Why subscribe?

I’m Donna. I’m middle aged, divorced and thriving…well, most days. Some days life is a chaotic shitshow. I’ll share the good, bad and in between as honestly as possible here. Midlife Rewrite is about navigating midlife—divorce, parenting adult children, empty nesting, and dating again. I’ll also share thoughts on books, pop culture, and all the twists and turns that come with this stage of life with humor, heart, and honesty. In the future we will have a monthly book club in the Chats and private Zoom meetups, too!
