The Midlife Khaos Origin Story

Midlife Khaos was born from the fire of reinvention.

I built beauty inside a building that had held my family for decades. A place where my father’s memory still hung in the air and my mother’s passion lined the walls. I poured myself into that space. I curated magic through pandemics, through heartache, through shifting ground.

But sometimes life asks you to let go—even when you’re not ready. Even when the goodbye is painful and unfinished.

Khaos, once a nickname from my roller derby days, defined my wilder side. And now, it feels right to return to that name—to that self.

Life is changing. So are we. Midlife Khaos isn’t just about age. It’s about arrival, rebellion, and freedom.

Midlife Khaos is a movement. A revival. A feral renaissance. For every woman who’s ever lost something… and used it to reinvent everything.

I’ve built this space for us. For women ready to reclaim their power, their presence, and their personal style. For the Femme Feral who dresses how she feels—and never asks for permission.

It’s not about fashion. It’s about freedom.
