From The Open Field comes this empathetic, practical, and deeply relatable exploration of midlife today—and a field guide to do it your way.
For too long, society has marked the forties as a decade of decline and predictability. But the truth is, it’s anything but. Shaped by thrilling possibilities, your forties can be a time of profound self-discovery. You know yourself better than ever, and are finally ready to let go of the “shoulds.”
Being 40 crafts a new narrative that captures the diverse experiences of women entering midlife today, shattering the limiting stories.
Hi, I’m Stacey
I report stories to set you free.
As a longtime journalist, I’ve covered topics impacting humanity, from natural disasters to health, art, and civics. Fascinated by what pushes and pulls the human spirit, I've focused mainly on issues affecting women.
My work lands at the crossroads of women’s advocacy and personal growth: bodily autonomy, patriarchal barriers, growing older with power, your inner Autumn Queen, and a life beyond expectations and roles. I help women interrogate old sexist stories and unlock their capability.
Whether you read, watch, or listen to my work, I hope it fuels you to hit send, say no, say yes, take a risk, and get closer to yourself.
