Kalön Women's vision is to be a powerful voice for all women 40+ as we face challenges unique to our generation. We are the sandwich generation, caring for aging parents, growing or grown children, grandchildren and sometimes doing all of it while maintaining a professional career. And yes, salary equity is still an issue.

Our professional career successes have been hard won, without the benefit of the 'boys club'. We are living longer and healthier lives, which creates a host of issues including living alone, financial concerns, and new relationships. We don't necessarily want to look older than our age, so fitness and health are important to us and we have grown beyond the need to mold ourselves into others expectations. We have learned to face life with strength, dignity and a big helping of humor.

The mission of Kalön Women is to provide answers and raise awareness of issues and causes that affect us, so that our generation of women will be stronger from knowledge gained, and the generation of women who follow in our path will hopefully find it less rocky.  The articles, stories, poetry and other written expressions in Kalön Women are created by real women 40+.  Written to inspire, help and perhaps provide a few laughs to all "women of a certain age".
