Testimonials... always make me happy!

I asked AI for alternative phrases for ‘midlife’ and it came back with ‘the wrong side of 40’.

Not a phrase you hear so much nowadays (because it is rude!) but one I grew up with; ‘She’s the wrong side of 40’. (Note, it’s nearly always a ‘she’, men don’t have such arbitrary lines thrown across their sense of worthiness.)

It highlights a view on aging that in some ways is more subtle in 2025 (of course the cosmetic enhancement industry is booming so not that subtle) but still very much there; that ‘old’ is wrong and ugly and youthfulness is where it’s at.

Not a great message seeing as all of us, if we are fortunate, are going to be treading that path. Time happens.

It had me asking - the wrong side of 40 for what exactly? For breeding yes, that gets harder after 40. Some, but not all, physical endeavours, maybe. Anything else?

The truth is, IMHO, we don’t reach our prime until our 40s. Yes we may slow down a bit physically and mentally (although I’m more active in my 50s than ever before and everyday remains a school day when you are running your own business) but balance that against wisdom and experience and the latter wins hands down.

What you have then on my side of 40 then is a generation of formidable women.

Of course…

less formidable if we are told we are on ‘the wrong side’,
less formidable if work environments don’t support us,
less formidable without appropriate healthcare support and advice.

So let’s change up this narrative. It’s dangerous, dated and detrimental to us all.

I’m going say this out loud and just leave it here.

It’s OK to be an older woman. There are some real perks if I’m being honest.
Not giving a hoot about what anyone else thinks about it being one of them 😊
Feeling happy about using far too many brackets in a post being another.
What are your perks to being above 40?

Confidence From the Inside Out

Confidence doesn’t come with your job title, your qualifications or your achievements.

It comes from knowing you are capable and can influence the direction your life takes.

With positive psychology, confidence is something...

✅ You can practice
✅ You can learn
✅ You can recover

Because positive psychology helps nurture trust in yourself.

💬 What’s something you’ve achieved that made you realise how capable you really are?

Are you ready for your next chapter?

To stop sabotaging and start showing up as the woman you were born to be? A woman who honours her boundaries, so she can start to thrive!

I’m Tracy from Positive Being Coaching and I help smart, capable women in their 40s and beyond, break free from self-doubt, people-pleasing, and overwhelm so they can finally step into the confident, fulfilled life they know they’re meant for.

Women I work with tell me they feel stuck. They know they are capable of much more but are trapped by self-doubt, impostor feelings and menopause anxiety. It stops them stepping into that bigger version of themselves they were born to be.

They say...

· ‘I know I’m capable of more, but I keep sabotaging myself.’

· ‘Why do I feel so stuck?’

· ‘I should have this figured this out by now.’

· ‘Not this again! I thought I’d dealt with it.’

· ‘Why do they always ask me? I guess because I don’t say no!’

· ‘I’ve lost my spark, and I don’t know how to get it back…’

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or you’ve lost your spark, I’ll help you get clear on who you are, what you want, and how to get there.

This isn’t therapy. It’s bold, forward-focused transformative positive psychology in action that delivers real results.

So are you ready to break free and start living? Then I want to talk to you.

Confidence For Everyone

Confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t have. It’s a skill you build and positive psychology gives you the tools to do it.

By focusing on strengths, values, and self-awareness, you start building an inner trust that doesn’t depend on outside success.

What’s one strength of yours you know you can rely on?

Pick Goals That Actually Motivate You

If your goals are built on someone else’s expectations, they won’t inspire you to keep going when things get tough.

Confidence grows when YOUR goals align with YOUR dreams and YOUR values.

So, pick goals that light you up inside.

✨ Break them down, focus on the next step you need to take and remember to celebrate each win along the way.

➡️ Do you have a goal you're working on that’s just for you?

❤️ Self-Compassion Is a Confidence Superpower ❤️

You won’t get it right every time. That’s okay.

Confidence isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being kind to yourself, especially when things don’t go to plan.

💭 Positive psychology reminds us to respond with self-compassion instead of criticism.

👉 Progress isn’t linear. Keep going anyway.

How do you speak to yourself after a setback?
