I turned 50 yesterday 🎂 One year ago, on my 49th birthday, I woke up in a full-blown panic. My head had been firmly in the sand and I had no real sense of whether Future Me was going to be OK. So I did something uncomfortable: I looked. Properly 👀 And I’m in a significantly better place now than I was just one year ago. Over the last year, here are the five things that made the biggest difference: 1️⃣ I examined my money mindset — the stories, shame, and avoidance I’d absorbed 2️⃣ I got clear on my actual numbers (messy, imperfect, but real) 3️⃣ I learnt a bit about investing — because I had never been taught 4️⃣ I built an emergency fund, so I stopped yo-yoing in and out of stress and debt 5️⃣ I started paying myself first — because no one else was going to look after future me None of this required being “good with money.” I just needed to get educated and get started. Midlife is NOT too late to sort your finances out, it's actually a powerful moment to take control - with more wisdom and more perspective. I have a community for women who want 2026 to be the year money stops being a source of anxiety and starts becoming a source of safety. Come join us!

I’ve been asked why I limit the posting in this group to once a day, and the answer is for the same reason that I limit how much I personally post in this group each day (I try really hard to limit myself to 2!)…. It’s to protect your visibility. The goal of this group is to help you become as visible as possible. If people are able to post as often as they want, one person could easily clog the feed with their own posts and push everyone else down to lower pages. By limiting everyone to one post a day, everyone gets time on the first page, the quality of the posts goes up, and the overall feel is more conversational and less spammy. Thoughts???

Nope. Hard stop. This idea needs to be retired with low rise jeans. WAIT... I like low rise jeans...bahahaha! Here’s the truth: Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a clarifier. We’re not falling apart, we’re waking up. We’re shedding old roles, old expectations, and old emotional baggage we never signed up to carry. Midlife doesn’t break us. It shows us who we actually are. Women in midlife aren’t fragile. We’re powerful, aware, honest, and done pretending everything is fine when it isn’t. If anything, this is the moment in life when we finally get to rebuild on our own terms—with clarity, courage, and a whole lot less people pleasing. If this speaks to you, come hang out in my Courage Collective. We’re building a community where midlife women rise together, without fixing, forcing, or faking anything.

The Myth: People feel guilty for being tired, overwhelmed, or touched-out during the holidays because they “should be grateful.” The Truth: Gratitude doesn’t replace exhaustion. Gratitude doesn’t regulate your nervous system. Gratitude doesn’t carry the emotional or invisible load. You can be grateful and overwhelmed. You can love your family and need a break. You can cherish the season and want silence. Your nervous system doesn’t care about holiday expectations — it cares about capacity. If you want a space that honors the complexity of being human in this season, I’d love to welcome you into the Sanctuary. 👉Soul Growth Circle 💜🕯️

Myth: Personal growth has to be deep, serious, and emotionally draining. Reconnecting with yourself requires constant, heavy inner work and endless self-analysis. It’s serious business! Truth: Reconnecting with your authenticity shouldn’t feel like homework, it should feel like coming home. Easy and natural! Personal growth can feel light, playful, and creative. Connection can happen through community and laughter, and those light bulb moments of ‘Ahh, this feels like the ‘ME’ that I remember’. Bottom Line: Life coaching doesn’t have to be formal, OR serious. it can happen in a space where you breathe again, explore again, and feel you again. Want to find out how women can step into their authentic selves in a fun, relaxed and community focused way? I’d love for you to pop over and see us at Soulfully Authentic!🤩
