Traveling this stage of life is easier when you know you’re not the only one walking it.
I’m in midlife myself, and while my main focus here is on three big topics — digital clutter, money, and legacy storytelling — I know there’s always more to learn. I’m constantly on the hunt for fresh perspectives and voices that make me think, laugh, or feel less alone.
That’s why I created the Wiser Way.
This is a growing collection of midlife and elder women who share openly — about their challenges, their victories, and the everyday moments in between. These are women worth following: storytellers, mentors, creators, and community builders who make the road ahead feel a little clearer and a lot less lonely.
How This Works
⇒ I find and share women’s voices that stand out in midlife and beyond.
⇒ You can suggest creators using the form below.
⇒ I update the list over time, so it keeps growing with new and active voices.

Why Midlife & Elder Voices Matter
It helps to hear from women walking the same stage of life.
When you follow voices in midlife and beyond, you get reminders that your story still counts — and that you’re not the only one figuring things out.
This isn’t about adding more noise online. It’s about finding encouragement, ideas, and proof that life in this chapter can be full of meaning.
If you’d like to explore your own story, start with my free Pen Your Past prompts — a simple way to begin putting your chapters into words.
The Wiser Way Standards
This directory isn’t about having the most names — it’s about finding the ones that really matter.
I look for women who:
⇒ Speak to or from the midlife stage (40+)
⇒ Share with honesty, kindness, and wisdom
⇒ Keep their content fresh and active
⇒ Give real value — whether that’s inspiration, laughter, or helpful ideas
⇒ Fit the supportive, no-judgment spirit of Project: Improve Me
I can’t add everyone. That doesn’t mean someone isn’t great — it just means I’m keeping the Wiser Way small, useful, and filled with voices that feel real to me.
✨ Want more midlife resources?
Join the Project: Improve Me circle and get access to the Freebie Vault + updates when new voices are added.
Know Someone Who Belongs Here?
I’m always gathering new voices for Wiser Way. If you know a midlife or elder woman whose words, videos, or posts deserve to be shared, let me know.
It might be you, a friend, or someone you follow online — if they inspire, teach, or make you feel less alone, they belong here.
By submitting, you’ll also join the Project: Improve Me email circle so you can see when new women are added — and get invites to future Wiser Way virtual gatherings.
I can’t feature everyone, but every woman has wisdom to share — thanks for helping me keep the Wiser Way real.
Coming Soon – Wiser Way Gatherings
In the future, I’ll be planning and hosting friendly virtual meetups for women 40+ to connect, share, and learn from each other — right from your living room. Stay tuned for more details!
