Unlock the Possibilities of the Adjacent Doors

Midlife isn’t a decline — it’s a doorway.

The 50/50 Matrenaissance Project is a six-month storytelling initiative celebrating women who have redefined life after 50. Created by public scholar, author and podcast host Dr. Jennifer Brubaker, the project invites women everywhere to share real stories of reinvention, purpose, and growth - reminding us all that our most powerful years can be the ones still ahead.

At the heart of this movement is the Matrenaissance - a rebirth of the modern midlife woman - and the belief that when one door feels closed, there are always others beside it, often overlooked but filled with possibility. Together, through Adjacent Doors, we’re changing how the world sees women in midlife: visible, vibrant, and full of potential.
