What does retirement look like for you?

I remember how happy my Dad was when he was able to retire early.

Mum and Dad had big dreams for their retirement. They bought a caravan and enjoyed visiting different parts of New South Wales with their friends and talked about travelling around Australia. They travelled to New Zealand and went on South Pacific cruises. They were also looking forward to going further afield – to Europe and Canada.

Then the unimaginable happened. Mum had a stroke which resulted in her being confined to a wheel chair and requiring full-time care. Forever. Mum was not much older than I am now, and I saw how dramatically my parents’ lives and plans for retirement changed.

Life is too short not to live it now. Because you never know what will happen later.

Since then I have spent more time travelling and doing the things I love.
I am living life to the full now, not when I retire. And I dream of doing more.

But one thing holds me back. Travelling and adventure cost money, and they take time. I have a full-time job which covers the money part, but working full time with only four weeks of annual leave a year means I always feel “time-poor”. Money is no use to you if you don’t have time to enjoy it. But doing the things I love after I have run out of annual leave usually means taking leave without pay.

So I decided that something had to change…

I didn't know what I was looking for but as soon as I saw it I knew I had found the solution that allows me to build an income stream, that can not only fill the gaps, but grow, to replace my current income, so I can stop working full-time.

Time is such a precious commodity and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Now I’m learning how to grow a business online. It’s exciting, fulfilling and best of all a solid plan to take me from where I am now to where I want to be.

I have found a community of women who are all taking their future into their own hands. Who are getting ahead of the economic game and getting valuable time back.

I would love to invite you to a private group to see exactly what I saw, to see what is available in the online world, to see the exact pathway we are taking and the results we are creating.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁… 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜’𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗜’𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.

There was a time when I kept pushing through life on autopilot.
Same routine.
Same expectations.
Same unwritten rules I’d carried for decades.

Work hard.
Be reliable.
Say yes.
Don’t rock the boat.
Be grateful.

And honestly?
Those rules got me far…
but they also burnt me out.

So when I was given the opportunity to take some time out from my career I jumped at it, and I did something completely different for a while.

But when I returned to work after that time out, I knew something had changed.

The turning point didn’t happen in a dramatic moment.
There was no meltdown.
No crisis.

It was a quiet realisation one morning as I sat in my car before work:
“This life doesn’t fit me anymore.”

Not because I wasn’t capable.
Not because I didn’t care.
But because the version of me those rules belonged to…
she had grown.

She wanted different things:
✔ flexibility
✔ time freedom
✔ meaningful work
✔ income that matched her experience
✔ space to breathe
✔ autonomy
✔ the ability to choose her day

But I couldn’t build any of that while still living by old expectations - the ones that kept me overcommitted, undervalued, and running on fumes.

Clarity didn’t come from a grand plan.
It came from asking myself honest questions:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄?
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴?
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲?

Once I got clear on those answers, the path forward became obvious.

Not necessarily easy - but obvious.
And that clarity changed everything.
If you’re in a season where you know the old rules don’t fit anymore…
you’re not lost.
You’re evolving.

💜 If you want to see exactly what I am doing now to build a different life for myself – one that “ticks the boxes” in a good way, come and take a look at my private Facebook group. You will find you are not alone in wanting something different for yourself.

If you’ve been circling the same thoughts for months…
If you keep saying, “I just don’t know what I want next,”…
If decisions feel heavier than they used to…

It's normal:

You’re not indecisive.
You’re out of clarity.

And if you are anything like me - capable, thoughtful, strategic - clarity isn’t optional.
It’s your power source.

When you know what you want, you move differently:
✔ You make decisions faster
✔ You stop wasting energy on the wrong things
✔ You stop tolerating what drains you
✔ You make choices based on alignment, not obligation
✔ You feel more grounded, confident, and in control

Clarity isn’t about having every detail mapped out.
It’s about knowing your direction.

And most women over 45 aren’t confused - they’re overwhelmed.
They’ve spent years responding, accommodating, supporting, and pushing through…

…and in the process, their own needs got buried.

This week is about dusting off those desires and bringing them back into focus.

So if you feel stuck, stalled, or unsure, try asking yourself one simple question today:

“If nothing else mattered, what would I choose next?”

Not what’s practical.
Not what keeps everyone else comfortable.
Not what looks sensible on paper.

What YOU would choose.

Because clarity isn’t found by thinking harder - it’s found by trusting your gut sooner.

💜 If you’re ready for a simple framework to get clear on what you actually want (not what you’ve been conditioned to tolerate), DM me the word CLARITY.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve ticked all the boxes:
✅ Leadership roles
✅ Decent salary
✅ A life that looks successful on paper

…But under the surface, you’re tired.
Tired of doing more with less.
Tired of doing the same stuff different day.
Tired of wondering, “Is this all there is?”

Let me say this clearly:
It’s not too late to do something different.
You don’t have to burn it all down. You don’t have to risk your income or identity.

You just need to start building something of your own - in your own time, with the right support.

That’s exactly what I did.

I’ve started an online business while still working my 9-5.
No cold calling. No awkward sales to friends.
Just a real system, real support, and real women doing life differently.

Now I help women over 45 build sustainable online income streams without burnout.

If you’re ready to explore a better way, I’d love to show you what’s possible.

If you’re looking at your year and thinking that, you're not alone.

But I want you to know something important:

You don’t need a full life overhaul. You just need a reset.

A reset isn’t dramatic.
It’s not quitting your job, moving house, or reinventing yourself overnight.
A reset is simply choosing to show up differently - this week, today, right now.

Here are 3 simple resets that can shift your energy, your focus, and your results before the year ends:

1️⃣ Reset your pace

Slow down long enough to ask yourself What actually matters today?
Not what looks urgent. Not what others expect.
Just what matters.

You’ll be amazed how much clarity comes from pausing - even for 60 seconds.

2️⃣ Reset your boundaries

If you’re exhausted, it’s not because you’re weak.
It’s because you’re saying yes to things that no longer fit the woman you’re becoming.

Try asking yourself: What is one thing I can stop doing this week?

That one “no” will give you more energy than any self-care ritual ever could.

3️⃣ Reset your story

Instead of telling yourself,
“I’m behind,” ask, “What did this year teach me that I can use now?”

You’re not starting over — you’re starting wiser.

These tiny resets might seem small, but they create real momentum.
This is how you end a year feeling empowered instead of defeated.
This is how you step into the next chapter with energy instead of guilt.

You don’t need more time.
You just need a reset. 💜

We’ve been taught to see limits everywhere:
“I don’t have enough time.”
“I don’t have enough money.”
“I’m too old to start again.”

But most limits aren’t real - they’re learned.

I used to believe freedom was for other people - the younger ones, the braver ones, the ones with more time or savings or confidence.
But the truth? Freedom doesn’t come from age, money, or circumstance. It comes from belief.

The moment you stop asking “Can I?” and start asking “How can I?” - everything opens up.

Let’s be honest… when you’re juggling work, family, and a never-ending to-do list, your own priorities often end up at the bottom.

But what if we flipped the script?

One of the most powerful things I ever did was start planning my week around my non-negotiables - instead of squeezing them in after everything else.

Here’s what that looks like:
✔️ Time with loved ones
✔️ Rest and sleep
✔️ My horse rides 🐴
✔️ Focus time for my business
✔️ Time for exercise

These are my "big rocks" (as Dan Martells calls them) - the things that matter most.

And when they go in the calendar first? Everything else flows around them.

If you’re constantly feeling behind, it might not be your time management - it might be your priority placement.

What would your “big rocks” be?

Drop them below or DM me if you want help mapping them into your week.

🚫 Your inbox is NOT your to-do list 🚫

Here’s the trap:
You start your day with an intentional plan.
You know your priorities.
Then you open your email… and suddenly you’re working on everyone else’s priorities instead of your own.

Dan Martell calls the inbox a “public to-do list for strangers.” 💥
And he’s right — if you let it, it will hijack your energy, your focus, and your freedom.

✅ Guard your mornings for your highest-value work.
✅ Set boundaries for when you check messages.
✅ Delegate or filter — don’t let noise dictate your day.

Your calendar should reflect YOUR vision.
Not your inbox. Not someone else’s agenda.

⚡ Take back your time. Lead your day with intention.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟲𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Let’s be real—we all waste 60 minutes a day.

Scrolling. Binge-watching. Overthinking. Running around on autopilot.

It doesn’t always come in one chunk. Sometimes it’s 10 minutes here, 5 minutes there. But it adds up. And most of it? It’s 𝘯𝘰𝘵 changing your life.

So when someone asks me what I do and I say,
“I’ve got a 60-minute webinar that explains it,”
and they respond a few days later with:
“Sorry, I haven’t had time…”

I get it. Life is full.

But if I could shake you by the shoulders (in a gentle, caring way of course 😊), I’d say this:
This might be the most important 60 minutes you’ve come across up until now.

Because for me?

Before I saw that webinar, I was staring down another 10 years in a 9–5, trapped by four weeks of annual leave and no clue how I’d ever get out.

After watching it - and taking action - everything shifted.

I’ve gone from fear and frustration…

To having a plan. A path. A way to retire early and live well.

It really is like living a second life.

So let me ask you again:
When was the last time you invested 60 minutes in something that could actually change your future?

If you’re ready to stop scrolling and start shifting MESSAGE ME.

And I'll show you our latest webinar.

It might just be the best hour you’ve ever spent 😉

𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢?

Back-to-back meetings.
Endless projects.
Always rushing, always available.

That was me too.

People admired my work ethic - “She’s such a hard worker!” - and I wore it like a badge of honour.

And away from work? Multiple committees, always putting my hand up for volunteer roles. Never wanting to say no.

But behind the scenes? I was exhausted. Stressed. Running on fumes. Reacting rather than responding. And the harder I worked, the more stressed I felt.

The turning point came when I realised that hustle doesn’t prove your worth - it just drains your life.

That’s when I learnt to choose mindfulness instead. I stopped glorifying busyness and started working with intention.

💜 I began asking, “What actually matters today?” instead of “How much can I cram into today?”
💜 I started making space for rest, family, and freedom.
💜 And guess what? I achieved more by doing less.

Now, my life feels calmer, clearer, more aligned - and my results are stronger because I’m no longer burning out.

✨ Hustle burns you out.
✨ Mindfulness builds you up.

💜 If you’re ready to step off the hustle treadmill and create freedom through presence - not pressure - DM me the word BALANCE. Let’s talk about what’s possible for you.

Have you ever written down a goal like “I want more freedom” or “I want to earn more money”… and then felt frustrated when nothing changed?

It’s not that you didn’t mean it - it’s just that the goal wasn’t clear enough to act on.

That’s where SMART goals come in. It’s one of the simplest tools I use, and it works every time:

✅ Specific – What exactly do you want? (“I want to lose 5kg.”)
✅ Measurable– How will you track it? (“I’ll know I’ve hit it when I see my goal weight on the scales.”)
✅ Achievable – Is it realistic for where you are now?
✅ Relevant – Does it align with your bigger vision? (“Does this help me fit into my party dress for Christmas?”)
✅ Time-bound – When will you get there? (“In the next 3 months.”)

SMART goals take your vision from vague → to actionable.

Here’s an example:
“I want to lose weight” → “I will take a sandwich each day for lunch instead of getting takeaway and I will park away from the office so I have to walk further.”

Small shifts like this add up to big change.

So tell me - what’s one SMART goal you’re working on right now? Drop it in the comments - I’d love to cheer you on! 💜
