I'm Kathy, your new get-a-grip best bud.
Midlife? Nope—mid-adventure.
I’m Kathy Woodard Bates, founder of The Middle Girls—where women over 50 come to rediscover their spark and own their story.
After 25 years creating lifestyle content for millions, I’ve learned that “the middle” is where the magic happens—in age, in style, in life. I love a sharp blazer and great lipstick, but I’m also queen of the cozy-sweats-and-coffee crowd. And I believe the best accessory at any age is a healthy, confident mindset—because when that shifts, everything else does too.
Here, we celebrate real women living real lives—because confidence isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up as you, wherever you are.
👉 Because your best adventures? They’re still ahead.
