Meet Kim

the midlife modernista

Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I hope to be your go-to destination for navigating midlife with a focus on style and beauty, health, relationships, and savvy life hacks.  A place for us to spill the tea on a slew of topics that Gen Xers will relate to.  Whether it’s the oddly disconcerting swipe-right world of post-divorce dating, having to field repeated calls from mom asking you how to send an email, or pulling off an “age appropriate” look (F-that!) I’ve got you. Truth be told, I’m tired AF of the same old midlife crisis reinvention tropes. Inspired evolution, not reinvention, is the goal.  I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way.

But why me and why now? I spend my days as a corporate geek supporting global VPs in the digital therapeutics space because I thoroughly enjoy paying rent.  In a former life I was senior editor at a fancy pants fashion consultancy. I’ve rubbed elbows with A-listers as a lackey at the world’s most prestigious art museums.  As a published and exhibited photographer I’ve spent many late nights shooting rock stars where the gear to hearing protection ratio was wildly disproportionate.  I’m a fitness fanatic, foodie, nature girl, animal lover, manifester, and hopeful romantic. And though I know how utterly captivating this all sounds, the truth is most nights you’ll find me sipping herbal tea with a black cat named Henry “Bear” Rollins on my lap.

I’d love to connect with other midlifers who don’t feel represented by the stereotypical focus groups. Those who have the audacity to live unapologetically tits out into midlife and beyond. Because I’m totally here for it. I hope you are too.
