We all know the feeling: You’ve been charging around at full speed, juggling work, driving kids to jobs and activities, eating in the car, running errands, managing schedules, checking on your parents, trimming sleep to get stuff done. Yet there’s always one more load of laundry to do…one more...

Inaugural VeXXed episode alert!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled yelling at TVs, phones and husbands, in order to channel our ideas and start a conversation with all of you about the issues affecting women in midlife.

On the first episode of VeXXED, a “maiden voyage” into this podcasting venture together, we introduce ourselves and this podcast, and give you an idea of what to expect in future episodes.

We are thrilled to be starting a conversation with fellow VeXXers!

I’m digging into this book and it’s so good for all its insights from many different perspectives. Highly recommend.

“This book tackles the complex and often misunderstood topic of women’s lived experience of mid-life, with insights from interviews with more than one hundred women. Written in a style that is both accessible and informative, Ann Douglas brings us a book which delivers on her intentions “to shine a spotlight on the radical, transformative potential of midlife”. In these pages, the reader is invited into a cornucopia of women’s stories, challenging the invisibility often associated with this stage of life, and ultimately drawing us towards a collective reimagining of the female life cycle.”
— Molly Andrews, co-director, Association for Narrative Research and Practice

Advance praise for Ann Douglas' new book NAVIGATING THE MESSY MIDDLE: A FIERCELY HONEST AND WILDLY ENCOURAGING GUIDE FOR MIDLIFE WOMEN

The firing of Lisa LaFlamme, who dared to let her hair go grey during the pandemic, has ignited a firestorm of conversation about persistent ageism and sexism in the media. I actually wish I had MORE grey, so that I could go silver in solidarity! What was your reaction to this story? Have you embraced your grey?
