Life doesn’t always follow the main storyline—and let’s be real, midlife is more like a glitchy RPG than a tidy hero’s journey. Hope’s Side Quest is where we drop the perfection act and talk about the real stuff: identity reboots, messy growth, unexpected plot twists, and why it’s totally okay if you still don’t know what you’re doing. (Spoiler alert: most of us don’t.)
Written by April Roller-Morris—your tough-love, geeky-as-heck guide with a soft spot for underdogs and awkward heroes—this blog is a mix of honest reflections, side-splitting life lessons, and the occasional pop culture reference that'll hit you right in the feels.
It’s not self-help. It’s real talk with heart, humor, and a few curse words. Because even side quests can change everything.
