As we head towards midlife a question that can arise for ourselves is “what am I going to do with the rest of my life?” In this blog, I am going to talk about 4 questions you can ask that can help you discover the answer!

Your 40’s, 50’s and beyond (midlife) can be a time of great change in a woman’s life. Children growing up, ageing parents, menopause and other changes brought about by the ageing process are just some examples of changes that can occur which can all affect

I have recently spent some time thinking about my vision and mission for my coaching biz. What struck me was how the vision I have for my coaching, and the mission I feel it has, is so entwined with my own personal vision and the way I want to live. The two are intrinsically linked.

Basically, a vision board is exactly what it sounds like - a collection of pictures, words and visual representations of what you want to do, have or be in life. The idea is to bring whatever is on your vision board to life. It’s a bit like a visual wish list.

This is Part 3 in my series Midlife An A-Z. I am not ignoring the negative but also highlighting the positive and hopefully the amusing along the way too.

Today is the first in a series of blogs I’m writing - an A-Z of Midlife. Focusing on the positive but not ignoring the negative and with hopefully a side of humour thrown in along the way😀. I’m going to break it down into a series of articles, otherwise you’d never make it to the end!

Sometimes I feel the phrase life purpose can be quite an intimidating phrase – as though we need to find “the” purpose, the one and only purpose for our whole lives. It can apply a pressure that doesn’t need to be there.

That word fine – what does it actually tell us? Not a lot – it’s a bit “comme ci, comme ca” but that sounds much more interesting (probably because I’m English😂). Fine tends to be a stock answer to any question beginning how are – you, things, life.

It’s January 2022 and where do you want to be – other than out of lockdown, obviously? It would be so easy (and understandable) at the moment to feel like life is on hold. To feel that there’s not a lot of point in planning, setting goals, making changes you want in life.

What actually is life-coaching?

“life-changing”, “encouraging”, “nurturing”, “motivating”, “inspirational” – words my clients have used and, I would echo those from my own experience of working with a coach. Life-coaching is a way of helping people make change in their life – it helps change and transform mindsets and become aware of what may hold you back in getting to where you want in life. 

2020 has been a year hasn’t it?  Global turmoil and uncertainty.  It’s certainly been a year of change and totally unexpected.  When we entered a new decade there was a lot of talk of 2020 being the year of 2020 vision and in many ways it has been – but I doubt in the way any of us envisaged. How are you feeling about moving towards 2021 or are you not wanting to look ahead yet?

I can’t remember who first introduced me to the idea of gratitude journalling, but it has been a real eye-opener. Just noting at least 3 things every day that I’m grateful for – I usually write them down but sometimes it’s in my head.
