Unfinished Wisdom Press was born out of a desire to share stories, spark conversations, and create a kinder space for reflection on what it means to age, change, and keep becoming. It’s more than a publishing imprint—it’s a gathering place for voices that remind us we are never finished learning, healing, or reinventing ourselves. Through books, blogs, and creative projects, Unfinished Wisdom Press offers encouragement for self-care, compassion for others, and honesty about the messy, beautiful realities of life. At its heart, it exists to connect people across generations and experiences, to inspire kindness, and to make sure no one has to navigate the hard questions of living and aging alone.
Who Knew Aging Was a Plot Twist
Who Knew Aging Was a Plot Twist is a blunt, funny, and deeply human guide for anyone who wakes up in midlife and realizes the script has changed. Combining lived memoir, practical research, and plenty of laugh-out-loud honesty, it leans into the surprises of identity, sex, work, grief, and desire with curiosity and compassion. Each chapter offers stories, short exercises, and journal sparks that let you reflect in the moment or dig deeper with the companion journal, while cross-cultural perspectives and clear, usable takeaways help readers rewrite worn scripts and find purpose, pleasure, and permission to be themselves at every age.
Ink, Wrinkles, and Wild Wisdom: A Coloring Book for Aging Out Loud This isn’t your grandma’s coloring book (though she’d probably love it too). Imagine bold tattoo-flash art reimagined on fierce older women who wear their stories in lines, ink, and laughter. Each page is a celebration of vitality, rebellion, and the kind of beauty that comes with living fully. Some prompts nudge you to reflect, others dare you to doodle outside the lines—but all of them invite you to play, pause, and see aging as art in motion.
It’s part meditation, part mischief, and all you.
The Tao of Doris celebrates the humor, grit, and wisdom of one unforgettable grandmother. Packed with “Dorisims” — her witty sayings and practical life lessons — this collection is equal parts family folklore and timeless truth, reminding us that the simplest words often carry the deepest wisdom.
