Dear Bluma
Midlife Advice with Wisdom + Wildness
Because midlife brings questions Google can’t answer.
This is your new go-to advice column for the soulfully curious, the slightly lost, and the gloriously blooming. Think of Dear Bluma as your wise, whimsical, slightly sassy best friend in written form. Somewhere between Dear Abby and Carrie Bradshaw with a dash of crone goddess.
Whether you're reinventing your life, navigating complicated relationships, craving something deeper, or just wondering why your spark feels a little dim... Bluma is here to help.
Meet Bluma
Your wise witch, fun aunt, and rebellious soul guide.
She’s been through some sh*t. She’s rewritten the rules. And now she’s here to help you bloom, whether you’re unraveling, reinventing, or just trying to feel like yourself again.
Bluma doesn’t shrink, sugarcoat, or apologize. She’ll pour the tea, hold the mirror, and hand you a metaphorical (or literal) match when it’s time to burn something down.
She’s part oracle, part hype woman, and all heart.
So go ahead! Send your question. She might just write you back.
