A driven and ambitious individual, Madeline firmly believes that anything worth achieving requires hard work and dedication. As a result, at the age of forty-nine, she holds a senior vice president position at a renowned bank, meticulously following a rigorous five-step nightly face cream routine and experiencing panic whenever she is more than a foot away from her phone. Working closely with her best friend, Emma, a talented multitasker who successfully manages her career, marriage, and parenting responsibilities for a fourteen-year-old daughter who communicates solely through acronyms, Madeline thrives in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Looking ahead, the future holds endless possibilities for both women. However, Madeline confronts a lingering sense of dissatisfaction and seeks a deeper meaning in her life. In an effort to address these habits she desires to change, she reluctantly agrees to explore unconventional practices such as yoga, meditation, and other suggestions offered by her new-agey therapist. She feels as if she is taking a risk, but in doing so, she opens the door to a world of possibilities that surpasses her wildest dreams.
