Maria Bello Instagram - And that’s a wrap for Jack Sloane @ncis_cbs !!! I’ve learned many things on this journey for the last three and a half years. I learned about commitment and community. I’ve learned that the woman I am enjoys process over product. I’ve never worked with a kinder, more generous group of people. I only had the privilege of standing by Dom’s side during cancer because my producers worked so hard to make sure I was there for every treatment. I made a speech today for our crew. Though in our business, like many, there are quite a few assholes - there is not one on the set of NCIS - in front of or behind the camera. Only a profoundly decent group of people who care more about each other and the world in general than what is in it for them. I understand why this show after 18 years is the most watched in the world - you must all feel our love. Keep watching. I have a feeling there will be many more years to come. Thank you to all of my pals at NCIS and to all of our fans. I am truly grateful.

Maria Bello Instagram - On 9/11 2001, I walked up 7th Avenue from the Village to the Upper West Side in a sea of people covered in gray dust. Some bled, some wept, but silently. Everything was strangely silent save for the wails of sirens and trudging of feet. People who did not know one another helped each other up the avenue. A beautiful man in a pink tutu now covered in gray holding steady the arm of a serious looking business man in broken glasses and a tattered suit. Police officers and Fire Fighters running bravely in the other direction towards the chaos. I was in the city with my then 6 month old baby, his father and my parents. When we saw the second plane hit on the television, my mother rushed to get to the scene. They were asking for any nurses or doctors to come downtown and as my mom was a nurse and I was the only one in the group who knew the neighborhood well we ran to the west side highway. We caught a ride on an ambulance to St Vincent’s Hospital, a few blocks from the bar I worked at a few years before and right near the fire station of my buddies at Engine 24, Ladder 5 who I bartended with. (I love you guys and your beautiful families if you are reading this) I will never forget their sacrifice. My sweet mother waited for two days for a mass of survivors who never came. She will not forget. And I will not forget walking up that avenue, breasts heavy with milk, trying desperately to get back to my boy, terrified another tragedy would happen at any minute. But what I remember most from that day and the weeks that followed was the deep goodness and humanity of people from all over the world. The folks who lined up on the West Side Highway cheering on the emergency workers and handing out fresh baked cookies. The news showing crowds from the UK to the Ukraine mourning with us and rooting for us. Heck, I even loved Mayor Giuliani and Bush for their steady leadership and compassion in those first weeks. We didn’t care for a minute who was a Republican or Democrat or who believed in what god or what law. There was love everywhere in the face of horrible destruction. Let’s not forget THAT. For a tiny moment - Love won in the world. 🙏❤️🙏❤️📸 @gulnara_nyc
Maria Bello Instagram - So I’ve decided to come back to instagram after a two year (meno)PAUSE. I went through the first half of menopause during Covid and tried everything to keep it at bay. I took bio-identical hormones (and still do), dieted harder and faster but still managed to gain 15 pounds, tried Ozempic for a week but gave up after the constant nausea and vomiting, got rid of the waddle on my neck, tried Botox, fillers and lasers, face creams, cellulite machines, face threads, teeth straightening and more. I did copious amounts of therapy, including micro-dosing psilocybin, left Hollywood and all social media and at the end of it all finally moved to Paris. That was October of 2021. I decided then to really delve into the PAUSE in menopause and to immerse myself in the 7 tasks of mid-life that Carl Jung spoke about. Jung said the mid-life point is marked by disillusionment and depression. He said to cross over successfully to the second half of life, one needed to complete these tasks. (More on that later). Now after finally coming out of my cocoon of self reflection, I want to share my journey over the last two years to accept my newly emerging self. I hope these posts will help anyone crossing over to the “second half of life” and inspire them not to avoid menopause but to embrace it. So here we go! #mariasmenopause #menopause #secondhalfoflife #thepause

Maria Bello Instagram - SONG OF THE SEA BY RAINER MARIE RILKE

“Timeless sea breezes,
sea-wind of the night:
you come for no one;
if someone should wake,
he must be prepared
how to survive you.” We will survive this folks. One day at a time... Sending love. 📸 @dominiquecrenn #whateverloveislove
Maria Bello Instagram - “Loneliness followed me everywhere I walked for many years. She wore red lipstick and swore in groups of people. But when the loneliness got too wide, I would go to nature to fill it.  Nature knows me. She takes me in all the way. I don’t think I’ve ever been taken in all the way before.” - UTB #natureknowsbest #breathe #whateverloveislove #incrennible
Maria Bello Instagram - Yes!!! Congratulations @beef_netflix_official @beherelater @aliwong Steven Yuen and the whole crew  for the golden globe awards! So proud to be apart of this amazing creation.
Maria Bello Instagram - Devastating. @globalempowermentmission This will take years to rebuild. 🙏
Maria Bello Instagram - Here’s me watching the speech I always dreamed of. A woman - @kamalaharris accepting the vice presidency. I believe in our democracy. I believe that America has always been great and will always strive to do better. Our children live what we model for them. We as Americans are global citizens.  We adhere to the principles of our constitution. I did not waiver when a president without my moral views won an election. Do me and America the same favor. I will say again - I do not care if you are Democrat or Republican. But respect our democracy. Why is it that every state our current president is fighting against are only states he lost in? We are a noble people. I believe that. We are a kind people. I believe that. Let us accept the will of the people. Stay strong America. Let’s have each other’s backs. No matter who you are, unless you are a complete asshole, let democracy take its course. And thank you @iamdeborahmartin for the most extraordinary cheese plate and company on a life changing evening. 😊 #bidenharris2020 won. So it is. So let’s go with that.

Maria Bello Instagram - Tonight season premiere of @ncis_cbs I love this guy so much! Enjoy.
Maria Bello Instagram - Task #1 of Jung’s 7 tasks of mid-life - 

Facing the reality of aging and dying. 

I’m on a lovely vacation with my family. I feel grounded and free here. AND YET.. my father fell last night in the senior home he is now living in and was sent to the hospital. My mother was, as always, by his side. But she couldn’t sleep with him in the hospital bed because she had to have some tests done this morning at 6am. She has cancer and has been going through treatment for a few months. I’m sure as always she will be fine. She’s a tough cookie. They also sold their house that they lived in for 60 years. AND YET… now in the second half of my life, I see, like ALL of us - our parents and people we care about getting closer to death. It’s inevitable. And I’m still enjoying it here on our vacation. I know I can’t stop them from aging. I know I can’t stop them from dying. 

In my PAUSE, I learned to accept this fact. It is, and was, bizarrely freeing. Try it. You’re brave enough to go there. Take your ten minutes everyday as you PAUSE and face the reality of this.  There is a gift waiting for you as you move through that point called Mid-Life and get to the other side.
Maria Bello Instagram - So in my PAUSE I also reevaluated my fashion. My usual uniform of jeans with a white button down or a black turtle neck are getting a little old. I still have a ribbed black turtleneck that I bought 22 years ago. Of course a little hole happens now and again at this point. (@lorytailer Thank you  for always patching it:). So I was inspired by the costume designer of BEEF @hellyhuang (who was also nominated for an Emmy!)when she added color and prints for my character, Jordan.  And I liked it shockingly. I liked it so much that i started to incorporate it into my own wardrobe. I liked how powerful and confident I felt in it. I still wear my uniform most days but in the PAUSE I realized I could embrace the change that comes with age and add another layer that I hadn’t even thought about in the first half of my life. I will never be in a half naked dress as many are wearing on the red carpet these days. They look hot as shit but at my age i don’t want to run around with my panties hanging out! 😂. Play with fashion. It’s fun to stretch in the PAUSE
Maria Bello Instagram - Love wins!
Maria Bello Instagram - Happy Pride! ❤️

Maria Bello Instagram - This is my friend. No...not Joe. This is Amy Baker. A star among stars. She died yesterday after a long and hard fought battle  with #breastcancer Amy took me into her closet the first time I met her. Literally, into her closet. We were at a fancy party in Sundance (which happened to be at her home) and we connected over our kids, and loves and life and shoes. She lit me up. Even in a room full of famous folks, Amy stood out with her steadiness, authenticity and pure joy. She was KIND. And made me feel i was ok and the world would be right. In that closet, we sat cross legged as she showed me her shoes. (I was bummed that I was a size nine and she was a ten, as she offered me every pair). She talked about her kids. And i talked about mine. “It’s hard loving so much “, I shared  and she agreed. “And worth it”, she offered. “And what is life but a loving of the truth? So the truth is - just love”. The last time i saw Amy, she was wearing a hilarious and inspiring baseball cap with fake hair on it as her head was completely bald. “We still want to look good, don’t we? “ she asked. And we laughed. I’m working on not forgetting in these challenging times, all of my history and guides who have gone before me. Realizing that some folks who cross our paths create indelible marks on our souls. God Bless all of those who have passed before us who have shown Us the most beautiful US. Merci Amy. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Maria Bello Instagram - One day to go... and I’ve been inspired by @rebeccasolnit book Hope in the Dark. Maybe you will be too. “Social, cultural or political change does not work in predictable ways or on predictable schedules....We don’t know what is going to happen, or how or when, and that very uncertainty is the space of hope”. Here is to HOPE for the goodness of the American people and for democracy. #letlovewin #vote
Maria Bello Instagram - We got this America. I’m voting for decency. For justice. For truth. For a future for my son where all are free to love who they love and humans are not judged for their religious beliefs, their incomes, the color of their skin or their fashion choices. I’m a dreamer who believes that we will do the right thing. I believe that 99% of us are kind and not complete assholes. Truth will prevail. I don’t like or respect liars. I don’t care if you are a republican or Democrat. Just vote. We got this. We really do. #vote - For the cool cap go to - http://Karanbradyinteriors.com
Maria Bello Instagram - She has a tendency to wander...Taking a break and sending love to all...
 “People who dream when they sleep at night know of a special kind of happiness which the world of the day holds not, a placid ecstasy, and ease of heart, that are like honey on the tongue. They also know that the real glory of dreams lies in their atmosphere of unlimited freedom. It is not the freedom of the dictator, who enforces his own will on the world, but the freedom of the artist, who has no will, who is free of will. The pleasure of the true dreamer does not lie in the substance of the dream, but in this: that there things happen without any interference from his side, and altogether outside his control. Great landscapes create themselves, long splendid views, rich and delicate colours, roads, houses, which he has never seen or heard of... “ - Karen Blixen
Maria Bello Instagram - Yep, this is AGING. The second photo was taken almost 30 years ago and the first one is now-ish. I hated this now-ish photo during my PAUSE and all of the photos of me with crinkled eyes, smoking lines on my lips and droopy lids. 

That’s all I saw—the imperfections.  I would compare photos Iike these—the old me and the new me, and of course it made me feel horrible about the new me. During my PAUSE I had to dig deep to look at my own judgement and ask, “Who taught me to hate aging? And why?”

Every housewife on tv was seemingly getting younger, so why was I looking older and older? 

And then, flaneusing around Paris one day, towards the end of my PAUSE, I came upon a Gertrude Stein exhibit. She wasn’t young or pretty in a conventional sense, yet she carried herself in the second half of life in a powerful way. 

Picasso painted her in this phase and so did Warhol among many because they saw what I saw when I looked at her—POWER. 

I thought about her face with its creases and carves and her smile that read—“I don’t give a damn,” then I looked at my own face in the mirror, I said out loud, “Own it”. Own your history and age and crinkles and power and POSSIBILITY. You’ve earned it. I said this on repeat whenever I wanted to judge my aging. And that helped get me through the PAUSE. Post your 30 years ago and you now. Own it. Tell me what you like about your new self. #midlifemidwife #secondhalfoflife

Maria Bello Instagram - So proud of this kid - Not only is he a thoughtful, curious, expansive artist but he’s becoming a hell of a chef too! #nationalsonsday #blessed #whateverloveislove
Maria Bello Instagram - 20 years ago today the beautiful soul from whom I was born held my hand as I birthed the most beautiful baby boy. I thought I could imagine then how he would grow to be brave and kind but these years he has surprised me ever more. There is a light and consciousness that glows in this Human that I think he gets from his Grammie. Passionately compassionate, wildly himself, a curious journeyman, my forever sweet son. I love You the most @jackson_mcd May Life always share with you it’s Grace. ❤️🙏
Maria Bello Instagram - Going into 2024 like… welcome to the second half of life! May this year be filled with much love and many blessings for you and those you love.
Maria Bello Instagram - Like many of you I am re-evaluating my relationship with all social media. There are many reasons, but the main one being it is now common knowledge that it is toxic for young girls. Perhaps I will be back after a deep dive but who knows. I appreciate every one of you. Funny being a liberal, progressive Hollywood Whatever, I have kind followers from both sides of the aisle. I honor you all so much for your kindness. Love always wins. I’m sure of that. #thanksjack #loveislove
Maria Bello Instagram - Happy birthday to the human I love the most. Jackson Blue - Je t’aimais, je t’aime, je t’aimerais ❤️

My naked child on the pebbles
The wind in your undone hair
Like a spring on my path
A diamond fallen from a box
Only the light could
Unravel our hidden shelters
Where, with my fingers wrapping your wrists
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
 
And whatever you do
Love is everywhere you look
In every corner of space
In every dream you linger in
Love pouring like rain
Naked on the pebbles
 
The sky pretends he knows you
He’s so beautiful, it must be true
He who never comes close
I saw him caught in your nets
 
The world is so filled with regrets
So many promises we make
Only one for which I was made
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
And whatever you do
Love is everywhere you look
In every corner of space
In every dream you linger in
Love pouring like rain
Naked on the pebbles
 
We’ll take off from the same platform
Our eyes in the same reflections
In this life and the one after that
You will be my only plan
 
I will go hang your portraits
On all the ceilings of all the palaces
On every wall I will find
And just below them, I will write
 
That only the light could…
 
And my fingers wrapping your wrists
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
- Francis Cabrel

Maria Bello Instagram - We will not know our full power until we know our full history. @lolosilvera @dominiquecrenn and I are making it our mission to bring you stories of the women who have impacted our world and the women who are impacting it today. Our voices, our ancestors, our heroines who have fought and are fighting for freedom deserve to be honored and recognized. Did you know that in 1916 in the Yucatán there was the first Feminist Congress where 700 women marched through the city of Merida to demand equal rights? We can’t wait to share with you all of the incredible stories of women all over the world. Happy International Women’s Day. Blessings to all of those fierce women who have paved the way.
Maria Bello Instagram - I’ve worked a lot in my 30 years as an actor. Some jobs have been creatively fulfilling and some have not been. Some have paid me and some have not. Some people I worked with were assholes and most pretty great. Some were trustworthy and forthright and some definitely were not. So in my PAUSE I decided in the second half of my life to only work on projects if they had great writing and a great team and I was paid properly. And only with people who I liked and trusted and would have fun with. Lo and behold - BEEF @beef_netflix_official dropped out of the sky and I was nominated with the show for an Emmy and a critics choice award for the very first time. Thanks to the brilliance of the creator Lee Sung Jin, @aliwong @joeyunlee @youngmazino @ashleyparklady Steven Yuen and the whole cast and crew, I was able to stay true to my mission. A mission that evolved in my PAUSE. What do you want your work life to look like in the second half? Having a clearly defined intention lead me to being part of something at midlife that I would have never expected. Link in my bio to the interview about my journey @goldderby
Maria Bello Instagram - Precious partner in crime - you light up even the darkest spaces and bring so much joy to the world. May all of you make someone else smile on this Valentine’s Day as @dominiquecrenn does everyday. Je t’aime. ❤️

Maria Bello Instagram - So this is cool. @people magazine did an interview about my PAUSE and my using Jung’s 7 steps for crossing over to the second half of life with grace and grit. Link in my bio. Let’s keep talking about this! Whatever gender you are we are all going through midlife or will eventually. #midlifemidwife
Maria Bello Instagram - Only in Paris do we take a stroll, pick up a warm baguette with manchego cheese and Iberico ham and sit in a park and be… 🇫🇷📸 @dominiquecrenn
Maria Bello Instagram - I took the PAUSE with the hope that I could find a more conscious way forward into the second half of my life. It is not lost on me how lucky I am that I had the opportunity to move to Paris as my partner @dominiquecrenn started a restaurant @goldenpoppy. I didn’t have much acting work so I was focusing on writing. But you take yourself with you wherever you go. As beautiful as Paris is, I found myself bereft at my changing mind and body at the beginning of my PAUSE. I felt static and confused and that was only intensified by my changing hormones and night sweats. Some days the only thing that could get me out of my funk was “flaneusing”. A Flaneur in France was historically a man who walked the city. The feminist word for a Flaneur is Flâneuse. I would find a destination, an hour or two from our house, and Flâneuse(or slowly walk)  my way there. I would pause at a cafe to have coffee or stop at music being played on a bridge. It worked almost every time. It’s important to get out of ourselves wherever we are. Whether that’s taking time to Flâneuse around our neighborhood, our mall or a city. It gave me time to reflect on how I defined my life and how I would redefine it in the second half. Slowly, I began to recreate my life...#mariasmenopause #secondhalfoflife #menopause

Maria Bello Instagram - Happy birthday to the most beautiful girl. @dominiquecrenn your light is astounding. 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Maria Bello Instagram - The renowned psychiatrist and artist, Carl Jung, helped me consciously enter the PAUSE with his theory of the 7 tasks for crossing over to the second half of life. His Red Book that @patriciaarquette bought me 20 years ago is still on my coffee table. 

I knew a little about Jung. I even had a Jungian therapist at one point for a few years. So when I was at my lowest - in the middle of my menopause before i took the conscious PAUSE - where I could barely smile or look at myself in a mirror - I discovered something of his that changed my whole experience. 

Jung had a theory about the second half of life. He ascertained that mid-life was just as important a transition as birth and death - a crossing over. But no one was talking about it. (And still aren’t). He saw in his clients a disappointment, disillusionment and depression for a few years when they were between the first half of life and the second half. 

So Jung came up with 7 tasks that people need to face in midlife to cross over like a badass as they move through the transition into the second half of life. 

Are you in the midst of crossing over?  Let’s talk about it. 

If you’re interested in buying a copy of The Red Book or any of Jung’s books, please consider shopping from an indie bookshop like I do w/ @harrietts_bookshop #mariasmenopause #midlifemidwife #midlifemidwives

Maria Bello Instagram - LA Fires Update….

Due to the scale of destruction from the multiple fires that have ravaged Los Angeles, @globalempowermentmission Bstrong is opening a second west coast branch in LA. 

This warehouse will be fully functional with racking, proper systems and aid this week. 

This branch is a long term recovery hub that will be solely focused on executing our multiple proven programs that we will implement in LA.  Our HQ in Miami, as well as our North California branch have already deployed over 20 full size semi trucks of vital aid to this hub. This will continue on an ongoing basis till needs are met. 

Thank you @officialmariabello & @dominiquecrenn for finding us a home in LA. We will be here for the long haul. We are initially committing to 10 M is supplies and Bstrong cash cards. Once this emergency phase is over, our focus will be short term housing support, clean up and rebuild.

Maria Bello Instagram - During my PAUSE I was travelling and unraveling the first half of my life and coming to terms with where I had put my energy. 

This time last year I went on a pilgrimage to the country of Benin to meet the real Woman King. I was deep in my PAUSE and felt a calling. I didn’t know why the story of the film The Woman King came through me. It was a long hard road getting that film made and in the end I did not have the capacity to see it through. I spent so much time and energy to get it to the screen but it felt as if it didn’t love me back. I left Hollywood disillusioned. But it was such a big part of the last ten years of my life so how could I come full circle? That’s when I decided to go with a friend to Benin to pay homage to the real woman king. And there she sat so regally, inviting us into her home to tell us the stories of her ancestors - The warriors who had gone before her and the first woman king whose spirit was passed down for generations and now resided in her. And she told me what I didn’t quite believe then - that I was a warrior as well. And that I would rise. I cried as she blessed my son and told me that the ancestors would keep my family safe. I came out of it letting go even more of a chapter of my life and career. I felt hope for the first time in a very long time. I felt the possibility that I could one day be a warrior rising from the ashes again.

Maria Bello Instagram - Another turn around the sun. 57 is looking ok. @dominiquecrenn and my friends and family made it really special. I’m so grateful to be loved. I also made some intentions today about what I want the next year to be like. We think about these things more often as we age I suppose. What do I want to create this year that I didn’t create in the first half? I learned from @kristinhannahauthor that you have more brain space and experience in the second half of life so you can do even more, create more and appreciate the small moments more. That’s what I’m going for this year. 😊
Maria Bello Instagram - It is truly heartbreaking to see the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan being stripped away once again. Please continue to support the brave women activists of the country. These organizations have been working there for many years and will continue to make an impact. @vitalvoices @womenforwomen 🙏
Maria Bello - 36.9K Likes - And that’s a wrap for Jack Sloane @ncis_cbs !!! I’ve learned many things on this journey for the last three and a half years. I learned about commitment and community. I’ve learned that the woman I am enjoys process over product. I’ve never worked with a kinder, more generous group of people. I only had the privilege of standing by Dom’s side during cancer because my producers worked so hard to make sure I was there for every treatment. I made a speech today for our crew. Though in our business, like many, there are quite a few assholes - there is not one on the set of NCIS - in front of or behind the camera. Only a profoundly decent group of people who care more about each other and the world in general than what is in it for them. I understand why this show after 18 years is the most watched in the world - you must all feel our love. Keep watching. I have a feeling there will be many more years to come. Thank you to all of my pals at NCIS and to all of our fans. I am truly grateful.

Maria Bello - 36.9K Likes - And that’s a wrap for Jack Sloane @ncis_cbs !!! I’ve learned many things on this journey for the last three and a half years. I learned about commitment and community. I’ve learned that the woman I am enjoys process over product. I’ve never worked with a kinder, more generous group of people. I only had the privilege of standing by Dom’s side during cancer because my producers worked so hard to make sure I was there for every treatment. I made a speech today for our crew. Though in our business, like many, there are quite a few assholes - there is not one on the set of NCIS - in front of or behind the camera. Only a profoundly decent group of people who care more about each other and the world in general than what is in it for them. I understand why this show after 18 years is the most watched in the world - you must all feel our love. Keep watching. I have a feeling there will be many more years to come. Thank you to all of my pals at NCIS and to all of our fans. I am truly grateful.

Maria Bello - 17.5K Likes - On 9/11 2001, I walked up 7th Avenue from the Village to the Upper West Side in a sea of people covered in gray dust. Some bled, some wept, but silently. Everything was strangely silent save for the wails of sirens and trudging of feet. People who did not know one another helped each other up the avenue. A beautiful man in a pink tutu now covered in gray holding steady the arm of a serious looking business man in broken glasses and a tattered suit. Police officers and Fire Fighters running bravely in the other direction towards the chaos. I was in the city with my then 6 month old baby, his father and my parents. When we saw the second plane hit on the television, my mother rushed to get to the scene. They were asking for any nurses or doctors to come downtown and as my mom was a nurse and I was the only one in the group who knew the neighborhood well we ran to the west side highway. We caught a ride on an ambulance to St Vincent’s Hospital, a few blocks from the bar I worked at a few years before and right near the fire station of my buddies at Engine 24, Ladder 5 who I bartended with. (I love you guys and your beautiful families if you are reading this) I will never forget their sacrifice. My sweet mother waited for two days for a mass of survivors who never came. She will not forget. And I will not forget walking up that avenue, breasts heavy with milk, trying desperately to get back to my boy, terrified another tragedy would happen at any minute. But what I remember most from that day and the weeks that followed was the deep goodness and humanity of people from all over the world. The folks who lined up on the West Side Highway cheering on the emergency workers and handing out fresh baked cookies. The news showing crowds from the UK to the Ukraine mourning with us and rooting for us. Heck, I even loved Mayor Giuliani and Bush for their steady leadership and compassion in those first weeks. We didn’t care for a minute who was a Republican or Democrat or who believed in what god or what law. There was love everywhere in the face of horrible destruction. Let’s not forget THAT. For a tiny moment - Love won in the world. 🙏❤️🙏❤️📸 @gulnara_nyc

Maria Bello - 16.1K Likes - So I’ve decided to come back to instagram after a two year (meno)PAUSE. I went through the first half of menopause during Covid and tried everything to keep it at bay. I took bio-identical hormones (and still do), dieted harder and faster but still managed to gain 15 pounds, tried Ozempic for a week but gave up after the constant nausea and vomiting, got rid of the waddle on my neck, tried Botox, fillers and lasers, face creams, cellulite machines, face threads, teeth straightening and more. I did copious amounts of therapy, including micro-dosing psilocybin, left Hollywood and all social media and at the end of it all finally moved to Paris. That was October of 2021. I decided then to really delve into the PAUSE in menopause and to immerse myself in the 7 tasks of mid-life that Carl Jung spoke about. Jung said the mid-life point is marked by disillusionment and depression. He said to cross over successfully to the second half of life, one needed to complete these tasks. (More on that later). Now after finally coming out of my cocoon of self reflection, I want to share my journey over the last two years to accept my newly emerging self. I hope these posts will help anyone crossing over to the “second half of life” and inspire them not to avoid menopause but to embrace it. So here we go! #mariasmenopause #menopause #secondhalfoflife #thepause

I believe that America has always been great and will always strive to do better. Our children live what we model for them. We as Americans are global citizens.  We adhere to the principles of our constitution. I did not waiver when a president without my moral views won an election. Do me and America the same favor. I will say again - I do not care if you are Democrat or Republican. But respect our democracy. Why is it that every state our current president is fighting against are only states he lost in? We are a noble people. I believe that. We are a kind people. I believe that. Let us accept the will of the people. Stay strong America. Let’s have each other’s backs. No matter who you are, unless you are a complete asshole, let democracy take its course. And thank you @iamdeborahmartin for the most extraordinary cheese plate and company on a life changing evening. 😊 #bidenharris2020 won. So it is. So let’s go with that.

Maria Bello - 11.6K Likes - Task #1 of Jung’s 7 tasks of mid-life - 

Facing the reality of aging and dying. 

I’m on a lovely vacation with my family. I feel grounded and free here. AND YET.. my father fell last night in the senior home he is now living in and was sent to the hospital. My mother was, as always, by his side. But she couldn’t sleep with him in the hospital bed because she had to have some tests done this morning at 6am. She has cancer and has been going through treatment for a few months. I’m sure as always she will be fine. She’s a tough cookie. They also sold their house that they lived in for 60 years. AND YET… now in the second half of my life, I see, like ALL of us - our parents and people we care about getting closer to death. It’s inevitable. And I’m still enjoying it here on our vacation. I know I can’t stop them from aging. I know I can’t stop them from dying. 

In my PAUSE, I learned to accept this fact. It is, and was, bizarrely freeing. Try it. You’re brave enough to go there. Take your ten minutes everyday as you PAUSE and face the reality of this.  There is a gift waiting for you as you move through that point called Mid-Life and get to the other side.

Maria Bello - 11.5K Likes - So in my PAUSE I also reevaluated my fashion. My usual uniform of jeans with a white button down or a black turtle neck are getting a little old. I still have a ribbed black turtleneck that I bought 22 years ago. Of course a little hole happens now and again at this point. (@lorytailer Thank you  for always patching it:). So I was inspired by the costume designer of BEEF @hellyhuang (who was also nominated for an Emmy!)when she added color and prints for my character, Jordan.  And I liked it shockingly. I liked it so much that i started to incorporate it into my own wardrobe. I liked how powerful and confident I felt in it. I still wear my uniform most days but in the PAUSE I realized I could embrace the change that comes with age and add another layer that I hadn’t even thought about in the first half of my life. I will never be in a half naked dress as many are wearing on the red carpet these days. They look hot as shit but at my age i don’t want to run around with my panties hanging out! 😂. Play with fashion. It’s fun to stretch in the PAUSE

Maria Bello - 10.6K Likes - This is my friend. No...not Joe. This is Amy Baker. A star among stars. She died yesterday after a long and hard fought battle  with #breastcancer Amy took me into her closet the first time I met her. Literally, into her closet. We were at a fancy party in Sundance (which happened to be at her home) and we connected over our kids, and loves and life and shoes. She lit me up. Even in a room full of famous folks, Amy stood out with her steadiness, authenticity and pure joy. She was KIND. And made me feel i was ok and the world would be right. In that closet, we sat cross legged as she showed me her shoes. (I was bummed that I was a size nine and she was a ten, as she offered me every pair). She talked about her kids. And i talked about mine. “It’s hard loving so much “, I shared  and she agreed. “And worth it”, she offered. “And what is life but a loving of the truth? So the truth is - just love”. The last time i saw Amy, she was wearing a hilarious and inspiring baseball cap with fake hair on it as her head was completely bald. “We still want to look good, don’t we? “ she asked. And we laughed. I’m working on not forgetting in these challenging times, all of my history and guides who have gone before me. Realizing that some folks who cross our paths create indelible marks on our souls. God Bless all of those who have passed before us who have shown Us the most beautiful US. Merci Amy. ❤️🙏❤️🙏

She died yesterday after a long and hard fought battle with #breastcancer Amy took me into her closet the first time I met her. Literally, into her closet. We were at a fancy party in Sundance (which happened to be at her home) and we connected over our kids, and loves and life and shoes. She lit me up. Even in a room full of famous folks, Amy stood out with her steadiness, authenticity and pure joy. She was KIND. And made me feel i was ok and the world would be right. In that closet, we sat cross legged as she showed me her shoes. (I was bummed that I was a size nine and she was a ten, as she offered me every pair). She talked about her kids. And i talked about mine. “It’s hard loving so much “, I shared and she agreed. “And worth it”, she offered. “And what is life but a loving of the truth? So the truth is – just love”. The last time i saw Amy, she was wearing a hilarious and inspiring baseball cap with fake hair on it as her head was completely bald. “We still want to look good, don’t we? “ she asked. And we laughed. I’m working on not forgetting in these challenging times, all of my history and guides who have gone before me. Realizing that some folks who cross our paths create indelible marks on our souls. God Bless all of those who have passed before us who have shown Us the most beautiful US. Merci Amy. ❤️🙏❤️🙏

Maria Bello - 10.1K Likes - One day to go... and I’ve been inspired by @rebeccasolnit book Hope in the Dark. Maybe you will be too. “Social, cultural or political change does not work in predictable ways or on predictable schedules....We don’t know what is going to happen, or how or when, and that very uncertainty is the space of hope”. Here is to HOPE for the goodness of the American people and for democracy. #letlovewin #vote

For a future for my son where all are free to love who they love and humans are not judged for their religious beliefs, their incomes, the color of their skin or their fashion choices. I’m a dreamer who believes that we will do the right thing. I believe that 99% of us are kind and not complete assholes. Truth will prevail. I don’t like or respect liars. I don’t care if you are a republican or Democrat. Just vote. We got this. We really do. #vote - For the cool cap go to - http://Karanbradyinteriors.com

Maria Bello - 9.8K Likes - She has a tendency to wander...Taking a break and sending love to all...
 “People who dream when they sleep at night know of a special kind of happiness which the world of the day holds not, a placid ecstasy, and ease of heart, that are like honey on the tongue. They also know that the real glory of dreams lies in their atmosphere of unlimited freedom. It is not the freedom of the dictator, who enforces his own will on the world, but the freedom of the artist, who has no will, who is free of will. The pleasure of the true dreamer does not lie in the substance of the dream, but in this: that there things happen without any interference from his side, and altogether outside his control. Great landscapes create themselves, long splendid views, rich and delicate colours, roads, houses, which he has never seen or heard of... “ - Karen Blixen

Maria Bello - 9.6K Likes - Yep, this is AGING. The second photo was taken almost 30 years ago and the first one is now-ish. I hated this now-ish photo during my PAUSE and all of the photos of me with crinkled eyes, smoking lines on my lips and droopy lids. 

That’s all I saw—the imperfections.  I would compare photos Iike these—the old me and the new me, and of course it made me feel horrible about the new me. During my PAUSE I had to dig deep to look at my own judgement and ask, “Who taught me to hate aging? And why?”

Every housewife on tv was seemingly getting younger, so why was I looking older and older? 

And then, flaneusing around Paris one day, towards the end of my PAUSE, I came upon a Gertrude Stein exhibit. She wasn’t young or pretty in a conventional sense, yet she carried herself in the second half of life in a powerful way. 

Picasso painted her in this phase and so did Warhol among many because they saw what I saw when I looked at her—POWER. 

I thought about her face with its creases and carves and her smile that read—“I don’t give a damn,” then I looked at my own face in the mirror, I said out loud, “Own it”. Own your history and age and crinkles and power and POSSIBILITY. You’ve earned it. I said this on repeat whenever I wanted to judge my aging. And that helped get me through the PAUSE. Post your 30 years ago and you now. Own it. Tell me what you like about your new self. #midlifemidwife #secondhalfoflife

Maria Bello - 9.4K Likes - 20 years ago today the beautiful soul from whom I was born held my hand as I birthed the most beautiful baby boy. I thought I could imagine then how he would grow to be brave and kind but these years he has surprised me ever more. There is a light and consciousness that glows in this Human that I think he gets from his Grammie. Passionately compassionate, wildly himself, a curious journeyman, my forever sweet son. I love You the most @jackson_mcd May Life always share with you it’s Grace. ❤️🙏

Maria Bello - 9K Likes - Like many of you I am re-evaluating my relationship with all social media. There are many reasons, but the main one being it is now common knowledge that it is toxic for young girls. Perhaps I will be back after a deep dive but who knows. I appreciate every one of you. Funny being a liberal, progressive Hollywood Whatever, I have kind followers from both sides of the aisle. I honor you all so much for your kindness. Love always wins. I’m sure of that. #thanksjack #loveislove

My naked child on the pebbles
The wind in your undone hair
Like a spring on my path
A diamond fallen from a box
Only the light could
Unravel our hidden shelters
Where, with my fingers wrapping your wrists
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
 
And whatever you do
Love is everywhere you look
In every corner of space
In every dream you linger in
Love pouring like rain
Naked on the pebbles
 
The sky pretends he knows you
He’s so beautiful, it must be true
He who never comes close
I saw him caught in your nets
 
The world is so filled with regrets
So many promises we make
Only one for which I was made
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
And whatever you do
Love is everywhere you look
In every corner of space
In every dream you linger in
Love pouring like rain
Naked on the pebbles
 
We’ll take off from the same platform
Our eyes in the same reflections
In this life and the one after that
You will be my only plan
 
I will go hang your portraits
On all the ceilings of all the palaces
On every wall I will find
And just below them, I will write
 
That only the light could…
 
And my fingers wrapping your wrists
I loved you, I love you, and I will love you
- Francis Cabrel

Maria Bello - 8.2K Likes - We will not know our full power until we know our full history. @lolosilvera @dominiquecrenn and I are making it our mission to bring you stories of the women who have impacted our world and the women who are impacting it today. Our voices, our ancestors, our heroines who have fought and are fighting for freedom deserve to be honored and recognized. Did you know that in 1916 in the Yucatán there was the first Feminist Congress where 700 women marched through the city of Merida to demand equal rights? We can’t wait to share with you all of the incredible stories of women all over the world. Happy International Women’s Day. Blessings to all of those fierce women who have paved the way.

Maria Bello - 7.7K Likes - I’ve worked a lot in my 30 years as an actor. Some jobs have been creatively fulfilling and some have not been. Some have paid me and some have not. Some people I worked with were assholes and most pretty great. Some were trustworthy and forthright and some definitely were not. So in my PAUSE I decided in the second half of my life to only work on projects if they had great writing and a great team and I was paid properly. And only with people who I liked and trusted and would have fun with. Lo and behold - BEEF @beef_netflix_official dropped out of the sky and I was nominated with the show for an Emmy and a critics choice award for the very first time. Thanks to the brilliance of the creator Lee Sung Jin, @aliwong @joeyunlee @youngmazino @ashleyparklady Steven Yuen and the whole cast and crew, I was able to stay true to my mission. A mission that evolved in my PAUSE. What do you want your work life to look like in the second half? Having a clearly defined intention lead me to being part of something at midlife that I would have never expected. Link in my bio to the interview about my journey @goldderby

Maria Bello - 6.6K Likes - I took the PAUSE with the hope that I could find a more conscious way forward into the second half of my life. It is not lost on me how lucky I am that I had the opportunity to move to Paris as my partner @dominiquecrenn started a restaurant @goldenpoppy. I didn’t have much acting work so I was focusing on writing. But you take yourself with you wherever you go. As beautiful as Paris is, I found myself bereft at my changing mind and body at the beginning of my PAUSE. I felt static and confused and that was only intensified by my changing hormones and night sweats. Some days the only thing that could get me out of my funk was “flaneusing”. A Flaneur in France was historically a man who walked the city. The feminist word for a Flaneur is Flâneuse. I would find a destination, an hour or two from our house, and Flâneuse(or slowly walk)  my way there. I would pause at a cafe to have coffee or stop at music being played on a bridge. It worked almost every time. It’s important to get out of ourselves wherever we are. Whether that’s taking time to Flâneuse around our neighborhood, our mall or a city. It gave me time to reflect on how I defined my life and how I would redefine it in the second half. Slowly, I began to recreate my life...#mariasmenopause #secondhalfoflife #menopause

Maria Bello - 6.5K Likes - The renowned psychiatrist and artist, Carl Jung, helped me consciously enter the PAUSE with his theory of the 7 tasks for crossing over to the second half of life. His Red Book that @patriciaarquette bought me 20 years ago is still on my coffee table. 

I knew a little about Jung. I even had a Jungian therapist at one point for a few years. So when I was at my lowest - in the middle of my menopause before i took the conscious PAUSE - where I could barely smile or look at myself in a mirror - I discovered something of his that changed my whole experience. 

Jung had a theory about the second half of life. He ascertained that mid-life was just as important a transition as birth and death - a crossing over. But no one was talking about it. (And still aren’t). He saw in his clients a disappointment, disillusionment and depression for a few years when they were between the first half of life and the second half. 

So Jung came up with 7 tasks that people need to face in midlife to cross over like a badass as they move through the transition into the second half of life. 

Are you in the midst of crossing over?  Let’s talk about it. 

If you’re interested in buying a copy of The Red Book or any of Jung’s books, please consider shopping from an indie bookshop like I do w/ @harrietts_bookshop #mariasmenopause #midlifemidwife #midlifemidwives

Maria Bello - 5.6K Likes - LA Fires Update….

Due to the scale of destruction from the multiple fires that have ravaged Los Angeles, @globalempowermentmission Bstrong is opening a second west coast branch in LA. 

This warehouse will be fully functional with racking, proper systems and aid this week. 

This branch is a long term recovery hub that will be solely focused on executing our multiple proven programs that we will implement in LA.  Our HQ in Miami, as well as our North California branch have already deployed over 20 full size semi trucks of vital aid to this hub. This will continue on an ongoing basis till needs are met. 

Thank you @officialmariabello & @dominiquecrenn for finding us a home in LA. We will be here for the long haul. We are initially committing to 10 M is supplies and Bstrong cash cards. Once this emergency phase is over, our focus will be short term housing support, clean up and rebuild.

Maria Bello - 5.3K Likes - During my PAUSE I was travelling and unraveling the first half of my life and coming to terms with where I had put my energy. 

This time last year I went on a pilgrimage to the country of Benin to meet the real Woman King. I was deep in my PAUSE and felt a calling. I didn’t know why the story of the film The Woman King came through me. It was a long hard road getting that film made and in the end I did not have the capacity to see it through. I spent so much time and energy to get it to the screen but it felt as if it didn’t love me back. I left Hollywood disillusioned. But it was such a big part of the last ten years of my life so how could I come full circle? That’s when I decided to go with a friend to Benin to pay homage to the real woman king. And there she sat so regally, inviting us into her home to tell us the stories of her ancestors - The warriors who had gone before her and the first woman king whose spirit was passed down for generations and now resided in her. And she told me what I didn’t quite believe then - that I was a warrior as well. And that I would rise. I cried as she blessed my son and told me that the ancestors would keep my family safe. I came out of it letting go even more of a chapter of my life and career. I felt hope for the first time in a very long time. I felt the possibility that I could one day be a warrior rising from the ashes again.

I also made some intentions today about what I want the next year to be like. We think about these things more often as we age I suppose. What do I want to create this year that I didn’t create in the first half? I learned from @kristinhannahauthor that you have more brain space and experience in the second half of life so you can do even more, create more and appreciate the small moments more. That’s what I’m going for this year. 😊
