The writers behind this newsletter.
Mid-life thriver, pebble-finder, bon vivant. I write The Pebble in Your Shoe—turning irritations into insight (with humor). Retreat first dibs: https://forms.gle/FwMVip18MkS4vn6i8
Power is a trust—and I write about what happens when it’s betrayed, whether by a parent, a teacher, a system, or a president.
I used to weigh over 300 pounds and hated shopping. I lost half my size & now I’m rebuilding my wardrobe. Former Health magazine diet editor, Time Inc cookbook editor.
Kacie Gikonyo, RN | Death Doula | Writer | Disruptor of Death Denial I’m a former nurse turned full-time death doula, educator, and founder of Death Doula School. Come for the real talk. Stay for the education, humor, stories, and truth bombs.
You spent decades being everything to everyone else. Now it’s your turn. I help women over 60 rethink retirement, reclaim the dreams they put aside, and create lives they genuinely want to live.
