Menopause. Empty nests. Aging parents. Burnout. Reinvention.
Screw the Script is the bold, funny, honest survival guide for Gen X women navigating midlife without losing their minds.​
Why Does Midlife Feel Like a Full-Blown Identity Crisis?
Because everything happens at once:
​
-
Hormones are changing
-
Your kids are leaving
-
Your parents need you
-
Your body feels unfamiliar
-
Work feels exhausting
-
The beauty industry tells you you’re failing
-
You’ve spent years taking care of everyone else
You are not broken.
The script is.
This Book Will Help You:
-
Stop feeling like you’re failing at midlife
-
Rebuild confidence and identity
-
Laugh at the absurdity of modern womanhood
-
Set better boundaries
-
Stop shrinking yourself
-
Navigate reinvention with honesty and humor
It's a bold, funny and honest survival guide for Gen X women trying to survive midlife without disappearing inside it.
"I can't remember the last time I read a book so funny and entertaining that I couldn't put it down."

I’m Not Here to Sell You Toxic Positivity

I created Screw the Script because women in midlife deserve honesty, humor, and tools that actually help.

WHICH SCRIPT IS RUNNING YOUR LIFE?
The scripts you didn't choose are still running you. Find out which ones. The Midlife Bullshit Detector is a free self-diagnostic. Five scripts. Honest answers. It names the patterns you've been running on autopilot — pleasing, proving, over-giving, aging-quietly, not-making-a-fuss. Take it. Then a 7-Day Script Disruptor Challenge lands in your inbox. One short email a day. No journaling prompts. No affirmations. Just actions that interrupt the pattern.
