Our Weekly Share Thread: July 31
Tell us what you wrote this week and Midstory's call for submissions
Announcement: Do you have a story you’d like to share with a midlife audience? Our sister publication Midstory Magazine has a new call for submissions. Learn about this month’s theme and writing guidelines HERE.
It’s that time again!
Every Friday Midstack hosts a share thread: midlife writers post their latest essays and articles in the comments of a post.
If you’re new here (welcome!), here’s how the Midstack Friday share thread works:
In the comments of this post, briefly introduce yourself and your Substack (in just a sentence or two)
Tell us about (again briefly) what you’re sharing this week
Drop the link to your post
Take a few minutes to comment on, restack, or share other people’s work
If another Midstacker’s writing pulls you in, subscribe. Let’s help us grow together!
Come back throughout the weekend and into next week.
If an essay connects with you, share this in the comments of the piece itself, not just here in the comments. And if you’ve already engaged with someone’s work outside this thread, please like here too, so they know.
Later today (Friday) I am hosting our monthly Midstack meetup at 1 p.m. Eastern. Learn more HERE and get a link to join us to talk about all things Substack.
Hi, Midstack! I’m Carrie, and I write Wander with Intention. It’s about using travel—big and small—as a vehicle for growth, joy, and (re)discovery of who you are! This week, I posted about a side quest I took when I was traveling for work. It was really fun—I hope you all enjoy it!

I write The Produced Life — about the mostly invisible practices that go into living well on purpose. New this week — the story of finally meeting Barry Manilow after decades of adoring him from afar, and how thoroughly I lost the ability to form a coherent sentence the second I got the chance. But I have zero regrets!
