When The Fold was launched in July, we had one goal: provide relevant and relatable content to women beyond the millennial age range. Since then we have shared personal stories on everything from motherhood to aging, profiled female independent retail owners, provided monthly astro-wellness wisdom, talked about money (and the myriad of complexities that come along with it), offered monthly spiritual rituals and reading recommendations and music inspiration, all from women who, like me, are of "an uncertain age" and who are experts in the fields they represent.

We have a lot of new exciting content in store for 2018, but before we get ahead of ourselves we really want to ask: What are we missing? What, or who, do YOU want to see more of in this space? How can we improve? Let us know in the comments below or email us directly. All who respond will receive a personal token of thanks. (Just be sure to include your email address if you leave your feedback in the comments, so we can contact you directly.)

Thank you for helping us usher this new season of content onto The Fold.

Sometimes the perfect respite from life's unpredictability is a favorite spot in our homes. For Tiffany Wendel, a professional stylist and mother of twins, redesigning her home after a divorce sounded like the perfect form of self care. With deep, textured greens and airy blues comprising the design direction of each room, it seems every inch of Tiffany's home is meant to pay homage to calmness, balance and, the thing she loves most of all, the ocean.

The thoughts and ideas made us pause, think and most importantly, consider what is happening in the world.

We are acknowledging this month that, like the calendar year, we also go through "seasons" of preferences--particularly when it comes to reading. While in the summers we crave lighter, airier works of fiction to the deep, enthralling stores that move us in the winter, for the month of February we are focusing on 3 memoirs that are perfect for hunkering down and fighting the cold.

A few thoughts from around the web this week that gave us pause to consider our view of the world.

As inflated with trends and fads as the wellness industry has become, that saturation has inadvertently caused a lot of confusion around what wellness is. Whether it's a daily exercise regimen, clean eating or simply being more present, we are taking a moment to acknowledge that wellness is an ever-evolving, fluid phenomenon that means something different to everyone.
