FAQs

What is Midlife Musings?

What is Midlife Musings?

Your heartfelt space curated for midlife women to navigate this journey with beauty, balance, and a touch of tranquility. Midlife Musings sprouted from my desire for a space to share tranquility tools and tales, along with meaningful reflections and tranquil moments within the whirlwind of midlife. This Substack is an extension of that quest. It’s a space dedicated to the vibrant, sometimes challenging (hello, menopause!) journey of midlife. Here you’ll find insights, inspirations, and a community that understands and supports our unique journey.

As a free or paid subscriber, you’ll receive midlife magic straight to your inbox. You can also access everything in the Substack App. Add your favorite Substack writers and design a customized feed full of what you love! There’s also the option to upgrade to a paid subscription for as little as $1.90 per week. 

Paid subscribers get extra perks like:

★ New monthly tranquility tools including private podcasts, guided meditations, journal prompts, Spotify playlist, and more
★ Occasional bonus private podcasts, posts, and/or Q&A sessions
★ My “Midlife Month in Review” posts, where we reflect each month, share highlights and lessons learned, and capture our dreams for the month ahead
★ Access to a complimentary digital course of your choice in the Atelier
★ Bonus access to my 20 years of blogging archives—it’s a treasure trove of tranquil content in the Atelier

★ And more perks sprinkled in throughout the year!

Plus, access to a private community where you can engage in member-only chat discussions and connect with a like-hearted community.

 What causes will be supported?

Pigs and pugs, the environment, and orangutans are close to my heart, so Pigs & Pugs Project, 1% for the Planet, and Borneo Orangutan Survival will receive a percentage of the subscription sales.

Pigs & Pugs Project raises awareness through special events and supports the work of pig sanctuaries and pug rescue organizations throughout the United States with micro-grants. Our mission is to make the lives of pigs and pugs happier and healthier.

Thank you for helping support our mission!

Inspiration

I started sharing tales about tranquility through my blog in 2004 and podcast in 2005. I feel like we’ve grown up together and are now in a new, exciting phase. Creating Midlife Musings has been on my heart as a way to reach out to you, share the path I’m on, and invite you to join me. 

Over the years, Tranquility du Jour has served as a space for creative expression in person and online. Now it’s back in a new format on Substack with a similar intention—to provide nourishment to help you live fully and beautifully and to celebrate life’s simple pleasures as we journey through this second stage of life.

Pulling from my work as a psychotherapist, wellness entrepreneur, and tranquility seeker, these monthly tools highlight the season we’re in and showcase practices helping me find more beauty and balance on this path.
