Chief coffee maker and Creativity Instigator around here.
Okay, yes, I'm also an award-winning novelist and the voice behind "I Used to Be Fun" – a podcast for anyone who remembers when spontaneous dance parties were a perfectly reasonable Tuesday night activity.
But whatever my title, I created this space for women like you who wonder when they became the kind of person who gets excited about buying a new scrubby sponge. Or has felt the specific horror of hearing yourself say, "back in my day" -- unironically.
Around here, we believe midlife isn't a crisis to be fixed, but an invitation to notice. To notice what makes us laugh. What cracks our hearts open. And what makes us feel wonderfully, unmistakably most like our true selves.
So, welcome. The coffee's always on (well, at least until 3pm, I am a woman of a certain age, after all). I saved you a comfy chair.
