Launching October 15, Your Turn with Allison Aubrey is here to help listeners embrace life’s many twists and turns through a blend of inspiring stories, evidence-backed tools and earned wisdom. The new 10-episode series is hosted by NPR’s award–winning health and science correspondent Allison Aubrey, and produced by WBUR, Boston’s NPR.

As a founding host of NPR’s Life Kit, and the creator of the How to Thrive As You Age project, Aubrey blends expertise with warmth and curiosity. Each week, she invites thought-leaders, health and relationship experts, and inspiring people who’ve made their own midlife pivots to share their stories. Episodes will balance wisdom and evidence-backed strategies for feeling healthier, more connected and more excited about what’s next. Listeners will walk away with a “playbook” to move forward — including how to define your strengths and match them to new opportunities in midlife, how to find the euphoric “flow state,” as well as actionable, practical steps to promote good physical and emotional health.
