Fantastic feature on Amy Cuevas Schroeder! I recall Venus Zine from back in the day, and I'm really impressed by everything she is now doing with The Midst.

Amy’s inspiring in the best of ways, with a sensibility that I so admire. She’s inspired my life path as a writer (and I know I’m one of many). Love this showcasing Amy’s awesomeness!

“perfect midlife happiness includes being in my career prime, enjoying my family, and wearing comfy pants.” With an emphasis on comfy pants!!! Wonderful to learn more about Amy and her vision for a more empowered collective of midlife women.

“Life really does begin at 40. Up until then, you’re just doing research.” — Carl Jung

A BRILLIANT quote for women in midlife! It really does begin in our 40s, and I expect nothing less than life continuing to broaden into new and enriching areas. Compelling interview - loved reading it and excited to see what is next for The Midst!

Me too! I SO want to attend their conference this coming year! Last year, I couldn't even attend virtually because we were in the Midst (ha--see what I did there) of a massive wildfire, but this year--I am determined! :)

Amy is awesome, and a daily inspiration in so many ways! Everyone at Womancake loves The Midst and we're excited to see Amy grow and scale it to match her vision. PS When I was an independent musician back in the day, appearing in Venus was one of my goals :)

Agree 100%. We revel in all the midlife stories The Midst is making possible. However we can support them scaling, we are down for it! And you are SO Venus cover material! ❤️
