Welcome to The House of Middlescence—your unofficial HQ for bold living, solo life, second acts, and all the WTFs that come with aging out loud.
This isn’t a quiet chapter. It’s a glow-up.
I’m Barbara Brooks—founder of SecondActWomen, solo-ager, unapologetic champion of middlescent women (and the allies who get it), and your host here inside the content house for grown women rewriting what midlife really looks like.
Each week, we’re serving up real talk about career pivots, starting over, dating solo, building something new, personal branding, aging in the workplace, and everything else they don’t tell you about life after 40.
Expect unfiltered stories, expert convos, behind-the-scenes of running my second act, and a whole lot of “wait, what just happened?” moments—because that’s life, and we’re living it boldly.
Whether you’re shifting careers, growing your own thing, or simply tired of being underestimated, this space is for you.
Because age isn’t a decline—it’s your damn rise.

Ozempic, Mounjara and Menopause. Winning the Weightloss War
Menopause—what's the deal? Why don't we talk about it enough, and why don't our doctors tell us what we need to know? After all, there are over 80 symptoms of menopause, yet we mostly hear about hot flashes but who knew brain fog, sleepless nights and weigh gain were some of them?
Board-certified adult nurse practitioner, Kimberly Cunningham with the Cunningham Clinic schools us on hormone imbalances, estrogen, testerone and others that play a big part in the health of our bodies as we move through peri, menpause and post. Who knew menopause is actually a very short period of time in our lives, literally. Yep. There's more to it that we're in the dark about. Until now.
Hear how Mounjara has helped me and others fight the weight-gain. I've lost 17lbs in 2.5 months. BUT. There's more to taking these medical weightloss prescriptions.
Cunningham Clinic is in Denver, Colorado. cunninghamclinicstore.com
