Hi. My name is Mindy Tsai, and I write the Encore Years (previously called I’m with Me) newsletter, which comes out every Friday (give or take). I am passionate about being single living my encore years/adulthood II/third chapter in the most authentic and fabulous ways possible in good and bad times.
At age twenty-seven, I broke up with my long-term college boyfriend and started an odyssey that continues to this day. Now stepping into the fifties, I learned and am still learning how to navigate my place in life and this world. I believe that a woman can live joyfully and meaningfully alone, starting to write late in life is okay, and one can be a global citizen. It may not always be easy, but it is possible.
Encore Years is for both believers and skeptics. I hope to share my journey of single encore living in weekly bite-sized pieces to encourage singles/women/writers like me and change the expectation that there is one path that fits all. It’s my challenges, observations, reflections, and learnings. Life is messy, and this will not read like a romantic comedy.
I’m keeping this newsletter free for anyone who wants to read it. Subscribe for free to get the newsletter in your inbox. Never miss an update.
