A Note from Jennifer

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re in a season of change too.

I’m Jennifer Kittredge — writer, former therapist, and lifelong seeker of meaning.
For many years, my work revolved around women’s healing — helping others find peace after abortion, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their power. That work will always be part of me. It shaped who I am and how I see the world.

But lately, something quieter has been calling.
Something slower.
Something more honest.

Midlife has a way of unraveling the parts of us we once thought were permanent. The identities, careers, and roles that once defined us begin to shift. What used to feel solid starts to feel uncertain. And in that uncertainty, there’s an invitation, to listen, to pause, to begin again.

This space is where I’m answering that invitation.

I’m writing my way through perimenopause, reinvention, loss, and the tender process of rediscovering myself. I’m learning to honor my body’s rhythms, to rest when I need to, to grieve what’s gone, and to trust what’s taking shape.

I don’t have all the answers, and that’s the point.
I’m learning that wisdom often lives in the questions, in the curiosity, the surrender, the willingness to be changed.

Here, you’ll find essays and reflections about midlife, identity, womanhood, grief, and healing — written from the middle, not the mountaintop. My hope is that something you read here helps you exhale, remember yourself, and know you’re not alone in your becoming.

Because maybe midlife isn’t a crisis at all.
Maybe it’s a homecoming.

A few things I’m currently exploring:

• How to live more slowly and intentionally

• The emotional and spiritual side of perimenopause

• What it means to redefine purpose in midlife

• Grieving who I was while opening to who I’m becoming

• Creating beauty and meaning in ordinary days
