Midlife can be miserable at times. How do you navigate intense change, and find the will to point yourself in the direction you want to go when you've run of of energy and ideas?
Thank you - this really hit home. I’ve stepped away from work to try and find… myself? My purpose? To heal.
With nothing filling my diary (and I’m off all social media) the NOISE is so loud. My brain is flooded.
There are moments of pure joy and calm, but I have to be honest it’s mostly self-critical. It was so, so helpful to hear you reflect on this.
Life is always a mixture of all emotions, but I’m hoping to stay still for long enough for more joy to come to the surface. As you say, the only way out is through.
It’s tough - but this has given me hope. Thanks 🙏🏻
Love the idea is keeping your anchors down when you make a big leap, something I didn’t have when my marriage ended 14 years ago. This was great to watch/listen, especially as my daughter is off to uni soon and is also a single child, so I can relate. I’ve been thinking of relocating for some time and I think I’ll just have to do it! Thanks for sharing your wise words Suzy and Nikki!

Thanks Kate. Yes, an interesting time. I can recommend Northumberland.
It feels like everyone on Substack is there! Some of my ancestors came from there so I’m sure I’ll visit! ☺️
Come and visit and I will show you round. x
Would love to! ☺️
