Well done!

Isn’t it wonderful when the groundswell of midlife women rises up and the patriarchy must resort to eating its own words? It doesn’t matter if they acknowledge it or not, (but oh, that could be sweet😎) what matters is that it’s happening despite obese orange faced baboons attempting to ruin our country.

Sounds like you’re finally in the book launch slipstream, congrats!! I pre-ordered 6 copies of Quickes. I’m going to hand them out to my girlfriends so they can benefit from Heather’s wisdom 👏

I don't know any of this back story. But still, I found this a fun read. Also, I am watching old not brilliant sit coms right now to get through a meh period in my life, and right now binging "Ugly Betty" which includes a fun subplot of a mid-life woman launching a magazine called Hot Flash. Regis and Kathy hate on it. Women love it. It's fun stuff and feels resonant to this post.

I forgot about that bit in Ugly Betty... and that Regis and Kathy hate on it is hilarious. Kathy IS a walking hot flash. You could wallpaper that woman in HRT patches and she'd STILL be sweating into her Chardonnay! 😂

Of course they came back—front tails between legs—asking for forgiveness and a piece of the pie. They’d be idiots not to. Love a good redemption story!

Amazing! Yes to finding new ways to tell stories. And these film/TV/[pick your cinematic new category] will be new regardless of AI because they are woman-focused.
