Welcome to The House of Middlescence, your unofficial HQ for Living AGEfully, the solo life, second acts, careers and entrpreneurship. This isn’t a quiet chapter. It’s a glow-up and this is your mixed-tape of all things life after 40.
I’m Barbara Brooks, founder of SecondActWomen and The 40+Lab, solo-aging pup mom unapologetic champion of middlescent women (and the allies who get it), and your host here inside the content house for grown women rewriting what midlife really looks like.
Each week, we’re serving up LIVE real talk about career pivots, starting over, dating, building something new, personal branding, aging in the workplace, and everything else they don’t tell you about life after 40.
Expect unfiltered stories, expert convos, behind-the-scenes of running my second act, and a whole lot of “wait, what just happened?” moments because that’s life, and we’re living it boldly.
Whether you’re shifting careers, growing your own thing, or simply tired of being underestimated, this space is for you.
Because age isn’t a decline, it’s your damn rise.
Welcome to The House, houseguest. Take a seat.
