About Us

Hold On! Here’s the Thing is a lifestyle space where real talk meets real life with humor, heart, and a little bit of “can you believe this just happened?”

We’re two longtime friends in our 50s navigating the beautifully messy middle of life. Between parenting adult kids, learning to sleep through the night again (hello, menopause), figuring out where the heck we left our glasses, and embracing the lake days, garden wins, and spontaneous travel plans — we’re holding on and figuring it out right alongside you.

We believe midlife is not a crisis; it’s a shift. A shift into confidence, clarity, and letting go of the things that don’t matter. It’s about showing up as your whole self (even when your knees creak), finding joy in the small stuff, and laughing through the chaos.

Here you’ll find a mix of real-life stories, practical wisdom, and “why didn’t someone tell me this sooner?” content, from family and friendship to home projects, lake life, travel, and aging with a little grace and a lot of grit.

So, grab a coffee (or a glass of wine), kick off your shoes, and join the conversation.

We’re not experts, but we’ve got experience.

Hold on… here’s the thing:

Midlife is a vibe. And it’s yours for the making.
