The Shiny Bi***es Club has entered the chat 🪩
This is your 3.5-day permission slip to stop toning it down and start turning it all the way up!

Because most of us were taught to be:
easy, helpful, likable, not “too much”
And now?
We’re tired.
SPARK is where we unlearn that bulls**t
and remember who the hell we are.

WHAT WE’RE DOING:
✨ Learn how happiness actually works (real science, no fluff)
✨ Drop the roles, rules, and beliefs you never chose
✨ Finally know what’s yours to carry… and what’s not
AND ALSO…
💄 Drag bingo
🎤 Game shows + ridiculous prizes
🎳 Crazy wig bowling + karaoke
🎨 Rage painting party
👑 Disco crown making + sing-alongs
🐐 Baby goat cuddles
✨ Glitter. Chaos. Joy.
And the best part?
A room full of midlife women who get it.

📍 Portland, OR
📅 July 16–19, 2026
More sparkle.
Less overthinking.
Way more “f**k it, let’s do this.”

IT’S THE WEEKLY CAROUSEL O’ CHAOS!👯🪩💎

To take a moment and sit, laugh, and bloomscroll 🌸 the most silly, unserious, & funny parts of instagram I found this week. Because I know I’m not the only one who needs it.

And man, some of these had me crying. Which is your favorite?

Positive Psychology Fun Fact: When you watch something funny, your brain releases dopamine — the neurotransmitter tied to motivation, hope, and reward. That little hit of laughter literally tells your nervous system, “I’m safe right now.”

And if you are feeling ragey AND like joy, silliness, sequins, and cuddling with baby goats…check out SPARK!

SPARK San Diego was an amazing success and now SPARK Portland is LIVE! It’s going to be bigger, bolder, sparklier, sillier and just plain feral fun!

SPARK are my new long weekend retreats to help midlife women unplug, unwind, and have a s**t-ton of fun.

Think happiness science, arts & crafts, drag bingo, baby goat cuddle parties, rage painting party, 80s/90s trivia, and a Mrs. Roper Romp scavenger hunt and more!

Midlife doesn’t have to be a quiet chapter.
It can be a riot of joy with women who get you. 🔥

Just a 🔥FRIDAY FERAL🔥 Reminder!

📣You’ve been asking…I’m here to tell you SPARK midlife events are officially a thing. This is my fu***ng opus after 18 years of doing this work.

Long weekend events for feral midlife women that are based on fun, play, community, creativity, and just getting our SPARK back. 🔥

I have been fiercely working behind the scenes planning SPARKS for the next year, and it’s pretty beautiful if I do say so myself.🤩

Portland OR, Montreal, Denver, San Diego, Chicago, Vancouver, and UK/Europe. This is going to get really good.

Plus, I want to do a SPARK Cruise on

Which are you most excited about? 👇👇

👇 Comment SPARK and I’ll send you all the details right in your DMs and put you on the list.

🪩SPARK Montreal is slowly coming together… and in anticipation of it, Pants the kitten — our adorable new ginger rescue — had a very serious and important French-inspired photo shoot to celebrate. 🇫🇷✨🐈

Which one is your favorite? 😂

SPARK Montreal
Sept 10–13, 2026

50 midlife women heading to Montreal for four days of joy, connection, silliness, tiny pastries, possible sequins, and feral main-character energy.

We’re talking:
✨ a morning rave with coffee, croissants, and 80s/90s music
✨ happiness workshops rooted in positive psychology and real-life skills
✨ puppy parties
✨ rage painting
✨ Drag Bingo
✨ a Schitt’s Creek Olympics nobody will fully understand until it’s happening
✨ and a full Moira Rose dress-up night because Catherine O’Hara deserves our respect and commitment.

And you BET we will be eating some poutine.

This is not a silent retreat.
This is women remembering they are allowed to be loud, weird, joyful, playful, emotional, sparkly, dramatic, ridiculous, creative, and fully themselves.

The matriarchy needs enrichment activities.

We’re currently looking for the perfect Montreal-area venue for around 50 women.

Requirements:
✨ good vibes
✨ walkable-ish
✨ cute lighting
✨ capable of surviving feral Gen X energy

Hotels, retreat centers, artsy spaces, hidden gems — send me everything.

Welcome to 🌸What’s Good Wednesday🌸where I share happy, heart-warming, joy-boosting videos from amazing creators on Instagram. They are tagged below & in the post.💛✨

It’s call bloomscrolling because we all need some hope, and joy right now. 🌸🌺🌼

I hope this profile creates a safe space for you to feel, cry, smile and believe in humanity again.
Because I believe this is what most of us are like.

And when you watch videos like these — the ones that make you laugh, smile, or feel that little spark in your chest — your brain literally responds by releasing dopamine and oxytocin, the chemistry that helps you feel lighter, calmer, and more grounded.

We need JOY right now more than ever — it regulates your mood, steadies your nervous system, and reminds you that good things are still happening. Even small moments can shift the entire day. 🌿💫

If you want to hang out with me and other smart, sweary, midlife women, learning about happiness, doing arts and crafts, and just getting a little feral…join me for SPARK Portland!

THEME: Shiny Bi***es Unite. 🪩
Portland, Oregon. July 16–19, 2026.

🔥It’s time for another Peri/Menopause chaos carousel because if we don’t laugh at this s**t, we might actually lose it. 😭

Anyone relate?

Thank you to these creators for so many laughs.

I’m 52, deep in perimenopause, and honestly? I’m fu***ng over it.

Perimenopause feels like a fever dream with no exit.

One minute I’m crying over an animal video.
The next I’m rage-yelling at the patriarchy like, NOT TODAY, SATAN.

So I pulled together this roundup with videos from amazing midlife creators who are all out here telling the truth about this hormonal circus.

They’re tagged in the lower left corner of each video, so go follow them immediately.

And if midlife has you feeling like a sweaty little goblin in a cardigan, come join me at SPARK Portland.

SPARK is a joy-fueled, mildly feral weekend for midlife women who are tired of just getting through life and ready to actually live it.

We’re talking joy workshops, arts and crafts, drag bingo, game shows, rage painting, crazy wig bowling and karaoke, deep conversations, big laughs, and the kind of community that reminds you that you are not doing this s**t alone.

Link is in bio, or comment SPARK and I’ll send the details to your DMs.
