About

Hi, I’m Tara.

Mom of three grown kids. Bibi (Grandma) to three grandbabies. Full-time blogger. Empty nester.
And lately… someone figuring out who I am now that I’m no longer needed every minute of the day.

If you’re somewhere in that messy, beautiful in-between—you belong here.

What This Site Is About

This Midlife Thing is a soft place to land for women navigating change, identity shifts, and quiet reinventions in midlife.

You won’t find perfection here.
Just truth, warmth, and reminders that midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a crossroads.

Here, I share:

  • Honest stories from the middle
  • Mindset shifts and journaling prompts
  • Sunday reset rituals (without the hustle)
  • Reflections on relationships, routines, and rediscovery

Why I Created This Space

After years of being “on call” for everyone else, I realized I didn’t really know what I wanted anymore.
This space grew out of my own rediscovery—and it’s here to support yours.

Rediscovering joy, one tutu-wearing goat at a time. If you haven’t tried goat yoga, you should definitely try it!

Just One More Thing…

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re just becoming.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

Welcome to This Midlife Thing.
I’m so glad you’re here.
