Kara Baskin
When Kara Baskin found herself losing her mom while working full time and caring for young children, she sought out a book that would put her experience—which hit like a cocktail of overwhelm, muddled feminism, and bitters—into words. She didn’t find the book she was looking for, and yet on every soccer field sideline, over drinks with friends, and during meetups of other journalists, simmering resentment poured forth in stolen moments among women, as did a search for validation. So Kara started asking questions. What is it that makes this stage different from what it was for women who came before? How can we field all of this midlife grief, stress, and upheaval and still, you know, enjoy ourselves? Each chapter of Everything to Everyone takes readers through a different role Gen X and early Millennial women play, from adult daughter of aging parents, to operations executive, to diligent professional, to EQ-translator, and asks how to adopt these roles more thoughtfully. As Kara explains, we are still the primary caregivers for our parents (66 percent of us, anyway!), and do the majority of labor in our own households, as in earlier generations--but we are also woke enough to know that we’re getting screwed. We are the ones calling our widowed dads to make sure they eat while simultaneously telling our daughters not to blindly take on gender stereotypes. We understand the necessity of hard work and sacrifice for family. We also deserve to feel buoyed by the fullness of our lives, not crushed.
This isn’t a call to burn it all down. It’s an invitation to appreciate what we’ve built, on our own terms.

Commentaires
"We live in a culture that specializes in making people feel unseen through productivity demands, influencer highlight reels, and a culture of comparison. Baskin is the antidote. She brings warmth, humor, and clear-eyed optimism to the messy, meaningful work of navigating midlife. She will make you feel seen and empowered. Read it and pass it on."

"Sandwich generation? More like triple-decker club sandwich for most of us caregivers these days. Everything to Everyone has the best resources and strategies I've ever found, but its magic is in its humor and solidarity. Kara somehow rewired my brain to turn overwhelm into gratitude."
—Lauren Smith Brody, author and CEO of The Fifth Trimester, and co-founder Chamber of Mothers“Everything to Everyone is the warm, funny, deeply validating midlife book so many women need. Kara Baskin captures the overwhelm and emotional weight of this stage of life with clarity and compassion, while pushing back against the pressure to constantly fix or reinvent ourselves. It reminds us that sometimes small shifts and better balance are more than enough.”
—Eve Rodsky, JD, Best-Selling Author of Fair Play and Founder of the Fair Play Policy Institute
