Before The Year Ends
A thank you and a question about what comes next
I want to say: Thank you for being here.
This year has been challenging. The policy changes coming out of Washington have made it especially difficult for women. Our bodies, our autonomy, and our futures are being debated like bargaining chips.
And, you’re still doing your work. Still navigating your own transitions, your own grief, your own becoming.
I started Life Branches because I believe women deserve support during the hardest transitions of their lives. Not surface-level advice or cheerleading, but actual research-backed help for the messy parts nobody talks about.
In the coming year, I’m committed to helping as many women as I can.
So I’m asking: What do you need most?
What should I be writing about? What question keeps you up at night? What midlife transition are you facing that you wish someone would address honestly?
Just leave a comment and tell me. One sentence is perfect.
Your answer will directly help me with what I create so that I can talk about what you actually need, not what I assume you need.
Thank you for trusting me with your time and your inbox. Thank you for being part of this community.
I’m honored to be here with you.
I’m building a space for women who are done performing. If this resonated with you, stick around. There’s more where this came from, and we’re just getting started.
At what age do we stop seeking approval from our parents and family.
I feel like I’m not living an authentic life because I’ve never really got to know my own needs.
So maybe some support regarding how to start to get to know oneself as a woman approaching 50 and not settled so far for traditional roles.
Why are women still not believed particularly when it comes to abuse? I'm 72 and am witnessing (like everyone else), the back sliding of women's rights over every aspect of our lives. I thought we were making progress but we're going backwards. It's disheartening for all the women younger than me. What can be done?
