I know what it means to feel hopeless.   

Midlife hit me like a tidal wave. I was anxious and depressed. My body ballooned. My confidence was shot. My energy vanished. The future felt empty. I’d drag myself out of bed in the morning to face another joyless day.

At 50+, the clock was ticking. I knew life could be so much more. I had to stop wasting time and make a change!

I started with tiny steps, adding positive habits and seeking out new perspectives. I made myself a priority — a tough task for a people-pleaser like me — and nurturing myself became my daily goal. I added things that make me curious, passionate, and enthusiastic, and ditched the things that steal my joy. I also stopped buying into the idea that we have less to offer simply because we’re older. What rubbish! We have so much more to offer now, with decades of experience and wisdom to share.

One morning I woke up with that Christmas morning feeling again, brimming with excitement and eager for the day to begin.

And that’s exactly what I want for you.
