A conversation with the Refinery29 founder and mind behind A Tiny Apt. about what midlife sharpens: your sense of what matters, what no longer fits, and how your surroundings affect your mood, sleep, and energy. Christene explains why small changes at home can reduce background stress, why reinvention feels more urgent with age, and how to make choices that reflect who you are now rather than who you used to be. Listeners will come away with a clearer way to think about editing their space, protecting their attention, and moving toward change without waiting for perfect conditions. It is a practical episode about building a life that feels more intentional, more livable, and less crowded by other people’s expectations.

Key Moments

“And I’m gonna tell you, if you have trouble sleeping, paint your bedroom a dark color, because my husband and I feel like we are in a hotel room every night.”

“I don’t want to leave anything on the table. I want to make it to the end and just be like, I f***ing played that hand so well, and I didn’t play it small. And that can be really scary, you know, especially when you feel like failure is more detrimental as you get older and harder to recover from.”

“You don’t have to conquer your goals overnight, but when you start moving in the direction of it, when you make that decision, it is like, miracles really do start to happen.”

Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Ever wonder what holographic communication actually looks like in practice? Joanne Stanway, in tandem with Proto, has her finger on the pulse and plays an active role in the development of the medium, from life-size live beaming to AI personas that can answer questions in real time. She also gives a clear account of late-career reinvention, including what changed when she left a long-term PR role to start a company with her daughter at 62. Listeners will come away with a better understanding of how this technology can improve training, education, and patient communication rather than simply add novelty to an experience. The episode is especially useful for anyone thinking about the future of healthcare, women-led entrepreneurship, and how to keep evolving without aging into someone else’s idea of obsolete.

Dr. Chris Rhodes explains what fasting is actually doing in the body, where the benefits begin, and why shorter fasting windows may not deliver what many people expect. He walks us through the science behind fasting mimetics, including how his team studied a 36-hour fast and built a supplement around the molecules that arise during it. You come away with a clearer way to think about hunger control, food noise, metabolic health, and the tradeoffs between fasting, appetite-suppressing drugs, and everyday eating. He also offers a sharp take on saturated fat hype and makes the case for a more personal, evidence-based future in nutrition.

Key Moments

"What most people do not realize is that they are often not getting the benefits of fasting that they think that they are getting."

“From a biological perspective, it takes around 24 hours without food in order to actually activate that metabolic switch where you're going from, you know, fed metabolism, glucose metabolism, over into ketone metabolism and fasting metabolism.”

"Let's find patterns that work specifically for you."
