The Threshold
The Threshold is a podcast for women navigating midlife, healing, and the in-between. Hosted by Angie Schaffer — threshold guide and a woman walking her own midlife crossing — these conversations and reflections are for the woman who feels something shifting. Something ending. Something not yet arrived. You haven’t found this by accident. New episodes every Tuesday.
