Allow me to introduce myself.
I’m the creator of The Brilliant Age, a lifestyle and storytelling platform dedicated to women navigating midlife and beyond—those stepping into this chapter with experience, curiosity, style, and a desire to break a few rules.

 

My work is shaped by more than six decades of lived experience and a career rooted in professional storytelling. I began as a fashion journalist, built a long career in branding, marketing, and communications, raised two daughters as a single parent, and earned a master’s degree in creative writing at 50. These chapters inform everything I write—grounded, practical, and deeply human.

 

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: daughter, sister, student, waitress, wife, mother, journalist, DIYer, fundraiser (and occasional hell-raiser), traveler, and entrepreneur. The common thread is a belief that our lives, at every age, are rich with insight, resilience, and possibility.

 

The Brilliant Age explores reinvention, personal style, purpose, creativity, and the freedom that comes with knowing yourself well. This is a space for thoughtful reflection, honest conversation, and inspired living without clichés or apologies.

 

At its core, the promise is simple: Inspiration. Conversation. And Hell Yeah.
I’m glad you’re here.
