Midlife Private Parts is a soulful and revealing collection of essays that explore the many facets of this transformative time in life. Each story sheds light, with humanity and good humor, on what it really feels like to move through the world as a midlife woman and beyond.

Whether it's sexual pleasure, midlife reinvention, menopause, friendship, redefining style at a certain age, dating after divorce, feeling invisible, or simply being in the last place you ever thought you'd be, you'll feel seen in these essays that acknowledge the changes and challenges but capture the power, freedom, and confidence that comes with age.

Told through the eyes of contemporary women writers, authors, and creatives, each shares a story of coming to terms with aging and confronting the unexpected moments that define midlife. In their candid personal narratives, you will find connection, validation, promise, and inspiration.

If you are craving community, Midlife Private Parts will be akin to a safe haven where you will feel seen, heard, and understood. A place where women are empowered to age boldly and unapologetically.
