How it Started
Meet Niki & Mich
We created What The Fifty because we couldn't find enough conversations that reflected the reality of modern midlife.
What began as two friends sharing stories has grown into a podcast, community, and movement that celebrates women embracing their next chapter with confidence and purpose.
Through every episode, event, and conversation, our goal is simple: to help women feel seen, supported, and excited about what's ahead.
About What The Fifty
More Than a Podcast
What The Fifty is a community built for women who know their best years aren't behind them. Through conversations, events, and shared experiences, we explore what it means to live fully, stay curious, and create a life that feels meaningful at every stage.
What started as conversations between friends became a platform for connection, growth, and possibility. Through the podcast and community, Niki & Mich are helping women reimagine what life after fifty can look like.

WTF100
As we approached the milestone of 100 episodes of the What The Fifty podcast, we knew we wanted to celebrate with something more meaningful than simply releasing another episode.
So, we created a four-night destination experience designed to help you live a truly abundant life—not just financially, but in every sense of the word. A life rich in health, purpose, relationships, confidence, experiences, generosity, and joy.
Over four unforgettable days, you'll be surrounded by a community of women who are equally committed to growth, connection, and living with intention. Through inspiring conversations, interactive workshops, wellness experiences, and meaningful connections, you'll discover practical tools, gain fresh perspectives, build lasting friendships, and create a clearer vision for what's next.
Most importantly, you'll be reminded that you don't have to navigate this chapter of life alone.
Born from 100 conversations, this extraordinary experience is an invitation to pause, reflect, reconnect with what matters most, and give life your full 100%.
We can't wait to welcome you.
