Midlife, Twice Divorced, No Kids, Laid Off, And Chronically Sick. Yet, I’m Starting Over At 46 Anyway.

I’m Dani. I went from the U.S. State Department to moving back into my parents’ small apartment in Bulgaria with nothing but my expertise and a laptop. After two divorces, chronic illness, and a career collapse, I’m done waiting for life to get easier.

This is Glow & Grow Anyway.

Here, I’m documenting how I’m building a personal brand and a business from scratch using AI as practical support, while navigating brain fog, limited energy, and a total life pivot. I’m not writing from the finish line but rather from the beginning of the middle.

If you’re a midlife woman who feels worn down, overlooked, or unsure how to start again without pretending everything is fine, this space is for you. I’m building a toolkit for our second act in real time, in public, and you’re welcome to subscribe. Let’s build the evidence of what’s possible. Let’s glow and grow anyway.
