Instagram/@kellycaspersonmd ""Midlife Upgrade isn't just a guide-it's a lifeline for any woman navigating the chaos and beauty of midlife. Julie and Pam have done what so many women dream of: they've turned honest conversations between best friends into a compassionate, evidence-based, and empowering manual for this next chapter. Whether you're facing hot flashes, brain fog, or just the need to feel seen, these pages deliver wisdom, warmth, and real solutions-with a sense of humor and a fierce belief in your power to thrive."" -Tamsen Fadal, NYT best-selling author of How to Menopause and Documentary Producer of The (M) Factor, Instagram/@tamsenfadal ""Congratulations to Julie Fedeli and Pamela DeRose on the publication of your insightful book, Midlife Upgrade! This thoughtful exploration beautifully captures the complexities and joys of midlife. Your work will inspire many to embrace this transformative phase with confidence and grace. Well done!"" -Dr. Sharon Malone, Chief Medical Advisor, Alloy Women's Health, and New York Times Best Selling Author of Grown Woman Talk ""Midlife isn't the beginning of the end; it's the beginning of ownership. This book is a wake-up call wrapped in wisdom. Julie and Pamela don't sugarcoat the symptoms or sidestep the stigma; they confront the silence around menopause, identity shifts, loss, and reinvention with honesty, elegance, and experience. This book doesn't ask women to cope, it challenges them to upgrade. If you've ever been told ""this is just part of getting older,"" this book is for YOU!"" -Somi Javaid, MD, FACOG, Founder HerMD, and disruptHER podcast, Instagram/@somijavaidmd ""How completely apropos and timely to read a book by two best friends who discover and nurture each other and their surrounding hive through menopause and yet how shocking that this has not yet been done given the fact that this is how life typically works and works at its best-by listening and learning and an exchange of energy between two people with a shared experience! Who better to guide you through the shite that is perimenopause into the post-menopausal years than your BFF? Kudos to Pam and Julie for documenting the journey that SO many women traverse-the lucky ones have their best gal pals (and a handful of great clinicians) by their side. For the rest, there is Midlife Upgrade!"" -Shieva Ghofrany, MD, OBGYN, co-founder of Tribe Called V, Instagram/@gynogirl
