A July Roundup Post
You are invited to participate in our July Roundup Post. The topic is Midlife Reinvention.
Here’s how it works:
Before July 14th, submit a new post (or one that has been published on your Substack during the last 3 months) relating to the theme of reinvention —» Submit the post HERE.
On July 16th, I’ll publish a post here on Midstack with a roundup of all of the posts written by all of you, including a little bit about each publication, author bios, subscribe links.
We’ll share and restack the main post, as well as each other’s.
Are you a “late bloomer”?
Do you think of yourself as a late bloomer, a person who discovered talents, interests, or ambitions in any domain later in life, in midlife and beyond?
I’d like to hear from you for a future writing project.
Take this short survey HERE.

Hi all, Hope everyone had a great week. This week's post was the bravest one I've ever written and published. It's about stepping away from the toxic relationship I have with my almost 87 year old mother. This is the culmination of years of trying to heal a very dysfunctional mother/daughter situation. It doesn't work if only one person is doing the work. Thanks for this opportunity to share here. https://nantepper.com/p/youre-not-my-mother
I wrote an entirely unnecessary midyear holiday card chronicling the "heroic" moments (by which I mean small disasters and small triumphs) of the last six months of my life alongside the general decline of civilization. It's a humor piece.
