Join our monthly Midstack Zoom meetup and our Friday share thread

Share your latest essay and meet other midlife Substack writers at our monthly meetup

Come join us on Tuesday, June 30th at noon Eastern. Register here.

Each month I host a free Zoom gathering for all of us, midlife women writing on Substack, whether you’ve been here since the start of Midstack or just joined yesterday. This month’s meetup is on Tuesday, June 30th at 12 p.m. Eastern.

It’s become one of my favorite parts of Midstack: a chance to actually see each other’s faces, hear each other’s voices, and remember we’re not alone in this.

We talk about:

• Your Substack goals, challenges, and wins

• Questions you’re wrestling with (tech stuff, strategy stuff, creative stuff — all of it)

• Ways we might collaborate or support each other

• Whatever’s on your mind

If we have a big group, I’ll split us into breakout rooms so everyone gets a chance to talk and connect. Some of the best conversations happen in these monthly conversations.

Can’t make it? No problem. Register anyway and I’ll send you the recording plus a transcript of the chat. That’s where so much of the good stuff happens.

I hope to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones.

And of course it’s Friday!

💬 It’s that time of the week for you to share a recent essay or note in the comments.

Here’s how it works:

• Introduce yourself and your Substack in a sentence or two.

• Tell us about what you’re sharing this week and why.

• Share the link to the post or note.

• Then engage with at least a few other people’s work by commenting on the post, restacking, liking, or sharing. Subscribe to writers whose work resonates with you.

• And, most of all, be sure to return to this thread throughout the weekend and next week to keep the conversation going.

Keep in mind: If an essay or article touches you, think about commenting directly in the comments of the article itself, not just here in the thread.

If you have interacted with an article or note outside of this post, please show that by liking it in the share thread.
