Let’s GLOW Older Together ✨💃🏻💃🏻✨

The wrong side of forty.

That was it… the only synonym for “midlife” on thesaurus.com.

One and done.

With a language as rich as ours, how is this possible?

Ughhh.

Now, if you’re my kind, you’d be yelling along with me:

F*CK THAT.

If you’re a Gen X woman who refuses to take your sacred middle years lying down, you’re in the right place — at the right time!

We Gen X femmes are a band of strong, fiercely independent beauties born roughly between 1965 to 1980.

Wrong side of forty? Bitch pleeeeez.

We spent forty-plus years going through it all, often being everything to others at our own expense.

Now we’re wise enough to know that true happiness is impossible without loving and caring for ourselves first. We deserve it, now more than ever.

Wrong side of forty?

Let’s RIGHT this wrong.

Starting now.

Come cross the threshold to the right side of forty, where you BEGIN AGAIN, REBOOT, guided by your hard-earned WISDOM and TRUTH.

This is your time to focus on — and celebrate — YOU.

Helping You Navigate the Changes in Midlife

This life stage is full of changes and transitions on so many levels.

Yet discussions and answers around women’s midlife topics are far and few between.

Living in a youth-obsessed culture that treats aging like a disease, it’s easy to feel invisible, like your best years are behind you.

Gen X Venus is a special place dedicated to celebrating you…

YOU as a WOMAN, as a LOVER, as a RADIANT GODDESS.

Here, we won’t be talking about being a mom, a wife, or whatever else the world likes to label a woman’s place in the world.

In fact, this is where you come to do damage control from a lifetime of doing free social work… like pleasing your man, pleasing your kids, or pleasing the status quo.

This is a place to reclaim yourself, value yourself, and please yourself.

It’s time to release the shoulds and start living your whys.

Here, you’ll find content that inspires, educates, and offers solutions to real issues and real desires that matter most to your unique life stage.

It’s a sanctuary to explore and learn how to have abundant joy, vibrant health, sexual happiness, and loving relationships — on your terms.

Most importantly, this is a safe space for you to feel belonged, seen, supported, and empowered. 💖

About Alice

Hey there! I’m Alice Kim, founder of Gen X Venus.

I’m a 48-year-old Korean-American former military brat living in NYC.

I’m a fashion designer-turned-stylist of 20+ years, and now, I write!

I was once married to a fine gentleman for 14 years, but it was time to set each other free in love. That was five years ago, and being single is my happy place.

I’m queer and non-monogamous, which means my love life can be pret-ty pret-ty interesting!

I’m passionate about jazz and playing the piano. There’s nothing more thrilling to me than making improvised music with other humans!

I may be childfree, but damn, my two cats — Chopin and Monk — sure make me feel like an adoring mama. 😻😻
