This week I ‘lost’ a client. Actually, I lost the one remaining client I had in my freelance work as an HR Wellbeing Consultant. Now don't worry, it's all been left on very good terms and we've already pencilled in some dates late in the year when we might work together again. But that line of work has pretty much come to an end. I shared a post last week with my birthday reflections on the past year and lessons I knew I needed to carry forward. You can read it here: One Year Closer To Wisdom One of those lessons was to GO. ALL. IN. Particularly in my business, where I'd been holding onto a ‘safety net’ of corporate clients from my former career. It all seemed so much more credible and safe than ‘going all in’ to build a coaching business & community for midlife women. Even though that has been my Empowered Vision for 5 years now. Another life lesson was Letting Go. And sometimes, if you don't let go and get out of your own way, life has a way of doing it for you. Making space for new experiences and making you Go All In. Making a career change is hard. Working on your own is hard. Especially when the menopause has not so gently knocked your confidence down a few notches. So this quote is top of my mind this week: “Keep going. Because you didn't come this far just to come this far.”
It's time to Go All In on my vision. Come with me…. |

“If you decide that you're going to be happy from now on for the rest of your life, you will not only be happy, you will become enlightened. Unconditional happiness is the highest technique there is."

I don't know how it is that I'm only reading this book now. It has been on my reading list FOR-EVER. But I believe that books come to you either when you need them most, or when you're ready for them.
I think both are true for me right now. I'm feel like I'm scrambling around in the dark a little, working on Authenticity (another life lesson). Who Am I? Who are we before life and society condition us and shape us. And after Fifty-ish years of life, how do we peel away all of those layers to rediscover who we are at our core?
💌 Answers on a postcard please! Or join me in reading this book. Only 4 chapters in, I'm reading almost every sentence twice and find it truly enlightening on my path to unconditional happiness. |

Some hugely exciting news in the menopause space this week. The FDA have approved a revolutionary non hormonal alternative, Veozah which treats moderate to severe hot flashes from menopause. This is big news for those unable to take HRT (hormone replacement therapy). You can read more here from hotflashinc. If you don't already follow, Ann Marie McQueen is a health journalist with 25 years experience. I have absolutely no affiliation with her but I like her writing. She's going through the menopause herself, her posts are research based and she does the research we don't have time for. But don't forget to come back to The Messy Middle! 😄 |
