I've been telling people recently that I want to get bigger. Their reaction is generally shock until I explain what I mean.
As women we are led to believe that smaller is better. I've put on 10kg over the last 18 months and it's not fat, it's muscle.
I am stronger and fitter now than I was a decade ago.
I'm sick of thinking that weighing less is better and somehow makes you more acceptable.
Stronger not smaller is the way forward 💪

Midlife doesn’t need to be a crisis. How coaching and mentoring can support flourishing in the second half of life.

I turned 50 a few weeks ago, and several people said to me, "Does it bother you?" "How do you feel?" "It's just a number", "It's all downhill from here." For me, reaching 50 was actually a relief. My mum died a month before her 50th birthday, so the last year has thrown up a lot of thoughts and emotions about turning 50. Getting there felt like a positive milestone, and I am grateful to have made it. I know it's just a date and a number, but it felt significant.

Midlife, for men and women, often comes with the cliché of a crisis. I'm more inclined to see it as a mess rather than a crisis. Life slowly creeps up on you; your body isn't capable of what it was in your 20s and 30s. Things start to ache and go wrong. It's usually around this time that chronic health conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, COPD and obesity start to appear, which can feel inevitable. You don’t recognise yourself in the mirror, lines and wrinkles seem to pop up overnight, and you can’t go anywhere without your reading glasses.

If you have them, kids are usually in their late teens and leaving home, often with university costs which you haven’t been able to save for. Parents' health starts to fail, sometimes bringing care costs or difficult conversations about finances you never expected to be having, and you become sandwiched between the responsibilities of parenting and caring, often whilst managing a career you probably never intended to last this long.

Mentoring and coaching can help you untangle the mess and support you in flourishing through this next phase of life, creating one that's healthier, happier and more balanced.

Happy International Nurses Day, to all my colleagues, past and present. What an amazing job we all do. The role of supporting all people, often in the hardest moments of their lives, is a privilege. More often than not working in challenging environments, sacrificing our own families and ourselves to care for others. Nurses are who we are at our core. Yes it is a vocation but we are also highly skilled professionals.

Ok, after 16 years of using Instagram I can post, but a story and a reel? Nope. Take 2.
Let's connect rather than compare, that's the message I wanted to give today ❤️
