Pull up a chair and stay a while—this is where the real conversations happen. Growing up, our kitchen table was the heart of everything: homework help, heart-to-hearts, and endless stories shared over countless meals. Now, here at Life's Kitchen Table, I'm continuing that tradition, serving up stories straight from the heart of midlife, seasoned with a healthy dose of humor and a pinch of hard-earned wisdom.

From navigating hot flashes to hot topics, from empty nests to full plates, these are the tales that simmer in the spaces between our busy days. Pour yourself a cup of coffee (or wine—no judgment here), and let's chat about the beautiful, messy, perfectly imperfect journey of being fifty and seasoned.
