Ashley Judd is living her best life at 58.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, June 11, Judd shared a video of herself splashing about in the water as she embraced her midlife era.
The post was titled, “We Don’t Care Club: Baltic Sea Edition.” The caption was a nod to the “We Do Not Care Club,” the social media movement created by Melani Sanders, which encourages women to lean into their later years.
“This installment is a healing tonic for a grave condition that often plagues adults and the overly serious: ‘Know-It-All-itis,’ ” Judd wrote in the caption.
The actress also made jokes as she frolicked in the sea. “The good news is when it’s shallow you don’t get as much sand in your crotch,” she quipped.
At another point in the video, Judd picked up seaweed, which she called “salad” before shaping it into a crown and describing herself as a “lady of the sea.”
Followers praised Judd’s enthusiastic spirit in the comments section.
“Physical beauty is obvious, you are so radiant and natural, however it’s your childlike happy spirit that is shining! A real mermaid! 🧜♀️ Fierce and gentle and of the sea. 🌊” wrote one follower.
Another added, “You are a ray of sunshine in a dark place.”
Judd has previously uploaded videos as part of the “We Don’t Care Club” movement.
“Hi, I’m Ashley and I’m a member of the We Don’t Care Club,” she declared in a July 2025 post. “Sometimes when I wear a swimsuit, I get a little chafing, like right down there, so I put on cornstarch. Good trick if you don’t know it already.”
After showing off a non-stinging type of jellyfish in her hands, Judd placed the sea creature back into the water and said she was “picking my crotch and I don’t care.”
She told fans about her “MSU Club,” or “Make Stuff Up Club,” and said that as a “postmenopausal woman, I don’t care if you don’t like the MSU Club.”
In a June 2025 Instagram post, Judd candidly opened up about being “post-menopausal since 2018.”
“And super comfortable with that. Peri, menopause, and post-menopause is human biology and medically accurate,” she wrote. “Sex education is essential. I am rejoicing in @justbeingmelani un muzzling of peri/post/menopausal expression and her inviting in all kinds of women to liberate their ‘I don’t cares!’ We are enough, we do enough, it is enough. It is okay, we are okay. It is human biology. Fact and true. To all my menopausal ladies out there, what are your don’t cares?!”
