I’m Val, and I’m the primary voice behind this awesome site. Welcome to The Other Side of Midlife, where we explore the exciting, unexpected, and sometimes messy realities of life after the “middle.” Forget the stereotypes – this is a space to celebrate the adventures, challenges, and growth that come with this stage.
Like you, I’m navigating the uncharted territory of midlife. Midlife is NOT a crisis. It’s a time when we reinvent ourselves and start doing many or sometimes all of the things we’ve always wanted to do. Midlife isn’t about the end; it’s about the beginning of a new chapter – a chapter filled with rediscovering passions, pursuing dreams, and embracing all that life has to offer.
