Your Next Chapter Starts Here.
AI MIDLIFE RISING
Midlife isn't the closing of a chapter; it's often the moment everything you've learned, built, and wondered about finally has the tools to become something new. AI Midlife Rising is a free virtual summit for women who are quietly asking, "What's next for me?" Join thirteen women sharing how they're leading what's next, through their creativity, their lived experience, and the ideas they've always wanted to pursue, and come see what might be possible for you.
Maybe You've Been
Asking Yourself...
"What is next for me?"
"Is it too late to start something new?"
"Could I finally build that idea I've been thinking about?"
"How are other women actually using AI in real life?"
"Could AI make my life or work a little easier?"
"Could I create the thing I haven't had the time, skills, or confidence to create — until now?"
"What could the next 10, 20, or 30 years look like if they are aligned with my purpose?"
"I could keep juggling it all, but do I really want to?"
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re exactly who this summit was created for.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Why This Summit Exists
Most conversations about AI focus on tools, technology, and moving fast now. This summit focuses on people — specifically, women who are discovering new possibilities because of AI. This isn't about becoming an AI expert. It's about listening to real women share what they're doing, thinking, and building, and recognizing a little bit of yourself in their stories.
This summit exists to show how resilience, hope, purpose, creativity, and years of accumulated knowledge and experience can be aligned with and amplified by using AI to serve your life's next chapter. It's a space designed for curiosity and reflection, not intimidation. We want you to walk away not just informed, but inspired and thinking....
“Maybe I could do that too.”
What You'll Experience
Over the course of this free summit, you'll hear from thirteen women sharing how they're using AI to lead what's next — in their creativity, their work, and their everyday lives. Come for real stories, not technical training, and leave with a clearer sense of what might be possible for you.
Creativity & Self-Expression
Career Pivots & New Beginnings

A NOTE FROM TERI
Why I created AI Midlife Rising
I created this summit because I know what it feels like to wonder, “What’s next?”
I’ve spent the past couple of years learning, building, taking risks, and moving forward even when I wasn’t completely sure where the path would lead.
And something beautiful happened along the way: these incredible women came into my life.
They aren’t just speakers. To me, they are friends, coaches, inspirations, and proof of what can happen when you keep showing up, trying something new, and taking the next step before you have everything figured out.
Each of them has generously volunteered her time, experience, and wisdom to remind other women that the next chapter can be meaningful, exciting, purposeful — and beautiful.
That’s why I created this room. I’m so glad you’re here.
