Meet Your Hot Mess Host 🖤
Welcome to my little corner of chaos, where midlife meets sarcasm, an “I don’t give AF” attitude, and surviving divorce comes with anxiety, post-divorce shenanigans, personal growth, and a whole lot of psychotic laughter.
I’m a divorced single mama who had to figure out who I was without being a wife, a full-time mom, or the person I had been for decades. And let me tell you – that was uncharted territory.
💔 Got divorced → 😵💫 Had an identity crisis → 🍷 Made questionable choices → 💃 Went out too much → 🤦♀️ Regretted some of it → 😂 Laughed at all of it → ✍️ (Eventually) Started writing about it.
I’ve always loved writing – I just never had the time or knew what to write about. Turns out, when you survive a divorce, rebuild your life from scratch, and deal with the beautiful chaos inside a woman’s brain, you end up with a lot of material. Naturally, I started writing about it.
Midlife Misadventures and New Beginnings
At first, it wasn’t pretty. I was a walking panic attack, stumbling my way through social invites with people I barely knew, trying to navigate life without calling my husband – who, surprise, was no longer my husband.
I made some questionable choices… but I also made some amazing ones – like saying yes to new experiences, going on a wine cruise with new friends, surrounding myself with people who made me laugh, and realizing I wasn’t lost – I was just finding a new version of me.
And then there was dating.
I tried dating apps – and quickly realized it was all the same BS, so I chucked that idea.
With no one to answer to, I dove into crazy nights out and new adventures. I met a younger crowd and tried to keep up (bad idea, but impressive effort 💅🏻).
I always started strong but usually pulled a disappearing act by the end of the night – because deep down, I wasn’t ready. I got into some sketchy situations, but don’t worry – I was fully aware of the dangers and always prepared.
Why I Started This Blog
Through it all, I discovered something:
I love writing, storytelling, and sharing my experiences in a way that makes people laugh, think, and realize that no matter how messy life gets, we can always find our way through it.
So, I started this blog – because my brain is all over the place, and thankfully, now I have a place where chaos is welcome.
