  • Angela Burk, Voicing the Truth to Midlife Women

    Angela Burk, Voicing the Truth to Midlife Women
    Feb 4 2026
    From career reinvention to navigating three waves of menopause including rage and a host of wild symptoms, Angela Burk holds nothing back in her Angela Burk's brutally honest, deeply passionate book, “Real Girls Guide to Midlife.” After divorcing at 45 with three young sons, she torched the script she'd been following for decades and rebuilt her life from scratch, complete with a long-distance love, a blended family of seven kids, and hard-won wisdom about sagging knees, disappearing eyebrows, and the fierce confidence that only comes at midlife. Angela’s book is the antidote to every glossy, sanitized narrative ever written about aging gracefully. This isn't a guide to getting it right. It’s a companion for getting real. A manifesto for women who are tired of shrinking, settling, and waiting for permission to live boldly. For more information, visit realgirlsguide.com.
