I'm just over here trying to take the “crisis” out of my own midlife.

I’m not an expert on aging, retirement, or why my left hip suddenly hurts, but I do find myself thinking about things I used to ignore, like when to stop working, where I actually want to live, and what I’d even do with myself if I did retire.

This channel is part diary, part experiment. I’m sharing what I’m learning, questioning, and trying out in real time. If you're also figuring out how to make this next chapter meaningful (and maybe a little softer), you’re in good company.
