About LIVING IN MID-BLOOM

In a world where women of a certain age are often overlooked, I’m on a mission to flip the narrative and redefine what it means to be middle-aged. Are you wanting a life you’re not living? Do you want to connect with like minded women who are curious about what the future holds? With humor and compassion join April Pruitt; sexual abuse survivor, writer, cat mom, and science nerd, as she dives into honest conversations about her own mental health journey along with a variety of guests whose own stories can help cultivate a community of support and understanding that we’re not alone in this. Get ready to bloom!
