Stacy and Mimi are two writers in their midlife who realized that there is a need for an online publication that caters to women who are not in their twenties, but yet not old enough to let their hair go grey and start wearing sweatpants. Women in their forties and fifties whose lives are vibrant, who may be starting over with a new career, new relationship, empty nest or even new friendships need to be heard. Living the Second Act is a platform for these voices.

Living the Second Act is a hipper version of all of those women in midlife publications. We are edgier with our fashion and beauty, with our dating columns. However, we still understand that late forties to middle fifties is a time of changes we may not be prepared for and we will take the journey with you to discover what these changes are.

Maybe it is divorce and dating, changing a beauty routine, cleaning out a house and moving, or being alone after the kids leave the house. Perhaps you want to read about what to wear to a job interview or what foods are healthiest for midlife, we will have it all.

When we decided to partner together – two strangers who met through writing – we wanted to bring something fresh to the clutter of online publications and tell women that living a second act can be an adventure.  We hope you will join us on our journey.

In fact, Stacy began her career with The Widow Wears Pink, which was her way of expressing grief and helping other widows after her husband died at a young age. When we partnered, we felt that we wanted to showcase other women’s voices who are going through this midlife phase and not wanting it to be all about grey hair and lack of sex drive. With a magazine we have a platform for everyone to share thoughts and opinions that are important to many.

Thank you for publishing it.” And we also hope that more people than our family and immediate friends subscribe to Living The Second Act.
