I’m Mimi, your new pro-aging friend!

Originally a Northern Cali girl, (go Warriors, and A’s), I’ve been living in LA for over 2 decades.

In my mid-50s I was trying to figure out how to do this getting older thing when your body gets as stiff as your fave hardcover book, parents get sick and die, and ageism magnifies all the so-called horrors of this natural part of life.

I had let my health flounder, was feeling adrift about my future, and anxious about my time left on earth. Can you relate?

As I was searching for help with aging, the messaging I found was either unrealistic:

“50 is the new 30!”
“Age is just a number!”

Or made me feel like I was as defective as a Scrabble set with no As:

“How to Let Your Hair Go Gray Without Losing Your Mind”
“Anti-aging…Age-defying…Ageless”

(BTW, if you’re not aging, you’re dead. 😂)

So I started Hey Middle Age, to explore comfy and uncomfy midlife stuff, and along the way added a mission to upend ageist stereotypes that harm everyone.

After all, you’re either old or future old.

I’m a chatty introvert, a world-class procrastinator working to release lifelong perfectionism, and a fitness junkie (you’ll find me movin’ on Instagram every day). Science-based is my jam, but I don’t mind a sprinkle of woo woo.

We control choices, but not life. But that’s what it means to be human, and I want that to be enough. I’m so happy you’re here.

Cue music. Let’s dance.
