Welcome

If you have landed on this page, then welcome and hello. As the blog title suggests, this is a shared space for navigating the murky avenue of ‘midlife’.   I created this blog, so that I can share with you, all the weird and wonderful things I have trialled, adopted and dabbled in, during this strange transitioning time of life. My life now, looks 100% opposite, to how it was 5-10 years ago. There was a significant period of change for me and in all honesty, my transforming is still evolving. I’m now in a place where I accept that life is a continuous journey and we all have a story to tell, so that we can share, learn and support each other. Let me get straight to it – my roles have changed, my body (internal and external) have changed, my outlook of life has changed, what I place importance on has changed, my relationships have changed, my relationship with myself has changed and my priorities have changed. Please use this platform to recognise that you are not alone and we...

If you have landed on this page, then welcome and hello. As the blog title suggests, this is a shared space for navigating the murky avenue of ‘midlife’.  I created this blog, so that I can share with you, all the weird and wonderful things I have trialled, adopted and dabbled in, during this strange transitioning time of life. My life now, looks 100% opposite, to how it was 5-10 years ago.

There was a significant period of change for me and in all honesty, my transforming is still evolving. I’m now in a place where I accept that life is a continuous journey and we all have a story to tell, so that we can share, learn and support each other.

Let me get straight to it – my roles have changed, my body (internal and external) have changed, my outlook of life has changed, what I place importance on has changed, my relationships have changed, my relationship with myself has changed and my priorities have changed.

Please use this platform to recognise that you are not alone and we can all learn from one another. My journey is unique (as is yours) but lets embrace our uniqueness to ‘discover’!!

Keep a track on further posts, where you will discover; crazy health fads, confused fashion, different concepts of spirituality, daily fact finds, reflections from the past and a daily dose of muddling through my mid-life.

Acceptance in Midlife

Embracing Your Uniqueness Recognising and accepting who we are as unique individuals, will be a very different experience and journey, for us all. If 'at all', for some people! What I do know from personal experience, is that some of my own acceptances have come from intentional work that I've embarked on, along with some developed 'wisdom' that has come with age. Both of these routes for self-acceptance are an evolving journey that I continue to 'allow' to support my health and wellness. Recognising My Uniqueness For me, my first step in accepting 'me' and my life's journey so far, has been to stop and intentionally recognise myself. As an individual being, I sit within a broad and complex matrix of people, cultures, societies, beliefs and values. All of these things shape who we are and influence our identity and sense of belonging. At times these factors can directly challenge our 'natural' way of being and push the boundaries of what ...

Perimenopause and starting HRT

 Perimenopause Symptoms So, for me personally, I believe that my perimenopause symptoms started in my early 40's. This is when I started to notice some subtle changes in my body. My menstrual cycle started to change a little but it wasn't too significant to warrant any concerns at that stage. Even at these early stages I just 'felt' different. As the years progressed, other symptoms developed and at the time, I didn't link it to perimenopause because I didn't really know much about the wide range of symptoms (other than the traditional hot flushes and changes to menstrual cycle). My symptoms included: ringing in my ears, heart palpitations, brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, low libido, random crying, hair loss, sudden onset of odd allergies and of course changes in menstrual cycle - being irregular and unpredictable. I did actually approach my GP many years ago and questioned if any of my symptoms were related to hormone imbalance but I was told I was too young (b...

Gratitude

 Learning Gratitude For me, gratitude has been a developing skill that's taken me conscious effort to adopt. I truly believe that reaching my midlife years has allowed me the head space to be more considered about the everyday things that we generally take for granted. There's no question that I've been grateful for so many things, throughout my whole life but when I was younger, the things that I caught myself being grateful for, where generally quite significant things. For instance, generous gifts or major events that brought me joy. I was totally blind to the joy and gratitude that can be seen in every moment. Those moments are there, if we are open, conscious and willing to see them. However,  this takes patience and regular practice. Perceptions of Gratitude Life circumstances and experiences shape our 'openness' in being able to recognise all the magnificent things we have in our lives. So, it is not without context for each person. Each of us will arrive at ...
