About Us
Midlife Butterfly Club
Welcome from me, Jean Macdonald, and the Butterfly Club Team
Since 2021 the Midlife Butterfly Club has been helping women adjust to the changes that are part of the Midlife Transition. These include the peri-menopause of course but are more far reaching than just physical changes to our bodies.
If you are a woman in, or approaching middle life, I’d like to tell you a bit about us and how we believe we can help you.
Online Magazine
First, we have our online Magazine, which you may have seen on the website. This contains twelve short articles, videos or podcasts at a time. These tell you about issues that are relevant to you as a woman approaching or already in middle life.
Regular News and Updates
Second, we have a weekly blog post consisting of Club News and a Magazine Update to tell you what is in the magazine now and coming up, so you don’t miss out.
Members Area
Our members have access to a wide range of resources and guidance about their midlife transition in their own section of the this website. Membership of the Midlife Butterfly Club is free.
Hello I am Jean Macdonald
I first became aware of the needs of Midlife Women when writing my book Love, Sex and the Midlife Woman published in 2016. We then started a Facebook Group for Midlife Women which later became the Butterfly Club.
I believe passionately that Midlife Women are the future saviours of our society from the continuing dominance of men, which is often called the Patriarchy. Their biggest obstacle is lack of belief in themselves due to social programming.
Our role is therefore to show midlife women that they have the skills and talent to break out and inspire them with a vision for their own lives and our society for the future.
Hello, I’m Andrea Pielago
I work as Jean’s Deputy. I take care of our magazine, social media, and design for the Butterfly Club. I live in the Philippines with my husband and four children. I feel destined to work here, especially since I’ve noticed that I myself am already on a midlife journey. I’ll be sharing music on Music Sundays in the magazine, so stay tuned. Feel free to share in the comments if you want the song of your life to be featured.
