She'd never done anything like this before


I want to share something with you today, Reader. 💛

This is from a woman who attended a BEST LIFE Retreat in Sun Valley. She came not knowing exactly what to expect. She left with something she hadn't anticipated.

I'll let her tell you:


"Attending Laurie's BEST LIFE Retreat in Sun Valley was truly life-changing. I had never done anything like it before, and it exceeded every expectation. The experience gave me the opportunity to pause, reflect, and really think intentionally about how I want to live the rest of my life.
I also met an incredible group of women whose stories, perspectives, and support made the experience even more meaningful. I have remained in contact with several of the women months after the retreat. Laurie creates a space that is thoughtful, inspiring, and deeply authentic."

The part that stays with me: she had never done anything like it before.

And I get it. That describes most of the women who come. They haven't done something like this before. They've been to conferences. They've hired coaches. They've read the books and listened to the podcasts and done the work...in the margins of their real lives, in whatever time is left over after everyone else's priorities.

This is different. This is four days in an extraordinary location, with women who are asking the same questions you are, in a container designed to let you actually answer them.

If you've been wondering whether it's worth taking the time away, she just told you.

She'd never done anything like this before, and it changed her life in ways she never expected. Now it's your turn.

Hey there, Reader! Surprised to see me on a Monday? I'll bet! It's by design. Let me explain. I want you to treat your life as the most important thing you do -- the same way you treat your kids, your family, your career. You wouldn't shoe-horn time in for them over the weekend; right? You also wouldn't relegate them to Sunday morning, in between everything else. Which is why the BEST LIFE List is no longer dropping on Sundays. A little backstory: when I started the Sunday newsletter,...

Hey there, Reader! Have you listened to today's new episode of The School of Midlife? I recorded this one with Brooke Amidei, founder of Babble, a free weekly newsletter that's basically the group chat every midlife woman wishes she had. I loved this conversation! About forty minutes in, we ended up somewhere I did not expect. We started talking about basic doctor stuff -- bone density scans, mammograms, that list -- and I told her about my own recent breast MRI. High risk, dense breasts, the...

Hey there, Reader! Honest question for you on this Tuesday: did you choose your life? Think about it. The job you took. The city you live in. The path you went down right out of school. The partner you chose. The priorities that have organized your days for the last two or three decades. Did you choose those things? Or did you do what was expected of you? I recorded this week's episode of the School of Midlife on a whim. I was out on a hike, and this idea arrived that I had never quite heard...
