As middle-aged women, many of us find ourselves at a crossroads—children growing into their own lives, while we are left to rediscover ours. As a mother with my youngest now in their second year of university overseas, I can relate to the mix of emotions this phase brings. It’s a time of reflection, of redefining who we are outside of motherhood. For me, it’s meant channeling my energy into building a private practice, supporting others through sessions, resources, and group offerings.

This journey often feels like nurturing a growing child, with the highs of success and the exhaustion of pouring everything into something new. Yet, it’s important to remind ourselves to slow down. We deserve moments of rest and restoration. Taking time to breathe, enjoy the present, and embrace the simple pleasures of life—whether it’s a relaxed meal of cold cuts, cheese, and a ripe peach, or a quiet evening without the constant need for planning—can be healing.

For women navigating this transition, it’s essential to find balance between pursuing new dreams and maintaining self-care. It’s okay to enjoy the freedom that comes with an empty nest and to savor the solitude. Remember that you’re not alone on this journey. Together, we can explore how to create a fulfilling life that celebrates both who you are and who you’re becoming.

If you’re finding it difficult to adjust, take the time to reflect, slow down, and reach out. Let’s talk about how we can work together to help you reconnect with yourself and discover the next chapter of your life.
