Hello and welcome to my blog ♥

I’m a therapist and a creative writer who has been dealing with a major midlife crisis. I figured that the best way to cope with it was to write about it.

One of my former coworkers back in Chicago nicknamed me The Cranky Old Bat, likely in response to my perimenopausal mood swings (and yes, we are still friends). As you can see, I embrace it enthusiastically, even though I’m not that old yet (right!?). 

When I’m not writing, I’m probably reading, drinking tea, watching Netflix, or walking in nature.

I live in Iowa with my two little dogs and one big cat.

I don’t use AI in my writing.  It might not be perfect, but it’s MINE.

Let’s discover together how to cope with aging, menopause, career changes, identity crisis, and, in general, being an older woman in today’s society. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions or comments, and don’t forget to subscribe!
