Hello my fellow child of the 80’s! My name is Mary Black, an early X'er (born in ‘66) who spent her high school years in the early 80's listening to Foreigner, Journey, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi ACDC, Def Leppard and allllll the other good stuff.  We had The BEST music ever, didn’t we?

I graduated from high school in 1984 and in what seemed like a faster-than-Marty-went-back-to-the-future instant, I was pushing 60! As Doc would say “Great Scott!”  While it's been decades since I left high school, my brain still thinks I'm somewhere in my 30's, landing around 32. (You too?)

Since getting my health on track in my mid-40's, I've made it my mission to inspire other GenX women, like you,  to get healthy and live a vibrant life so you can out do what you love DESPITE the number of birthdays you’ve had. My goal is to make sure you have the mindset that age isn’t what is stopping you, it’s just because you don’t want to.

I’ll be building this for like-minded women who aren’t ready to throw in the towel just yet, despite what society tells us. You, me and the rest of the women that join this community are going to be the next generation of “Golden Girls”, but we are leveling up our life even more that Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia did in the 80’s! 

A little more about me. I have been married to my husband Mark since 1989 and over the years friends and family told us we were crazy. First, we decided that we didn’t want to have kids and man I felt lonely back then when we made that decision. Family especially were harsh, even one family member telling me I was being selfish (excuse me?). While it’s much more common for the younger generations to make that decision, I guess I was in a way a pioneer “back in the day”. 

Crazy: Whelp, my husband and I had a front yard full of anywhere from a couple dozen to 60 sled dogs in our front yard for 22 years, 10 of which were off-grid and the plowed road! We were living the dream, despite people telling us we were crazy, and looking back…I think we were! But, we have no regrets and are still doing crazy stuff like: Moving to Alaska in 2015, moving to Florida in 2022 and moving BACK to Alaska last year. It’s been a wild ride and I’ve learned A LOT along the way about what to do and what NOT to do when making big changes, and I’m here to help you navigate living your life with the same purpose and passion I have for the last decade or more.  

I'm just getting started building this brand to celebrate making it this far in life so you and I can rock this next chapter. I’m here to remind you that you are relevant, beautiful and still have a LOT to contribute to this world. Be sure to bookmark the site and the BLOG (1st post is up) as I will be adding more pages to help you level up in the coming weeks including more coaching options, guides, plans and more! Next up: GenX gear (mugs, shirts, bags, etc,) to make you laugh and to show the world you are a freakin’ badass GenX woman! The Y & Z generations wish they could be as cool as us, right? 

Alright my badass friend…you ready to rock this next chapter? Let’s go!
