Join us in welcoming Ada Calhoun in conversation with Bethanne Patrick discussing Calhoun’s new book Why We Can’t Sleep!

A generation-defining exploration of the new midlife crisis facing Gen X women and the unique circumstances that have brought them to this point

When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too?

Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

Speaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to “have it all,” Calhoun found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard, they were told instead to lean in, take “me-time,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them.

This event is free and open for all to attend! Kindly RSVP here!
