It’s been a little while since I’ve shared here.

To be honest, I’ve been living more than posting.

There have been seasons of healing, learning, letting go, and rediscovering parts of myself I thought I’d lost.

One of the biggest things I’ve realised is this...

For years, I believed that getting older meant losing a part of myself. That desire, confidence, sensuality, and vitality naturally faded with age.

But that hasn’t been my experience at all.

After navigating perimenopause, menopause, a hysterectomy, and everything that came with it, I realised my desire hadn’t disappeared.

It had simply been buried beneath years of being busy, overgiving, carrying the mental load, and forgetting to choose myself.

Today, I feel more like me than I have in a very long time.

Not because life is perfect.

But because I’ve stopped apologising for taking up space, asking for what I need, and honouring the woman I’m becoming.

If you’re in a season of change, please know this...

Your best years don’t have to be behind you.

Sometimes they’re waiting on the other side of choosing yourself.

I’d love to hear from you.

What has this season of your life been teaching you? 🤍
