Perhaps this news isn’t as juicy as you were hoping but it’s still big news – for us all. Embrace the Middle is “our” book with “our” stories. Forget about being invisible, whispering about menopausal woes, and all the other bullshit associated with being a…
Do You Ever Feel Invisible? If so, You’re NOT Alone
Invisibility in midlife – feeling unseen, dismissed, or ignored – is an unfortunate reality for many of us. Whether it is walking past a group of men (or women) and realizing they aren’t even acknowledging our existence or our colleagues talking over or around us, it can be a rude…
The Power of Acceptance
When my mother Jackie started developing dementia, I did not want to accept that this was her reality. She was a tireless leader, wife, mother, grandmother, and beacon of her community. I was pained even thinking about my mother being confused, uncertain, or dependent….
Why is it so Hard to Meditate? Here’s the lowdown
“I know it would be good for me to meditate so why is it so hard to get myself to do it?” This is one of the top three questions I am routinely asked by clients and friends. So, if you are wondering this, you have…
Women Supporting Women: It’s More than a Hashtag
Last Thursday I drove to L.A. to attend an author book event at the Ms. Magazine (as in, the feminist journal) headquarters. Just writing that makes me feel cool. I was curious to see Dr. Sharon Malone interviewed about her new bestselling book, Grown Women Talk. I was also intrigued…

Embracing the “Not Exactly What We Planned” Vacation
It was the night before our long-awaited 25th anniversary trip to Costa Rica. I left an acupuncture appointment with eight sexy (not!) cupping marks on my back, which would be in full display on my bathing-suit-laden vacation. I didn’t care. I finally felt well after two weeks…
Embracing Time and 59
Tomorrow, March 3rd, I turn 59. It is mostly significant because it is the eve of 60. Now that’s a wow number. Me? 60? But, I’m not there yet. I am grateful for every year around the sun, despite the larger numbers. It is a gift…
Own, Rather than Bemoan, Your Accomplishments
I’m answering emails and half watching the 2024 Emmy Awards on TV, mostly to see the fancy dresses and gorgeous humans. I gaze up from my laptop as Niecy Nash-Betts accepts her trophy for Outstanding Supporting Actress, proudly raises it to the sky, and yells “I’m…
