I’m Jen, a 50-year-old mum and Gen X woman living with fibromyalgia. ❤️

I’m building a flexible business to create a Plan B—one that fits around my health, gives me more choices, and helps me build a future on my own terms.

If you’re wondering whether it’s too late to start, it isn’t. Take that first step.

DM me WHY to learn more. ✨

THIS IS MY WHY 🤍

I live with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Some days my body simply doesn’t cooperate. My energy can disappear without warning, and for years I felt like my health was putting limits on my life.

I refused to let it decide my future.

I wanted something that could work around my life, my energy and my health, while giving me the opportunity to create more freedom and choice.

My chronic illness is part of my why.

But it does NOT define what I’m capable of. 🖤

And if you’re living with chronic illness and thinking “there has to be another way”…

Maybe this is your sign.

DM me “WHY” and let’s chat. ✨

50 is the year I stop playing small.

I’ve got too much life left to live, too much to build and too many women I want to help along the way.

This next chapter? I’m making it count. 🔥

No shrinking. No waiting. No permission.

I’m just getting started.

If you’re ready to stop playing small too, DM me “READY” and let’s talk. 🔥

My WHY is bigger than just building a business.

I want to create a life where my health doesn’t dictate my income, where I have more freedom, more time with my family, and the ability to live life on my terms.

Living with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue has taught me that life is too short to keep putting yourself last.

I want to help other women, especially mums and those living with chronic illness, realise they can still dream big, create opportunities and build something for themselves.

I’m not just building a business. I’m building a future, a legacy and a community of women who refuse to settle.

I’m 50, I’m not just playing small anymore, and I’m only just getting started. ✨

What’s YOUR why?

Gen X women, let’s have a little chat. ☕️

We’ve spent years showing up, working hard, raising families and keeping everyone else going.
But here’s a thought…

What if your job disappeared tomorrow? What if your health meant you couldn’t work? What if you just wanted MORE out of life than waiting for payday?

That’s exactly why I’m building my Plan B. ✨
Not because I hate my job. Not because I’m giving up.

But because I want options. More freedom. Extra income. And something that’s mine.

I’m building an online travel business around my life, my family and my health, not the other way around.

Because having a Plan B isn’t negative thinking. It’s taking control of your future.

And ladies, we’re far too young to be playing small. 😉

Who’s building a Plan B alongside me?

Comment PLAN B or drop me a message. Let’s have a chat. ❤️

Your friends aren’t your competition. I want to see my girls WIN, get rich and live their best lives. We rise together, or not at all 🙌🔥🔥

Well this was a bit of a different one for me today 🤣. Instead of teaching kids to swim I’m in with Tilly the GSD 🩷

She was a bit hesitant at first, so I had to get in with her. She absolutely loved it in the end and was a complete natural 🌊💦

Thank you so much to the ladies @wagwatersouthport

✨ HAPPY WEEKEND! ✨

Anyone else feel like they spend Monday to Friday working, paying bills, running around after everyone else… and wondering when it’s YOUR turn? 🙋‍♀️😂

Well, here’s your reminder…

You don’t have to wait until retirement to start living.

You don’t have to settle for one income, one routine, and the same old Sunday night dread.
And you certainly don’t have to be 20 to start something new! 😉

I’m 50, living with fibromyalgia, juggling family life and building a business around MY life… not the other way around.

Because I want more freedom, more choices, more adventures and a future that doesn’t depend on me working myself into the ground.
And if you’re sitting there thinking, “I’d love something like that, but I wouldn’t know where to start”…

Maybe it’s time we had a little chat. ☕️✈️

Your next chapter could look very different.
Who’s ready to make a change?

Drop me a ❤️ or pop me a message.

☕️ MY FIRST BUSINESS COFFEE MORNING… AND I DID IT! 🤍✨

Little old me, stepping outside my comfort zone and bringing women together over coffee, conversations and a whole lot of possibility!

Today wasn’t just about coffee. It was about connection, confidence, new beginnings and showing ordinary women that there could be MORE out there for them.

More freedom. More opportunities. More belief in themselves. And maybe even a little extra income along the way. 🥂

At 50, I’m building something that fits around my family, my health and the life I want to live. And if I can help even one woman realise she can do the same, it’s worth every single minute.

To everyone who came along, supported me or cheered me on, THANK YOU! ❤️

This is just the beginning, ladies. We’re only getting started!

Fancy joining us at the next coffee morning?

Drop me a ☕️ in the comments or message me. You never know where one coffee could lead…

“I don’t have time” used to be my excuse too… until I realised I didn’t need more hours, I needed to make myself a priority.

Even one focused hour a day can create momentum.

DM me TIME if you’re ready to start.

We were told:

Work hard.
Pay the bills.
Raise the kids.
Wait for retirement.

Yeah… no thanks. 😂

I want to enjoy my life before retirement.

I want travel.
Time with my family.
Financial breathing room.
And something I can continue building for my future.

So that’s exactly what I’m doing.

If this sounds like you, comment ME 👇🏼
