Today we’d like to introduce you to Rumblings Media.
Hi Rumblings, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hitting 50 wasn’t the turning point we hoped it would be. We thought we’d be the happiest we’ve ever been, content in our own skin, and deeply connected to wonderful women across our communities. Instead, it was just the opposite. We found ourselves executive leaders in the healthcare industry, burned out, exhausted, and unfulfilled at what was supposed to be the peak of our careers. Our children (5 between us) were graduating, leaving home, and successfully finding their way in the world…without us. Unfortunately at the same time, our self-talk made a 180 and we felt too old, irrelevant, and invisible. We were lacking connection with other women. We’d each worked in the wellness and healthcare industries for over 30 years. We knew we had years ahead of us to live well and flourish, yet we found ourselves stuck.
It was at that time, we started talking to other women our age. The experiences were similar. We had years ahead to be a little more selfish, focus on ourselves, give back to our communities, thrive in our relationships, and flourish in our careers, yet we were ALL stuck. The problem was most of us had been trying to live up to an unrealistic standard, and as a result, felt we were climbing a huge mountain and never reaching the top.
We decided this wasn’t how we wanted to live.
We want to thrive! We want to flourish! And, we want to help other women do the same!
We decided to create change, so we took our professional knowledge, conversations with other women, and our personal experience and created a business to help women live well after 50–Rumblings Media.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
We started our business in July of 2020. Launching a new business in the middle of a pandemic is never easy, especially a business focused on women coming together in a community.
Midlife women tell us they feel disconnected, undervalued, and invisible as they age. They’re struggling with physical changes and how to be their authentic selves while also experiencing the external pressures to be ageless. We understand these challenges because we’re in the midst of living them too.
Midlife women want to build friendships, engage with other midlife women, try new things, and experience life to its fullest. They want to feel vibrant as they age.
At Rumblings Media we provide education and social events online and in-person to support midlife women.
Our goal is to inspire women to live well and flourish.
As you know, we’re big fans of Rumblings Media. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At Rumblings Media, we are passionate about inspiring midlife women to live well and flourish. It is time to redefine what it means to be ageless, healthy, and a woman in the prime of her life. We provide online and in-person educational and social events to bring women together, inspire change, build connections, and lift one another up. We must ensure every woman, no matter her age, feels seen, valued, and inspired to live her best life.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success is when all women, regardless of age, feel valued, seen, and inspired to live their best lives as they age. We want women to embrace aging and the gifts that come with growing older together in the community. Midlife is a time for reinvention, reconnection, and rejuvenation. It’s never too late.
