Real Girls Guide to Midlife: Hot Takes, True Stories, and Fearless Advice from Women Who've Lived It & Experts Who Get It (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959009337)

Midlife isn't a crisis. It's a reckoning!

The kind where you look around and think, Wait... whose life have I been starring in and who wrote this script?

If you've ever found yourself:

- Mentally rage-quitting a conversation while smiling politely.

- Googling "Is this perimenopause or am I just done tolerating bullsh*t?"

- Rewatching the same TV shows because your nervous system said "No new stimuli today!"

- Wondering when exactly you disappeared inside your own life...

Then welcome, you're in the exact right place.

The REAL GIRLS GUIDE to MIDLIFE is not a gentle, soothing, "appreciate your blessings" self-help book.It's a bold, raw, hilarious, deeply honest companion for the woman who is d-o-n-e, done.:

- Done shrinking to keep the peace.

- Done apologizing for wanting more.

- Done pretending the chaos isn't real.

- Done disappearing in her own damn story.

Inside, you'll find:

- Personal essays that name the mess (the real mess, not the curated kind).

- Expert insights that translate your WTF moments into clarity.

- Real-girl stories from women in the thick of it - the ones who didn't wait until their lives were "tidy" to tell the truth.

- Reframes + reflection prompts to help you take yourself back (no crystals or color-coded journaling system required).

This book will not tell you to age "gracefully," but it will tell you to age truthfully-with humor, boundaries, desire, and your full damn voice.

You'll learn how to:

- Stop abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable.

- Redraw your boundaries without writing a TED Talk explanation for them.

- Make peace with the body you live in now.

- Want more without guilt (yes, you're allowed).

- And own the authority of your lived experience.

Because midlife is not the end of your story-it's the first time you're writing it for yourself.

If you've been waiting for permission, a sign, a push, or a cosmic nudge...

This book is it. No more waiting. No more shrinking. No more silence. Let's go.
