(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 :-)

Rare day out

Honestly, it’s near impossible to get this child to find some free time to spend with us. And then to get her to pose for a photo! Miracle of miracles.

Catching the rays

It’s hardly winter, but the air is getting crispier and cooler, and so Lisa looks for any ray of sunlight …and then hogs it. I’m just here to take the photos!

A Mother’s Day treat

Took myself out for a custard slice and a whipped cream cappuccino. Kids were at home, so had some peace and quiet. A win-win!

Another notebook

Maybe one day I will have enough notebooks, but to day is not the day. Isn’t this one gorgeous? It also has a glossy finish, which makes it even better. And its a blank. Perfection!
