Navigating the Messy Middle

Q&A with Canadian author Ann Douglas

Longtime blogging gave me an international network of colleagues. But to call them “colleagues” doesn’t get at the heart-to-heart relationships we forged over the years.

I’ll call these folks “my people.” It doesn’t matter if you live nearby or talk often, you just know when you encounter one of your people.

Ann Douglas is one of my people.

Ann’s the author of 26 (!) books, including Canada's bestselling book series on pregnancy and parenting. She also wrote Parenting Through the Storm¹, a compassionate and insightful guide for parents of kids with developmental- and/or emotional struggles.

Her four kids are now adults, and she’s still writing, speaking and advocating for change. Her newest book, Navigating the Messy Middle: A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women (affiliate link), is out this week in the US.
