For Gen X women navigating hospitals by day and hormone shifts by night—this is your space to breathe, laugh, and learn.
I believe midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a calling.
After 21 years in elder care and case management, I’ve seen what happens when families aren’t given clear information—and how powerful things become when they are.
At Lumina Life 50+, I help Gen X women rediscover themselves in the middle of caregiving, career fatigue, and starting over. I blend real-life RN expertise with soul-deep support, because you deserve more than survival—you deserve clarity, confidence, and the tools to thrive.
Whether you’re caring for your parent, trying to reclaim your spark, or both… it's not too late. You’re not too old. And you are not alone.
If I could sit across from my 30-year-old self—the one trying to hold it all together, still waiting for permission to rest—I wouldn’t give her advice. I’d tell her the truth. Reinvention isn’t a glow-up. It’s a resurrection. In this deeply personal episode of Lumina Life 50+, I’m sharing the 5 truths I wish someone had told me before the weight gain, the heartbreak, the healing, and the rediscovery.
With heart,
Sondra Santos, RN
Creator of Lumina Life 50+

I am an RN, a wife, a mom, a veteran, a breast cancer survivor, an abuse survivor — and a midlife woman who realized she was ready to begin again.
Lumina Life 50+ was born out of my own reinvention.
Now, I help other women step into their strength, heal from burnout, and rediscover who they are — with humor, heart, and honesty.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just need a place to start.

At 25, I wasn’t thinking about retirement—I was thinking about surviving.
Raising kids, paying bills, navigating chaos.
And I know I’m not alone.
We were told that if we didn’t start saving young, we were doomed.
But guess what? They were wrong.
It’s not too late to get financially secure in your 50s.
You don’t need a million-dollar portfolio or a perfect financial past.
You need clarity, consistency, and a reminder that you’re not broken—you’re just rebuilding with better tools now.
