My 40+ life

Welcome to my 40+ life
Hello and welcome! For me, life really did begin at 40. This has been the decade where I’ve learned the most about myself and been brave enough to become the person I was always meant to be. Like most women in their 40s, I've been on quite a journey, and have always written about my experiences as a way of processing them.

There's something very healing and powerful about sharing our stories. For years, I was the one reading blogs for comfort, guidance and support. Helping someone by sharing mine was always my dream and your comments and messages have brought me huge joy. Please subscribe by clicking at the bottom of any of my blogs so that you don't miss anything, and follow me on social media to see all my content - all links below :) .

Thank you!

At the heart of any family or group are a core set of people who keep everything - and everyone - together. At my running club, one of those people is Vic. Whether it's getting the best photos at a big race or being run director at the local Parkrun, Vic's just always there, tirelessly...
