It's Time For Our Weekly Share Thread
Share a Note or a Post and Find Your People
It’s time once again for our Friday Share Thread!
This is a weekly opportunity for you to share your most recent Post or Note and to connect with other midlife writers on Substack in the comments of this post.
If this is your first time here joining in (and please make sure to share that too!), here’s how it works:
tell us a little about you and you and your Substack in a sentence or two
describe the Post or Note you’ll be sharing in another sentence or two
share a link to the Post or Note
then comment on, restack, like, or share at least a few other posts
make sure to subscribe or recommend other writers that you especially love
return throughout the week to read and connect more
Although it’s of course entirely up to you, this time I’d especially encourage you to share a recent Note that you’ve posted. Let’s see what happens when a bunch of us like, comment on, or restack a Note. We had an interesting conversation about Notes during a meeting yesterday for our two-week Substack Foundations cohort, which started on Tuesday, and it made me curious about whether the cumulative power of Midstackers could boost a Note in a big-ish way.
Happy Friday, Midstackers! xo Jessica
I am a lifelong chicken who’s recently grown some bravery wings. Sort of. I recently wrote about my forays into risk taking.
My publication, Distracted by Pretty Things, is about looking for the loveliness in life—always searching for the beauty amongst the brokenness and bullshit.

I run surf retreats in Jamaica for women in midlife. My latest post asks the question — How long have you been performing? Not on a stage. Not deliberately. Just the quiet, constant, load-bearing performance of being the version of yourself that everyone around you needs you to be. https://surfsoulretreats.substack.com/p/dear-diana-4-the-performance
