Life After Cappuccinos is a lifestyle media brand under The Family Grit umbrella, created for the back half of life — the season after 40 when the mornings are rarely quiet, the family is louder than ever, dreams feel more urgent, and the next chapter matters in a different kind of way.
This is a space for reinvention. For starting again. For proving that it is never too late to build something meaningful, chase something bigger, or become someone new.
Through stories, food, travel, family, conversations, and real-life experiences, Life After Cappuccinos celebrates the messy, beautiful, complicated middle of life — the part where we are still raising kids, rebuilding dreams, finding ourselves, and learning how to live fully with more purpose than ever before.
Because life after 40 is not the end of the story.
It might just be where the best part begins.

Madeline is the partner in chaos and the mom who keeps everything grounded, especially Glen. While balancing her everyday day job, she believes there’s more waiting on the other side of real commitment. As part of The Family Grit, she’s open to being shown that anything is possible when you fully lean in. With the impossible still pending, Madeline rides shotgun—helping build something meaningful behind the scenes, rooted in what matters most to her: family.

Ophelia
Ophelia is the one of the littlest members of The Family Grit, bringing big fun and an even bigger point of view at just 4 years old. With a heart of gold, sass to match, and a fearlessness that’s hard to keep up with, she reminds everyone that joy, honesty, and confidence don’t need to be learned—they’re natural. Ophelia adds laughter, curiosity, and a little wild magic to everything she touches.
Delilah
Delilah is the baby of the bunch and the sweetest two-year-old with a voice already finding its power. With an evolving personality and big things ahead, she’s quickly making her presence known. Having officially stolen the title of “pasta lover” from her mom, Delilah is patiently awaiting the chance to try pasta from around the world as she grows into her role within Life After Cappuccinos.
