I’m sharing these thoughts anonymously because I’d like the focus to be on the ideas rather than the person presenting them.
My interests span a broad range of topics — social, entrepreneurial, and intergenerational — but they are all connected by a common theme: community and caring for one another.
Hi, this is my first time sharing here, my space is dedicated to flower essence remedies and how they can help us through life’s passage bringing us back to our true selves gently. 🤍 https://thealmaflor.substack.com/p/is-this-love
I'm a 58 year old women who has bloomed over the last years and looking forward to many more years of meeting new people, exchanging ideas and learning more everyday!
I'm a mid-life woman who is 15 months into a PhD on re-engagement in orgnaised group based physical activity in mid-life. My initial focus was on pickleball as I became addicted. My focus has now turned to mid-life women's health research (or lack of it) including social connection, social identity and physical literacy. I set up my Substack when I commenced my PhD, but unfortunately it's currently a blank account with a handful of followers. I initially wanted to call it PhD@53 - if this is my title, what would people in this group like to hear about? I seriously have so much to say.
Hi everyone! I am Thais, a gender equality expert writing a book on why women stop pursuing hobbies and what gets in the way. On my Substack, The Hobby Gap, I share research, data, and stories about why women lose their hobbies, why they matter, and how we can reclaim them. I am sharing my post explaining the hobby gap, but I have also published about the "hobby renaissance" and what a hobby is (and who gets to decide).
The Hobby Gap is for women who used to have a hobby that quietly got away, who feel vaguely guilty about not having one, or who suspect that what looks like a personal time management problem is actually something bigger.
I’m a very new Substack writer—started in February 2026—and three and a half months in, I’m genuinely excited to have found this community and am really looking forward to the learning and connection here. Through my writing, I explore how the sparks of autistic and hyperlexic learners’ potential grow when we start from their strengths and honour their way of being.
My latest post looks at five “hidden” comprehension vulnerabilities in autistic readers, especially those hyperlexic teens who look strong on the surface but are quietly struggling with meaning. It’s written for educators, clinicians, psychologists, and parents who want to see beyond the test score and really understand where comprehension is breaking down.
I'm a writer, mom & yoga teacher making my way (messily) through midlife. I'm new to Substack (I think I already love it here?!) and here's the first post in my publication, Midlife Sentences, which is an ongoing, monthly reflection on living creatively and with purpose in midlife: https://substack.com/home/post/p-197694292
Hi everyone! Love this thread and the intent :) I can't wait to know more about everyone here.
I am Gigi. My first book came out one year back. Writing another one... former CEO. Started writing on Substack a few weeks back, about life's other currencies beyond the dollar, the social scripts I am questioning, and the work of coming back to myself. For anyone running real things and asking the same.
I have just started writing and sharing on substack, using the lens of my major upheavals of the past few years and plan for a major life change - moving to the sixth country I will live in but this time alone - to talk about things
But it is not all ‘big issues’. My second posts was about owning a few fountain pens.
So happy to have found this group and I look forward to reading your notes and finding new people to subscribe to!
I celebrated my 60th birthday a few weeks ago and wrote a little something about my marvelous, messy, midlife and sixty things I've learned and leaned into along the way 🎉
I’m in that fun sandwich of launching children and caring for aging parents. With all of my free time I launched a Substack called Dirt and Memories. My hope is to help people find joy in the small things. Like really small things - a Roly poly, a single bloom, a Hersheys Kiss. This is my latest essay: https://substack.com/@nicolecrowe2?r=zawjd&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=blur
Hi Nicole, ha! With my free time I launched Carer Mentor (first version back in 2020 - just after my Dad passed, and Mum was having cancer treatment, and probate...)
So, I clicked through and I've read a few of your pieces. I love how you describe the farm - when I read "Dirt" images of Tara and "Gone with the Wind" came to mind... ;-)
I've subscribed because your pieces calm my brain, and bring me closer to nature, whilst I'm caregiving. xo
Hi, I’m Séverine 💃 I write about the thing under the thing: emotional patterns, body messages, hidden contracts, midlife reclamation, and the weirdly sacred moment when we stop calling our truth "too much" just because someone else didn’t enjoy the premise.
I’m sharing "What Comes After Being Believed?" a piece about that very midlife moment after the big emotional excavation. After we’ve named the hurts, spotted the patterns, reclaimed the narrative, yelled about the inequity, and finally stopped gaslighting ourselves for sport.
Because being believed matters. Deeply. But it’s not the whole destination. At some point, the question becomes: okay, now that I know it was real.. what do I want to do with the rest of my life?
My stack, called Far From the Tree, publishes personal essays that seek to derive insight from lived experiences in an effort to fuel the never ending journey towards love after our parents messed us up.
In other words, I'm working on becoming the emotionally mature old broad Jung talked about.

Fairly new to Substack. So just reading and learning loads. Hoping to compose my first post soon

Like any creative soul, despite any of my achievements, I'm crippled with insecurity!
