Are You Where You Want to Be?

I’m not trying to put you on a downer, if you aren't feeling some or all of these things. Being in business can be tough for any business owner, especially if you’re over 50 feeling tired, worn out and ‘over it’. Life changes as you get...

Have you lost your midlife mojo?

There can be different times in your life when you check-in with yourself and question ‘where am I?’, ‘what am I doing? ‘ , ‘what’s wrong with me?’. That last question ‘what’s wrong with me?’ is a big one.  No-one wants to admit there is something wrong with them and that they’re not ‘normal’, whatever that is.  However when you’re in your 50’s chances are you have experiences which have had a major impact on your life and can cause huge emotional turmoil:

How Much Longer Can You Wait?

With all the free time you have coming up in the next few weeks, it will be an ideal time to reflect on your life. I find that many people want to make changes and no matter how many seminars they attend, books they read and actions they may take, they are still feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. This time last year, I was in that situation feeling frustrated, not knowing what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, feeling stuck, conforming to mediocrity and not fulfilling my potential. It’s amazing how so much has changed in such a short period of time.  I reached out and got the help I needed to reinvent myself, create ‘Relaunch Your Life’ and have become much more content and on purpose.
