In my late thirties, I felt a little bit like ‘life as I knew it’ was over. I had spent most of the decade deep in the role of motherhood with my 3 children, and while there is no doubting they are my proudest achievement and my greatest joy, I often felt as if I had lost the true essence of who I was.  Certainly I put my own wants and desires at the bottom of the pile.

It was only as I moved through my forties, becoming more brave in my choices, saying yes to myself more often, and becoming curious about who I am and how I want to feel in my life, that things started to shift and I became aligned with joy and purpose. It wasn’t always easy, but it’s definitely been worth it!

Now at the age of 50, I truly believe my best years are still ahead of me, and I look forward to stepping more deeply and powerfully into my own unique brand of wisdom. Here’s to the  Magic of Midlife!
