We believe in radical honesty,
awkward confessions,
and laughing through the mess.
Hot flashes, brain fog, weird joint pain and bloodwork that makes zero sense—midlife health is not for the faint of heart. Whether you’re waking up drenched in sweat at 2 a.m. or wondering why your metabolism ghosted you, this space is for the real stuff: hormones, anxiety, sleep, weight, supplements and the long game of staying well while juggling everything else. Expect expert Q&As, personal stories, symptom checklists and just enough humor to keep you sane. You’re not losing it you’re just living through the wild, wonderful biology of midlife.
We’re calling in a new kind of self-care—the kind that starts with boundaries, breathwork, therapy and rest (not rose quartz and hashtags). Midlife brings mental overload, emotional shifts and some serious self-reflection. This is your place to slow down, tune in and take care of your mind like it actually matters. Expect unfiltered stories, practical tools and the kind of honesty that makes you exhale. You’re not alone—and you’re not overreacting.
You’ve lived a lot of life—and you still want love that feels like something. Whether you’re rediscovering passion in a long-term relationship, navigating the quiet after divorce or figuring out how to date again without losing your mind, this space is for you. Because love in midlife isn’t one thing—it’s everything: comforting and complicated, sexy and awkward, steady and surprising. Maybe your marriage is stronger than ever. Maybe you’re grieving the loss of what it was. Maybe you’re falling for someone new—or falling back in love with yourself. This is love without the performance. Just real stories, real desire and real connection—whatever that looks like for you right now.
Adult friendships are weird. Ghosting is real. And building community when you’re over 40 can feel like you are back in middle school. In this category, we explore the mess and magic of connection: navigating friend breakups, rethinking your social circle, healing old wounds and leaning into the relationships that matter. Because chosen family counts—and showing up for each other counts even more.
You’re still parenting—but now it’s big decisions, not bedtime stories. You’re still a daughter —but now you’re managing doctor appointments instead of homework. Midlife means being in the middle: raising kids, caring for parents and navigating a home full of shifting roles and emotional landmines. This space
is for the ones holding it all together (or trying to), with stories, support and the reminder that you’re not
alone in the in-between.
You’re not too old to pivot. You’re just getting interesting. This category is for the bold, the burned out and the ready-for-what’s-next crowd. From leaving toxic jobs to launching passion projects, these stories prove midlife is prime time for reinvention. We spotlight career changes, identity shifts, and that quiet voice inside that says, “What if I did this my way?”
Midlife isn’t just one thing—it’s all the things. The chaos, the culture, the identity shifts, the emotional spirals over a group text. Life is our home for humor, nostalgic rants, book recs, culture, and all the things that defy categories. We’re not trying to be profound, just honest (and maybe funny enough to snort-laugh over coffee). You’ll see yourself in these stories and maybe even give yourself a little more credit. It’s not polished. It’s not predictable. And that’s exactly what makes it real.
Our community is the center of She’s Got Issues—a space for Gen X women to share, vent, celebrate and support one another. Midlife here isn’t quiet or beige—it’s bold, honest, and deeply connected. From comment-section therapy to unexpected friendship, this is where your stories belong. We celebrate your wins, your pivots, your power. Submit a piece, shout someone out, or just show up and feel seen—you’re part of this.
