When my strength broke open ...

Hey Reader I didn’t realise how weak I’d become until the day I tried to pull a heavy box from the top shelf. Nothing dramatic happened, it didn’t fall, I didn’t fall, but the strain that shot through my shoulder felt like a warning flare. And as I stood there, staring at the box, a truth washed over me: my strength wasn’t just fading physically… it was slipping mentally too. Menopause had crept into my life quietly, draining muscle, shifting balance, lowering energy. I didn’t know then that...

Who bought in the Quality Street??

Hey Reader I recently wrote a post on LinkedIn about managing those pesky cravings at Christmas. I had several ladies messaging me, to thank me for addressing this, and I felt I should share this with you if you're not a LinkedIn user or if you haven't seen it. So please read on, there's no right or wrong, just a few subtle tips to help you during this time of year. How do you cope with cravings at Christmas when you’re over 50, and everyone is dangerously dangling treats under your...

Why the term "Midlife" has FALLEN out of Vogue and now feels like Finger Nails on a Blackboard

Hey Reader Why has the term "Midlife" fallen out of Vogue. No I don't mean the glossy magazine. I was at a Women's Wellness event last week and I was intrigued to understand how woman today feel about the term "Midlife", do they still find it fitting for todays society, or does it grate on them like fingers on a blackboard. (Sorry if that's just made you go all goosebumpy) Based on my research, and from some of the conversations in the room, here's what's happening with the term "Midlife" and...

A moment I didn’t expect .......

Hey Reader this caught me off guard today. I’m sat here in a local Rugby Club, Club House, not for a pint, i'm waiting to give blood. It’s quiet except for the soft beeps of the machine behind me, the kind of sound that makes you slow down whether you meant to or not. And then the radio starts playing “Bringing On Back the Good Times.” I actually laughed under my breath.Of all the songs.Of all the moments. But the more I listened, the more it landed with me. I’m here giving something that...

The moment I just… let it go

Hey Reader When surrender teaches you more than effort ever does, Reader It always happens on the one morning you’re not mentally prepared for life. There I was in the shower, not a quick rinse, not a functional wash, but a full hair-saturated, shampoo-foaming, face-mask-dripping moment of peace I’d somehow managed to steal for myself. You know that rare kind of peace…The kind you almost don’t trust.The kind you try not to breathe too deeply into, just in case life notices and snatches it...

When the roof starts leaking

Hey Reader When the rain won’t stop! I hope you've got your brolly with you today! It's certainly one of those days where the weather feels like a personal attack? Grey skies. Endless rain.And then… the drip. At first, you tell yourself it’s nothing.A tiny leak. Probably just a loose tile.You grab a towel, shove a bowl underneath, and hope it behaves until tomorrow. But then you hear it again. Another drip, then another. You realise it’s not going to fix itself, and it’s definitely going to...

What I learned under the lights

Hey Reader, this one's for you. I still remember the first time I walked into that gym, staring at the rows of weights and thinking. What am I doing here? I didn’t look like a bodybuilder.I didn’t feel like one either. I was just a woman in her mid 40's searching for something, a spark, a challenge, a way to feel alive again. But somewhere between those first shaky reps, the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and my first competition prep, the real battle began. Not with the weights, but...

Why Workplace Anxiety Is So Common for Women and How to Take Back Control

Hey Reader Hello October! It's certainly getting wiggle on....... Let’s talk about something many women quietly struggle with, anxiety at work. I know I did when I had my Corporate career. You might look calm and capable on the outside, but inside, your mind is racing. You’re overthinking that meeting from yesterday, second-guessing your last email, or lying awake at night replaying conversations in your head. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Research shows that women are almost twice as...

Your Life Evolution Emergency Kit is ready

Hey Reader Step into the Life you Deserve From the outside, you look like you’ve got it all together. A successful career, a family that depends on you, a diary that’s always full. People call you “accomplished,” and they’re right. But here’s the thing you rarely say out loud… Somewhere along the way, the woman who once felt excited, clear, and full of possibility has started to fade. Instead of living, you’re surviving. Instead of thriving, you’re ticking boxes. And inside, you’re quietly...
