The first 30 days after divorce don’t usually look like what people expect. It’s not always dramatic. It’s not always tears on the floor. Often, it’s quieter than that — and somehow heavier. It’s waking up and realizing the future you assumed would unfold a certain way… didn’t. It’s learning…

● About Me
Hi, I’m Carol — and Living in the Middle is my love letter to the freedom, joy, and second chances that come when the nest gets quiet and the noise of who we were starts to fade.
At 42, I found myself standing in the middle of a life I didn’t recognize. After 16 years of marriage, I walked away from the only version of “forever” I’d ever known. I was the first in my family to get divorced — no guide, no support group, and no roadmap to healing.
I didn’t just feel broken. I felt invisible. Numb. Lost. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t rest. I was surviving — not living. I didn’t know where to begin.
But eventually, one small step at a time… I did begin.
I slowly started putting the pieces of myself back together — and somewhere along the way, I started liking the woman I was becoming. I began chasing a life that felt like mine again.
Now, more than a decade later, I’ve built a life I love — and I’m still growing. Still dreaming. Still healing. Still learning to thrive in this beautiful “middle” season of life.
This space is for every woman who’s ever asked, “Now what?”
If you’re navigating a new chapter — after divorce, after raising children, after heartbreak, after loss — you’re not alone. You are not starting over. You’re just starting next.
Let’s do it together.
Welcome to the middle. 💛
