When women come together incredible things happen.

From some of the women I work with, to subscribers and yes you lovely followers tell me you feel lonely & disconnected as the kids no longer need you. You may be isolated in caring roles or the jobs that no longer hold meaning and take too much of your precious time.

But do you know that all over the world women like you want to make friends with other women like you.

I know it’s not easy to make connections and friends in this phase of our lives, but it is definitely so possible. Some of you know my story. I didn’t know any of these women above just a few years ago.

Feeling socially connected is so important for our health and wellbeing as studies show that loneliness can be so detrimental.

So where do you begin?

Look at local groups. I’ve made so many new friends playing pickleball & I meet with other women every morning in our local to go in the sea.

Perhaps you want to volunteer or do something for charity? You will meet someone there who has the same values as you.

There are other women who have the same hobbies, interests or activities as you. From book clubs to choirs to crafting to coldwater swims…there are so many things to connect you with other like-minded people.

Fun fact I once tried ukulele, but I was totally s**t 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 but it was hilarious and we had such a laugh.

One small decision could change the whole trajectory of your life be brave go for it 👭

Just checking you haven’t given up on you.

✨I’m here to tell you it’s not too late for you. Im a i’m a life coach for women perhaps like you in midlife & beyond.

✨So many women I talk to in their midlife years wonder who they are now that their kids are leaving home.
Or the careers that no longer hold the same meaning... or the gaps in relationships & friendships that the emptiness within can expose & underline.

✨As a client said to me recently “I was just on a slow side to retirement & feeling old until I realised there was so much more living to do”.

✨I know how that feels & over the last few years I’ve had my own midlife reawakening & believe me some of your happiest days & memories are still ahead of you.

✨If you are wondering how…this is what I love to help women to do. It’s NEVER too late to set new goals and dreams that can lead to new beginnings.
Rediscover your passions, find new purpose & reconnect with what brings you joy.

✨Find new things to love! Learning to play pickleball & making so many new friends has been an unexpected gift at this stage of my life.

✨Rewrite your values and make sure that aligns with how you want your life to feel and look to you.

✨Being intentional with those small but powerful tweaks in self belief & mindset shifts can change our lives and then you really begin to live it.

✨Don’t wait to be happy. Breathe new life into you & your life.

Just double checking you haven’t forgotten you.

📍Save this for a day you may need a helping hand to believe in yourself again.

If you’ve ever thought it’s too late for you to rewrite your story please read this…

I never thought I could still be evolving & learning and growing at this stage of my life.
Forget those made-up timelines. It’s never too late for you. I firmly believe you can’t be behind in the timeline of your life.

So in case you need to hear this today..

*I didn’t start my nurse training until my 30s with two small boys in tow..
*I got the most demanding and yet rewarding job of my life in my 50s..
*At 60 I could dead lift my own body weight..
*I started my coaching & mentoring biz for midlife women from my spare room in lockdown & it has evolved & grown with me.
*In my own “next chapter” I’ve been featured in books & gorgeous spreads in magazines.
I’ve made new deep friendships & things to love (hello pickleball 🙋🏼‍♀️)

Forget those timelines of life my friend….there is more ahead than is behind you.

The bonus of being on the planet for a few years is that I’ve learned a thing or two! I’m still learning of course but I wanted so share some common themes that come up in my coaching & day to day conversations.

1. Find what really matters to you. Change and growth is not easy, but it’s harder to stay somewhere you don’t belong. Our values change over time & perhaps what was once important to you doesn’t hold the same meaning.

2. We can make up stories in our minds of what other people think of us. Let go of external validation & the weight of others expectations. What’s more important is what you think of you. Start there.

3. Learn how to let go of the past. I know it’s not easy, but with help can mean you don’t destroy the peace of your future too. Your past does not define you & what is ahead of you is more important than what has already gone.

4. Gamechanger! Notice your thoughts, and remind yourself that thoughts are not facts. You are not your thoughts. Don’t let your mind bully you.

5. Your relationship with you is the key to all the others. What I’ve learned is that everyone has a chapter they don’t read out loud. As you age you will need you in your corner more than ever. Learn to love you just for being you.

6. Start before you’re ready. Don’t wait for motivation because it may not come. Take messy action first, and then you’ll become motivated.

7. Don’t let age hold you back. I teach women how to change their perspective because those social timelines are totally made up. If there’s something you really want to do or change or start…or leave behind…do it! Take that first step today.

Is there something you can take away? I’d love to know 🫶🏼

You can’t give your life more time but you can give your time more life. We are often waiting for the next holiday…or to lose weight…or for Friday. But life sometimes doesn’t wait. Don’t wait to be happy.

One small decision could change everything.

Parts of your life may not have turned out the way you’d hoped. Especially in our midlife years we may feel those time pressures….how did so many years go by & is there still time to be all I want to be. To do all I want to do?

Believe me it’s not too late & I love to encourage my midlife clients that this is your intuition telling you that something in your life…or the way you’ve been living it…needs to change.

So If you’re feeling stuck or lost right now please know there’s no final version of you. Perhaps it may not feel like it but you’re always learning and growing…. getting ready for that next level of happiness & hope & adventure that is in your next chapter.

You can’t give your life more time but you can give your time more life. One small decision could change everything.

If this made you feel something give it a ❤️

A little something from behind the scenes of my week. I used to say goodbye to the sea at the end of August. The last BH was always the end of fun & beach days.

But a few years ago I didn’t stop in September. The sea became the friend I didn’t know I had. Through all the loneliness of the pandemic I just kept going in. Adding winter sea swims (dips!) was like a whole new world of possibilities.

I’ve made new friends & connections since we moved back to Newquay too. So many women message me about how I’ve inspired them to let go & get in…& many of my clients send me pics of them in the water too. Some haven’t been in for YEARS!

So we meet up each morning all weathers & all seasons too. We feel so lucky & never take freezing our asses off together for granted. That selfie timer is always in charge 😂

Do you have a morning routine? Your self care tank needs topping up too 🫶🏼💕

“The magic you’re looking for is in the work you’re avoiding“ This really called to me. Words can come cheap as someone once said. But these words really made me think.

After decades in the NHS my last role setting up a service for women with secondary breast cancer had taken its toll. I was tired on the inside. And after lots of conversations about moving back to Cornwall to be near my mum, we made the leap…and that’s the story for another day.

I found an old blog post where I said I wanted to thrive and not just survive. I’ve been on my own journey of self growth over the last few years & the self doubt, the fear, the low self confidence to put myself out there was SO real! But there were certain sentences that stayed in my head & they were calling me.

One really big thing you can do for yourself is to be able to trust you on the inside. This is something now I help women with every day.

So if you say you’re going to do something & you want to do something… make it happen. Because our subconscious mind listens.

Perhaps there is something pulling you in some way right now, something you can’t stop thinking about. From the smallest step to the biggest leap what is it that is calling you?

Please listen. It’s not too late.

Which one makes you feel something? I’d love you to share 🙆🏼‍♀️

7 things to start now if you want to see yourself in new ways in 2026

When you’re not sure what to focus on why not start with you? It’s time to get to know your favourite version of you this year…

1. Notice how you talk to yourself. Self talk is key to how you see yourself. Start here: if you wouldn’t say it to a friend don’t say it to you.
2. Journalling can be so powerful and evidence shows it can help reduce stress and anxiety. When we journal our thoughts, it can bring a closure to our brains and those repeated overthinking patterns.
3. Move your body. Move it in any way, that feels good whether that’s dancing in the kitchen going for a walk in nature, lifting some weights or a daily stretch.
4. Practice daily positive affirmations. A simple practice I encourage my clients to embrace that can make you feel more grounded. Uplifting encouraging words you need to hear.
5. Put yourself on your to-do list and if you’re not at the top, you should be. Give yourself the same love care & attention you give to those you care about.
6. Get to know yourself on the inside. This midlife stage of life is different. There’s been so much change for you. When you become your own best friend & have your own back your life will change.
7. Learn to visualise your ideal day. Bring it to mind & remind your subconscious what is important to you.

Please believe me when I say you are the greatest project you will ever work on. Do it for you.
Does anything call to you here?
