Apparently when a woman hits 44, its the year she starts to think about the second half of her life. With perimenopause looming, breakdown of relationships, loss, grief, career changes, kids growing up, elderly relatives needing more support. It’s no wonder we feel lost, maybe angry and resentful. Of course there are also lots of lovely and exciting things happening too, but if like me you put yourself at the bottom of the list you’ve reached a point of burnout, not recognising who you are anymore, what you want, or who you want to be.

My journey started when I hit 40, newly separated and (re)learning who I was, what I wanted and quite frankly, how the hell I ended up where I had!

I started prioritising me, focusing on self-care, healing, being curious and excited for the next adventure. I invested in my personal and professional development and worked with some amazing coaches and therapists. I found my voice, rediscovered who I am and all I wanted to achieve. I took actions that previously I’d been afraid to do and I chose to be vulnerable, show up, and take action.

My coaches and mentors inspired me to use my talents and passions to trust in myself, recognise my worth and make the changes I wanted in my life.
