If you’re approaching 50—or already there—you may have felt a shift you can’t quite explain. Many of us Gen X women suddenly wake up to lives that no longer fit. What once brought joy now feels heavy, especially when it’s rooted in pleasing others. I know this feeling well; at 54, I’ve walked through that fire of friction and asked myself, “What the f*** happened?”

The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough

For me, this transition came with a deep depression. At the time, I couldn’t make sense of it. Later, I realised how much hormonal changes and perimenopause had shaped the storm. What felt like a loss of joy became, in hindsight, an invitation: to declutter, to pivot, and to step into my wise woman energy. It wasn’t easy—change never is—but the peace and clarity I gained were worth every uncomfortable step.

Stepping Into Power, Together

Approaching 50 isn’t something to resist. It’s a privilege. When we surrender to the transformation, we create space for authenticity, intention, and deep self-love. And most importantly—we show up. Too many of us shrink back when the world needs us to shine. That’s why I built my coaching business and community: to empower women, to normalise this transition, and to remind us that together we can change the world.

When I was in one of the darkest moments of my journey, discovering my Human Design chart was like a light switching on. It helped me understand myself in ways I’d never been able to before — and honestly, it changed the trajectory of my life and business.

If you’ve ever felt like you were walking in the fog or trying to fit into ways of working that just don’t feel right, this might be the gentle nudge you’ve been waiting for.

✨ You can get your own Human Design chart for free online. Dive in, explore, be curious — it could open doors you didn’t even know were there.
