DINA ARONSON is a writer, editor, and pro-age advocate who is passionate about shining a light on midlife women and reframing the cultural conversation around aging. A former attorney and founder of a legal search consultancy, she pivoted careers at 51 after realizing how little content reflected her own evolving midlife experience. She began freelancing for startups focused on the over-40 woman, and founded the “Patina” blog, now a Substack newsletter called Patina with Dina Aronson, where she explores topics in and around aging through her midlife lens. She is also a co-editor of Midlife Private Parts: Revealing Essays that Will Change the Way You Think About Age (Regalo Press), co-edited with Dina Alvarez, which is a soulful, unfiltered collection of stories that speak to what it really feels like to be a midlife woman in the world today. She sits on the governing board of the nonprofit America Needs You and on the influencer council of the nonprofit Uncommon Threads. She lives between New York and Miami with her husband and is the proud stepmother of two grown sons.
