My message to all midlife women is this. There is no beginning, middle or end to fulfilling your true potential.
Midlife can bring many challenges of self doubt, change, lack of confidence and sense of loss, especially for women.
But in truth, these challenges are simply a continuum of our ongoing journey of self improvement, albeit one we need to respond to in midlife with a different set of solutions.
What I discovered only well into my 50s is that it is never too late to make a change, and that your health is the number one key driver to all the other things you might wish for yourself, a sense of joy, calm, energy for life, good relationships with friends and family, fulfilment of ambition, the list goes on.
Good health is a privilege, not a given, and we must earn it. So my message would be to prioritise your food, movement, sleep and sense of purpose, all key drivers of a strong mindset and body.
It took me a long time properly to appreciate this, but the minute I did, life opened up opportunities I could only have dreamed of, a new book, a new career in wellness, a new business launch and the knowledge that there is so so much more to come.
Own your wellbeing and you own your future.
