I Found Freedom in My Grey Hair

I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing my teeth, when I saw it.

A glint of silver, right near my temple. Not shiny like a sequin — no, more like an intruder sneaking out from underneath years of my box dyed raven locks.

Welcome to Midlife in Mabank!

Not long ago, I was out driving — just me, the road, and the wide-open East Texas sky — when it hit me:
Midlife isn’t a pause or a detour.
It’s the road itself. And around every curve, the view gets a little richer.

I’m Brandy. I’m 50. I’m a respiratory therapist, menopause coach, wife, mom, and Nana — all rolled into one real woman figuring it out as I go. I live in a small town with a big heart and even bigger stories to tell.

This space was born from those stories — the messy, beautiful, surprising ones that show up when the kids are grown, the mirror tells the truth, and the world starts asking, “Now what?”

At Midlife in Mabank, we don’t fight aging.
We honor it.
We laugh at the absurd stuff.
We talk about the hard things.
And we hold space for each other through every season — even the sweaty, hormonal, middle-of-the-night ones.

You’ll find honest reflections, wellness that makes sense, encouragement that doesn’t feel cheesy, and a community of women who know midlife isn’t about fading out — it’s about finally showing up.

So pour a cup, get comfortable, and stay awhile.
We’ve got plenty to talk about. 💙
