(Newsletter #1): Welcome

Hi! If you’re reading this in April ‘24, it means you are part of my pilot team for the newsletter. Thank you! It’s going to be a bit “throwing spaghetti at the wall” kind of stuff for a while, as I find my voice and see what resonates with me (and you). So thanks for your patience. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can join here.

The idea is to write to an audience of “second chapter women” from my own experience of dealing with this phase of life. Ultimately I’ve come to realise we are not just defined by our maternal, marital or work status, but we put so much focus on those parts of our lives that when circumstances change (and they always do!), we find ourselves “lost”.

A sure way to be “lost” is to feel alone in experiences. But the more I talk to women, the more I realise we all struggle with the same things: mental loads, guilt, fear of missing out or falling behind, lack of time, little support and isolation. So I am here to talk about my life, in my voice, and hopefully help you give volume to yours.

Ideally, I would love for this to grow into a safe community where we can turn to each other for advice, support and accountability. But that’s long term! For now, thanks for reading the opening chapter of this journey. I hope we have fun along the way. ❣️

I have a newsletter!
It lands in your inbox on Saturdays, and is filled with fun links, stories, book and movie recommendations, my wild thoughts, a bit of pop psychology, a bit of inspo lifestyle, and a whole lot of “so this is midlife!” kind of stuff :-)

Join me in my musings and adventures as I live and love my second (and best!) chapter, together with my 2 kids and beloved dog! ❤️

Men + women = friendship?

I am very comfortable with having male friends while also having a boyfriend, because I know myself, and I know my friends, and I know there’s literally zero chance, while I am in this relationship, that any of these friendships would turn into something more than just platonic.

Thanks, January 2025. You were swell.

I am keeping myself accountable to my 2025 vision, and am doing a monthly recap. January feels like a lifetime away, but it’s only been a week! It also feels like a lot happened in Jan. New Years Day was spent recuperating from an amazing New Years Eve party, which

Well, hello 2025!

I am very excited for 2025! I wrote about my 2024 recap, and honestly…it was all positive. (I’m sure I had lots of negative things happen in 2024, but none seem to have made a lasting impression). So now, I need to harness that positivity, and skate into 2025. Of

Review of 2024

Yes, I know it’s February, and most people review their year in first weeks of January, but that has never really worked for me. I need the year to end properly, then I need to decompress, and then I need to reflect. That takes time, so February seems apt. And

Lost dogs, scary movies and photography

Welcome to Day 3 of the 100 Day Challenge, and happy Halloween! I fell asleep watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last night, but caught up this evening. I didn’t fall asleep because the movie was bad, but because I was exhausted. It has been a strange week, where I have been busy,
