About Me

Hey there, I’m Bex.

I started this website to help with my own journey through the rollercoaster ride that is middle age. It gets us all at some point, but just because we’ve hit the mid point of our lives doesn’t mean it’s a slippery slope there on out!

As a 44 year old woman who’s going through perimenopause and with a teenage son and daughter hitting puberty hard, let’s just say my house is pretty hormone heavy at the moment. I feel sorry for my husband and the dog to be honest. But with the help of HRT, exercise, reducing my alcohol and caffeine intake, and trying to eat a bit healthier (although chocolate…what is life without chocolate !?!) I’m managing to tread a smoother path through these middle years. And I wanted to share some stuff with other who might be struggling with similar.

MiddleAgerHood is all about embracing midlife. It’s about welcoming the changes, celebrating this new stage, and most of all it’s about flicking two fingers up to a culture that has us believe that once you’re over a certain age you’re past it.
