“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 🙆🏼‍♀️

Life lately…
I’ve been a bit MIA I know. In a week where the world seems to have been turned upside down it’s been a reminder we can only focus on the controllables. The journaling, the meditations, the tapping…the affirmations all the wellbeing tools have helped 🧰

This has been a week! There’s been real life behind the scenes of Instagram as for all of us.
If you are a subscriber to my newsletter (where I always share a bit more stuff) you’ll know I was moving house. I’ll miss my tiny office space with vision boards, crystals & plants, cards from clients & subscribers too. But it was time for change & I’m excited for our new beginnings.

But try not to do it when you’re carrying a little injury Trace! Lesson learned don’t ignore a black toe because now I’ve just come back from having my big toenail removed 🫩

But before that I managed to get in the sea under a massive full moon with my pals…it was collective awe right there. The moments that matter.

I walked along the cliff top in the ☀️
There have been some amazing tides and swells and spring has definitely sprung. Glimmers are everywhere when you look for them.

I’m genuinely so proud of our midlife women community in this little corner of the internet & my readers too. This message lifted my spirits when I needed it. Kind words mean so much don’t they.

So my birthday month is looking and feeling a little different so far this year as no fun for me for a little while. There will be a lot of making up for that! I’m definitely giving 80 yr old me something to think about 💁🏼‍♀️

These are the conversations I talk with women every day. A reminder for us all.

If you’re in midlife & beyond, feeling stuck & ready to rebuild your confidence then this is for you. Instead of looking in that rear view mirror of life & wishing things were different, please know the life in front of you is more important than the life that’s already gone.

You’ve done hard things before & this is your permission slip. You’re not broken. You’re not lost. You may feel a bit stuck right now but you’re just ready for a new chapter. This is your reminder. Midlife is your comeback era.

🌟You have permission to dream and believe. Hope can take you to the next step.

🌟Having a voice can sometimes be more important than being “nice.” You’ve got a lot to say & what you say does matter.

🌟Learn how to back yourself. Become your own cheerleader. Notice those small wins. Success may not mean what you’ve been told it does. Look how far you’ve come and you’re still standing.

🌟Who were you before the world told you who you should be? It’s never too late to find what you love or begin again & go back to what you love

🌟The past does not define you. Let go of guilt & those “if only’s”. You can rewrite your story at any time because you are the author. You are ready for a life upgrade.

🌟Perhaps your values have changed & what was once important may just not hold the same meaning and that’s okay. Revisit those values.

🌟You have nothing to prove. Let go a bit & relax your grip. Instead flow like water & allow. What is meant for you will find you.

🌟Age the way YOU want to…you don’t have to fit into someone else’s beauty standards.

🌟Wear what makes you feel good. We don’t need to explain our choices to anyone. Find your style. Just be you everyone else is taken.

🌟Don’t wait for “one day”because it may not come. Don’t wait to be happy my friend.

Does something call you here? I’d love to know 💘

Isn’t it crazy that we’ll never be as young as we are right now.

The good old days are happening now. We say someday like it’s promised and we spend our days chasing a future that can’t be guaranteed.

Do you ever say I’ll be happy when? ….(fill in the blank here) when I’ve moved house, lost the weight, left my job…the relationship?

I encourage the women who come to me not to wait to be happy because today is all we have isn’t it really?

Time can slip through our fingers & we forget that today is the youngest we will ever be again. Everything you do today your 90-year-old self would wish they could go back and do.

So if change is what you need…ask yourself what is the first & easiest step I could take towards that change.

Is something calling you? I’d love to know….& I believe in you 🫶🏼

As an older woman I’ve learned a few things. Perhaps now it time to start choosing you.
You’ve spent so many years pouring into everyone else and now it’s time for you. You’ve done hard things before & this is your permission slip. You’re not broken. You’re not lost. You may feel a bit stuck but you’re just ready for a new chapter. This is your reminder. Midlife is your comeback era.

⭐️You can be grateful for everything you have whilst still working for what you want.

⭐️You don’t have to explain to others how you want your life to feel and look as long as it makes sense to you.

⭐️You can start late. Look different and still succeed. No failure just learning.

⭐️You can change your ideas, your plans, your mind…they are yours to change after all.

⭐️Learn how to say no when you know it’s best for you.

⭐️You’ve been making everyone else a priority now it’s time to give you the same love care and attention. Find what you love.

⭐️Make rest your priority you don’t need to apologise for it.

⭐️You have permission just to be you. Being you is more than enough.

Is there one that makes you feel something? I’d love to know 🤎

Life is so subtle sometimes that you barely notice yourself walking through the doors you once prayed would open”

I love what I do & starting my coaching biz from home changed my life…but I also love having those other “loves” that help me to see myself in other ways. Those small habits that shape our days. But of course it’s not perfect. Wishing things were different just keeps you stuck. I know that from my own experience.

You don’t need permission to live. You don’t need to wait to feel alive either! There are so many things I use to wish for that have become part of who I am today. I couldn’t have imagined how this would evolve (my word of the year) a few years ago. I don’t take it for granted for a single second.

One small step & one small decision can change everything for you. It’s not too late. Stop wishing & start living. You’ve got this 🫶🏼

📍Save this to come back & read again if you need to.

I don’t know about you but January always holds the hint of promise somehow doesn’t it?
But life doesn’t choose a month to be a good or bad one. We can compare our lives to others’ when we’re feeling a little low or “less than” but bad (& good) times don’t last do they?

To be honest I’ve had a flu virus which didn’t really go away. “I’m back” I said on our Saturday morning dip but now I’ve had to stop & wait for the chest infection to pass. But there were moments of joy: a pink sky after days of rain, storms & flooding.

Our sauna by the sea & the best of the warmth, the screams of the freezing harbour dips & much hilarity &
pink faces. A whole new meaning to cold plunges! Such a mood boost in these grey days.

Overshadowing it all was the loss of my wonderful mum-in-law. Much loved & much-missed.

Small moments of happiness in between sadness…sometimes it’s even more important to notice when they come.

So if 2026 hasn’t started in the way you’d hoped either - I’m sure all the good things are coming your way. We are moving into a powerful energy & I’m diving into all things Midlife Manifesting in The Club this week & I’m here for it too 📥

Thanks for all your kind messages ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I’ve had a little break from IG so it’s time for a little re-introduction!

My Instagram story began as a woman in her mid 50’s lifting weights at the gym. Of course it’s so common now, but but then I felt so out of place believe me but it ended up being a massive confidence giver & and if you can, do it..you won’t regret it.

There are lots of twists and turns of course in our story but we decided to make a new start in Cornwall after I retired to be closer to my mum…but I admit I was full of regret.

I was so lonely in our rental holiday cottage that was soon to come to an end. I missed everything about my old life.

After spending so many years in the world of cancer, I knew better than most how precious life is and I didn’t want to waste a second wishing things were different.

When I was vulnerable, I’d opened up on Instagram about being lonely. I literally hid behind the sofa when I posted it but women felt they could connect with me and identify with some of this emptiness that we can feel in this stage of life. I decided to retrain as a life coach and added it to all my nursing psychological and communication skills.

Of course it all evolved but my online six week Mindset Reset coaching package has changed lives. Our minds are so powerful and if you keep telling yourself it’s too late it will be. Instead remind yourself every day you have the power to rewrite your story..

If you’re reading this I’m so glad you’re here! Please say hi 👋🏼

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?
