I used to believe that I had to hold everything together no matter what!
That my worth came from being useful, needed, and always available â as a wife, mum,
nan, daughter, colleague, friend.
Iâd lost count of the number of roles I was juggling, and somewhere along the wayâŚ
I lost me.
I tolerated the burnout.
I accepted the low-level sadness.
I put on the brave face.
I thought âthis is just what midlife looks like.â
Something shifted when I found myself staring into my garden one day, surrounded by
beauty, a place that I genuinely love â and I realised, I didnât feel any of it.
I felt numb, empty.
That scared me more than anything.
So, I started questioning everything I believed about myself:
Why could I not give myself permission to stop?
Why did I feel guilty resting?
Why was I always seeking validation?
Why did I think it was too late to start something just for me?
That version of me didnât realise that I was carrying beliefs and emotional patterns that
werenât even mine.
That I could be in my 60s and still feel magnetic, purposeful, excited.
That there was a different way to live â one that felt lighter, truer, and full of possibility.
I got support from the beautiful Tina Hall and her amazing Monday morning accountability group Up An At Em..
I began peeling back the layers.
And I started living life as me again â not the roles I played.
If youâre in that place, I want you to know thisâ
Youâre not broken.
Youâre not lazy.
Youâre not past your prime.
Youâre just tired of carrying a version of you that no longer fits.
You donât need to burn it all down â you just need to come back home to yourself
You donât need to burn it all down â you just need to come back home to yourself.
And if you need someone to hold and support you ... Iâm here to walk with you when youâre ready.....it wonât be painful, it will be beautiful ...stepping out the other side walking toward a brilliant future â¨

Not because you need fixing, but because you finally deserve you back đ
