I didn't set out to wanting to set such audacious goals for my 50th. Starting a biz, moving to Mexico, and becoming an integral part of Help Tulum Dogs, wasn't even on my radar. But as 50 fast approached, I got what peeps like to call  the 'midlife itchies.'  A yearning for something more. The groundhog day of my bartender life with my only hobbies being Sephora, Nordstrom, and more bars, well, it just wasn't cutting it anymore.  I'd started to scroll IG nightly, searching for my next dreamy destination. Travel and adventure have always been huge for me.
During my scrolls though I couldn't help but notice that I wasn't seeing ME reflected back. Like AT ALL. 
No one looked like US. It was like us midlife gals didn't actually travel.  It was then I realized how important it was to switch my IG handle to something that showed my age.. Hotflashes & Boardingpasses was born! I then set out to create the same dreamy shots that I saw all the young girls taking. To prove that AT ANY AGE.

IG became a total game changer. By showing up and putting myself out there I was able to win a social media scholarship to Bali, to gain clients for my new biz, and to make the midlife connections I was so craving.

And along the way I discovered that with this crazy app, you can inspire ALL ages to embrace the privilege of aging!!!
