"The 2nd Half Sisterhood"

What happens when midlife, empty nesting, and hormone chaos hit all at once? Holly Brewer opens up about the season that pushed her to launch 2nd Half Sisterhood, a space and community for women over 40 who want honesty, hope, and practical help-- without the noise.Holly is a longtime voice on Just Think the Podcast and the force behind 2nd Half Sisterhood which soft-launched into the social media space this spring but will officially launch this fall as a growing space for women navigating midlife, motherhood, and everything that comes after 40. Her perspective is equal parts practical, faith-filled, and fiercely honest--perfect for women in midlife, for moms and anyone who is craving a smarter, kinder conversation about shifting hormones, parenting roles, identity, relationships, etc. Holly wanted to provide a place where women could come as they are to find encouragement, inspiration, empowerment and the support they need to make the second half of their lives at least as enjoyable as the first. Because it can be! Join us as Holly, Kristen and Amy share their own perspectives about this season of life and how the 2nd Half Sisterhood is here for you--coming SOON!
