Founder Reflections: Midlife Colonoscopy Fun
Join me for a Grief & Joy Founder Reflection: Midlife Colonoscopy fun!
Because Life Happens Collection
One minute you’re navigating hot flashes and brain fog.
The next, your kids are gone—or coming back.
Meanwhile, your parents suddenly need more help than advice.
This is the season no one prepared you for.
The Because Life Happens Collection is made for the overlap—the stage of life where menopause, empty nesting, caregiving, and emotional exhaustion collide. It’s humor for people holding a lot, feeling a lot, and still showing up.

Founder Reflections: Navigating Care Levels for Aging Parents
Today’s Founder Reflection is about navigating care levels for our aging parents.
Founder Reflections: Gen X Women in Midlife
Gen X women have a special challenge in midlife, in my opinion.
Not only are we dealing with the typical midlife bullshit like menopause, empty nesting, possibly widowhood, caregiving, etc…
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
😂 Can I get a hell yes on finally closing a tough chapter? This card has just the right words to share with someone who recently lost a job or some other toxic life situation.
Humor for the In-Between Years
This isn’t midlife crisis humor.
It’s midlife reality humor.
These products and stories speak to:
- The unpredictability of perimenopause and menopause
- The quiet (and loud) emotions of an empty or revolving nest
- The stress, love, and guilt that come with caring for aging parents
- The mental load of being the “everything person”
If you’ve ever thought, “How is all of this happening at the same time?”—you’re in the right place.
What You’ll Find in This Collection
✔ Relatable humor about everything that can happen in midlife: menopause, empty nesting, job loss, caregiving, and more
✔ Honest laughs about the identity shifts that come with all of these life transitions
✔ Products and stories that acknowledge these life transitions with compassion and laughter
✔ Products and stories that say, “You’re not crazy. This is a lot.”
These are not solutions.
They’re recognition.
Why Humor Helps When Life Is Layered
Because sometimes laughter is the only release valve.
We use humor to:
- Normalize the chaos of this life stage
- Reduce isolation and shame
- Create moments of relief without minimizing the hard stuff
- Remind you that coping can include laughing
This is humor that understands exhaustion, grief, love, and resilience—often all in the same day.
Perfect For…
• Women navigating midlife
• Friends who want to say something without fixing anything
Whether you’re buying for yourself or someone else, this collection meets you in the middle of real life.
Because This Season Deserves Honesty
This chapter is complex.
It’s emotional.
It’s relentless.
And yes—sometimes it’s darkly funny.
Welcome to humor for the season where everything overlaps.
Welcome to Because Life Happens—from Grief & Joy.
