My Perimenopause Journey + More - The Midlife GlowGetter Newsletter with Jax

Saturday September 19, 2026 Hello My Friend, So, I'm 49, and over the last year, I've noticed real changes in my body I can't ignore anymore. My mom didn't go through menopause until she was 55, so I assumed I had time before dealing with any of this. Turns out, that's not how it works, every woman's timeline is her own, and perimenopause, the transition leading up to menopause, usually can start well before 55. Here's what I've personally been experiencing: trouble staying asleep and waking...

My Midlife Lock-In - The Midlife GlowGetter Newsletter with Jax

Sept. 16, 2026 Hello My Friend, My Midlife Lock-In: Making the Rest of 2026 My Best Chapter Yet You've probably seen it all over social media lately. Gen Z is doing what they're calling a "lock-in." They look at how much of the year is left, and they lock in. New habits. New focus. No more excuses for the rest of the year. When I saw this trend, my first thought was: why should Gen Z have all the fun? Us midlife women, us women over 40, we can lock in too. Honestly, I'd argue we need it more...

Don't get comfortable (here's why), Your July Glow Up list is here 🌞-The Midlife GlowGetter Newsletter with Jax

Sunday July 12, 2026 Hello 💛 Hey GlowGetter, Here's a sentence that's been living in my head for weeks: comfort is the enemy dressed as peace. Read that again. Comfort feels good. It feels safe. But comfortable is not the same as alive. Four years ago, I sat at my desk after getting laid off from my underwriting job. I weighed 431 pounds. I was in debt. I was tired in a way sleep couldn't fix. I had been comfortable with all of it. Not happy. Just used to it. That day, something clicked. I...
