Just after turning 50, I lost the career I had spent decades building. Within a short period, I had also lost both of my parents.

Everyone around me had an opinion about what I should do next. Stay where I was. Be realistic. Choose security. Just get a proper job.

It was all sensible advice, but something inside me knew I wanted more.

I didn’t have a perfect plan or know what came next. Slowly, through a series of questions, ideas and small choices, I found my way forward and created a life that felt like mine.

Now I want to share what helped me get here.

More importantly, I want to create the community I wish I had at the time, a space where women can feel seen and heard, speak honestly about what they want and explore what their more could look like together.

You do not need to have the answer.

You only need to be willing to ask the question.
