Midlife Expedition: 2027 Edition October–December 2026

What do YOU want to do now?

Not someday. Now.

Welcome to BTC Studio:The Midlife Expedition

Inspired by The Happiness Project By Gretchen Rubin, BTC Studio: Midlife Expedition is a three-month experience inside MSS Between the Chapters where we're going to look around, follow some curiosity, collect possibilities, and start figuring out what deserves a place on your 2027 map.

Maybe you want to pick up an old hobby.

Maybe there's a trip you've been talking about forever.

Maybe you want to learn something completely random.

Maybe you need more time with friends.

Maybe you want to make something.

On our three month adventure we'll...

🧭 OCTOBER

LOOK AROUND

Notice where you are and what's catching your attention.

✨ NOVEMBER

Go Wild

Follow the curiosity. Collect possibilities. Let yourself think beyond what is practical for a minute.

🗺️ DECEMBER

Make The Map

Decide what you actually want to take with you into 2027 and start plotting the year you want to have.

This isn't a list of resolutions. It's a field guide for exploring your own life and a map for the year you want to have.

And because this is a Midlife Secret Society experience, you're not doing it alone. There will be conversation, creativity, some experimenting, and plenty of room to change your mind along the way.

You might discover something you love or rediscover something you forgot you loved.

You might finally do something you've been putting off.

You might try something and decide, Nope. Absolutely not.

That counts, too.

Because every adventure has a few wrong turns.

Here's What's Included:

YOUR FIELD GUIDE

Your sidekick for the expedition.

This is where you'll do the exploring.

You'll have: prompts, questions, lists, activities, exercises,

and plenty of space to capture the things that catch your attention along the way.

Some pages will make you think.

Some might make you laugh.

Some might make you stop and write: “WAIT. I actually want to do THAT.”

You don't have to finish it all at once.

We'll work through it throughout the three months.

THE STUDIO

This is your online home base.

You’ll get access to the Midlife Secret Society online community and the BTC Studio discussion space.

You’ll find space to brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot thoughts, find your hobby partners…and whatever else you need that space for. We shape our space to fit our friends-not fit our friends into our space.

THE STUDIO GATHERINGS

This is where we do it together.

Once a month, we'll get together on Zoom to talk, brainstorm, work through activities, share ideas, ask questions, and meet some great people mapping their 2027 year of fun!

Our Studio Gatherings:

Tuesday, October 13 • 7:00 PM ET

Tuesday, November 17 • 7:00 PM ET

Tuesday, December 15 • 7:00 PM ET

Put them on your calendar now.

By the end of BTC Studio, you'll have your own Midlife Expedition Map for 2027—a collection of ideas, experiences, priorities, adventures, and possibilities that reflect what you want more of now.

Three months to look around.

Three months to explore.

Three months to start making the map.

And when we're done, you'll have something you can take with you into 2027:

Your 2027 Expedition Map

A collection of ideas, experiences, adventures, priorities, and possibilities that are uniquely yours.

Because we've already lived a whole damn life.

We're not done yet.

There's still a lot of map left.
