friends.
We're bringing those conversations into one room.

ABOUT THE MIDICON
Midlife isn't one thing.
And neither are we.
Midlife can be a lot.
Our bodies are changing. Our parents are getting older. Kids are
leaving. Careers are shifting. Relationships change. Money
starts looking different. Some of us are starting over. Some of
us are finally figuring out what we want.
And somehow we're supposed to deal with all of it while carrying
on like everything is fine.
That's why we created The Midicon.
A place to have some of the conversations women are already
having with their friends, partners, doctors, sisters and
sometimes just themselves.
No pretending we have it all figured out. We don't.
WHY ATTEND
One day that meets you where you are.
Come spend the day with women who are figuring out midlife too. We'll talk with people who know their stuff, ask questions we actually want answered and make room for the conversations that don't happen often enough.
REAL CONVERSATIONS
Less presentation. More honest conversation about what's actually happening in our lives.
USEFUL INFORMATION
Experts who can help make sense of the things we're trying to understand and the choices we're making.
GOOD QUESTIONS
The ones you've been meaning to ask your doctor, your financial advisor, your partner or yourself.
GOOD COMPANY
Women in different parts of midlife, with different experiences, figuring some of the same things out.
WHY NOW
Midlife women are a big deal.
The numbers back it up.
$15T
In purchasing power held by women over 50.
8.8%

$1T
Potential annual boost to the global economy by 2040 from closing the women's health gap.
THE CONVERSATIONS
So, what are we talking about?
MONEY
Because earning it, saving it, spending it and figuring out whether we'll have enough looks different at this age.
BODY + MIND
Menopause. Sleep. Weight. Brain fog. Mood. Muscle. ADHD. The physical and mental changes that can make you wonder, what is happening to me? And what we can actually do about them.
WHEN THEY'RE GONE
Grief, caregiving, empty nests and what happens when the people we've spent years caring for aren't there in the same way anymore.
RELATIONSHIPS + MENOPAUSE
What happens to relationships when our bodies, needs and patience start changing? And what do the people we love actually understand about what we're going through?
WHAT'S NEXT
Career. Ambition. Identity. Starting over. Or just finally deciding you want something different.
