Hello There

Somewhere around my 50th birthday, I looked in the mirror and thought, Who am I woman? She looked familiar maybe wiser eyes, a mix of strength and vulnerability but she didn’t quite feel like me. Or at least, not the me I used to know. That was the beginning of what I now see as a transformation. Not a midlife crisis, as the clichés would have it, but a wake-up call an invitation to pause, reevaluate, and ask: “What do I really want from this next chapter?” Spoiler: It wasn’t just about wrinkle creams or green smoothies (though both have earned their place in my routine). It was about something deeper a craving for clarity, connection, and confidence.

I wanted to feel more aligned in my body, mind, and spirit, even while navigating the not-so-glamorous moments of menopause, shifting roles, and the occasional late-night spiral of "Is it too late to start over?" So I created Thrive After 50. Not because I have all the answers, far from it but because I know I’m not alone.

There are so many of us in this stage of life, wondering how to show up with purpose, health, and joy, even when our hormones have other ideas.

This space is for us the women who’ve lived a lot, laughed a lot, cried a lot, and are still evolving. It’s a place to talk honestly about the changes we’re going through, to share tools that actually help, and to remind each other that this season of life can be powerful, vibrant, and deeply fulfilling. You won’t find perfection here. But you will find support, inspiration, and maybe even a laugh or two as we figure this all out together. So welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
