ABOUT FORMER HOTTIES CLUB

Former Hotties Club has transformed a simple phrase into a movement—and a shared identity—for thousands of women navigating midlife.

Former Hotties Club is a rapidly growing lifestyle brand and community for Gen X and Millennial women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife with humor, honesty, and zero judgment.

Founded by Kaurie DiBerardino, Former Hotties Club has become one of social media's fastest-growing communities where women proudly identify as Former Hotties.

What began as one funny post about needing a club for women who too felt their hotties days had slipped into the past, quickly became something much bigger.

Thousands of women started seeing themselves in the stories, the jokes, and the everyday realities of midlife. They weren't just laughing—they were finally feeling seen and understood.

Today, women across the country proudly refer to themselves as Former Hotties, transforming what could have been a difficult stage of life into one built on connection, confidence, and laughter.

Former Hotties Club exists to remind women that while life may look different than it did in their twenties, they're not losing themselves—they're simply entering a new chapter surrounded by women who truly get it.

More Than a Community. A New Identity for Midlife Women.

OUR MISSION

To help women laugh through one of life's biggest transitions while creating the most recognized lifestyle brand and community for women navigating midlife.

OUR VISION

To build the world's most recognized lifestyle brand for women navigating midlife—a place where every Former Hottie feels seen, understood, celebrated, and at home.

WHAT MAKES FORMER HOTTIES CLUB DIFFERENT

Most brands talk to women.

Former Hotties Club was built with women.

Every joke, every product, every conversation, and every tradition is rooted in the real experiences shared by the community itself.

Former Hotties Club isn't about pretending aging isn't happening—or trying to convince women they should look or feel 25 again. It's about helping women laugh through one of life's biggest transitions while creating a place where they finally feel understood.

More than a brand, Former Hotties Club has become a shared identity embraced by thousands of women who proudly call themselves Former Hotties.

That identity is what transformed followers into a community. Former Hotties Club isn't trying to help women become who they used to be. It's celebrating who they've become.

The Former Hottie Character

One of the things that makes Former Hotties Club so unique is its signature brand character.

Inspired by founder Kaurie DiBerardino's own experiences navigating midlife, the Former Hottie is a stylized, AI-assisted version of the founder that has become the recognizable face of the brand.

Rather than relying on traditional lifestyle photography, Kaurie combines her humor, storytelling, and creative direction with AI-assisted imagery to bring the everyday realities of midlife to life in a way that is instantly recognizable and highly relatable.

From hot flashes and brain fog to readers, iced coffee, oversized hoodies, and the signature Former Hottie shirt, the character captures the shared experiences of women navigating this stage of life with humor, honesty, and authenticity.

The result is a distinctive brand character that women don't simply laugh at—they recognize themselves in.

Instead, it centers around the Former Hottie—a fictional character inspired by founder Kaurie DiBerardino's own midlife experience and brought to life through her creative direction using AI-assisted visual design.

Women don't simply laugh at her.

They see themselves in her.

From hot flashes and brain fog to readers, iced coffee, oversized hoodies, and the signature Former Hottie shirt, the character captures the everyday realities of midlife with humor and authenticity.

The result is something rare: a fictional lifestyle character that has become the recognizable face of a real-world community embraced by thousands of women.

How the Former Hottie Shirt Was Born

Long before the Former Hottie shirt became a real product, it existed only as part of the Former Hottie character in my content.

The shirt wasn't for sale. It wasn't even intended to become a product.

But hundreds of women began saying,

OMG, I need that shirt.

Where can I buy it?

Please tell me you're selling these!

That's when I realized they weren't asking for another T-shirt.

They were asking for a way to proudly identify themselves as Former Hotties.

This signature t- shirt became the official uniform of a community that already existed- and today, women proudly wear it across the United States and internationally.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Kaurie DiBerardino is the founder of Former Hotties Club, a rapidly growing lifestyle brand and community helping Gen X and Millennial women navigate midlife with humor, honesty, and the reminder that they are never alone.

A biologist, physical therapist, and lifelong student of health and nutrition, Kaurie spent more than 20 years helping people heal before an unexpected career-ending back injury forced her to reinvent her own life.

During menopause and the transition to empty nesting, Kaurie began sharing humorous videos on Instagram as a creative outlet. On Mother's Day weekend in 2025, one of her videos unexpectedly reached more than one million people, launching what would become The Accidental Midlife Influencer. A year later, inspired by her own lived experience navigating midlife, she introduced a simple idea:

I think it's time Former Hotties began a club.

The response was immediate. What started as one carousel quickly became the Former Hotties Club. A rapidly growing lifestyle brand and community where thousands of women proudly identify themselves as Former Hotties—a lifestyle brand built on the belief that women don't have to navigate midlife alone.

Today, Kaurie lives in Florida with her husband, Paul, who was her ninth-grade prom date and their cat Louie. Together, they're enjoying life as empty nesters after raising their blended family.
