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 🙆🏼‍♀️

If the thought of Monday is occupying your Sunday…here are a few words that have made me feel something this week.

Take what you need.

What’s your favourite? 🫶🏼💕✨

The older I get the more I love being a woman. But imagine if you were 75, 67, 50 …or any age.
Maybe you didn’t speak up or laugh until your cheeks ached because you thought your teeth weren’t straight or white enough.

Or you didn’t want to run in the sea because your thighs jiggled or your belly wasn’t flat.

What if you began to realise you had actually been the perfect version of you all along? You can’t get those years back! So begin today so don’t waste any more time focusing on all you think you aren’t & instead know that you are more than enough just as you are.

Whether you are 45 or 75 can we just promise ourselves we won’t limit our lives because of how “we think” we look?

As a retired cancer nurse please & don’t look back and wish that you had lived more.

I see you & you are beautiful 👋🏼

Save this to come back to if you need to read it again.

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 yet rewarding job in my cancer nursing career in my mid 50s setting up a service for women with secondary breast cancer.

✨At 60 I could dead lift my own body weight. No bragging rights just encouragement! 💪🏼

✨I started my coaching and mentoring business for midlife women from my spare room in lockdown at 61 and it has grown with me.

✨In my own next chapter I’ve been featured in books and magazines and as I’ve become comfortable in my own skin more things have come my way. We need real women here right?

✨I began running my own Reset and Recharge retreats by the sea at 65.

✨I’ve made so many new friends and found new things to love and life has evolved in so many unexpected ways.

I truly believe you can’t be behind in the timeline of your own life. Age is honestly just a number. There is time for you to be all you want to be.

“One day you will look back and see that all along you were blooming.” - MHN

It’s only my flipping birthday!!!

I am now officially an Instagram elder at 67 😂 It feels a bit crazy I won’t lie but I’m just happy to still be here.

I know we can all dread the thought of the years going by…but honestly I’ve had some of my happiest days in this decade. Made new friends & tried new things & found new things to love too (hello Rosie!)🙏🏼

Thank you for all the love & support …you are in the best girl gang in our little corner of the internet! Ps shhhh…you are my favourite 🙆🏼‍♀️

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?
