Middle-age (I know—I'm cringing just writing this!) often brings significant life transitions for women, such as navigating perimenopause, making a career change, experiencing an empty nest, and realizing you're not as happy as you hoped to be at this stage of life.
AS A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN NAVIGATING PERIMENOPAUSE, LIVING SOLO AND GOING THROUGH BIG RECENT LIFE CHANGES MYSELF, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH!
These transitions can trigger feelings of anxiety, depression, frustration, and isolation, making it challenging to cope alone.
Women and partnered couples choosing to be childfree has become a more popular route for various reasons. No, it doesn't make you selfish, or a bad person. Many of us prefer other pursuits in life—and that's valid!
You may or may not want to be single, but while you are, instead of feeling miserable because society has told women they're "less than" if they're not partnered, let's embrace this time in our lives to do all the things we desire and find happiness in our sweet freedom!
I want you to know that you're not alone in this journey. I’m here to support you in finding balance, embracing your choices, being bold, and discovering your strength during this transformative stage of life.
For some women, life has become a daily battle with anxiety, depression, and the constant feeling of being unappreciated. Whether it’s at work, in relationships, or in the roles you fill, you often feel taken advantage of or overlooked.
These struggles leave you questioning your worth and feeling burdened by self-doubt and exhaustion. You crave validation and rest, yet you continue giving more than you receive. All you want is for someone else in your life that you care for 24/7 to recognize all you do for them, acknowledge it, and step up to help you out without having to be asked.
From a young age, you questioned whether motherhood was really for you or not, despite societal and cultural expectations propelling you in that direction. As you grew older, you realized that choosing to be childfree is an act of self-love and empowerment.
While others might question your decision, you are thrilled with it, knowing that you are living the life that makes you truly happy.
This choice doesn’t mean that you despise children or don’t love being a badass auntie. After all, you still get to be a fun and fabulous role model for all the children and young adults in your life.
You spent years searching for that “special someone,” holding onto the hope of a fulfilling relationship. But after countless disappointments, you’ve decided to shift your focus inward. Instead of waiting for love from someone else, you’re choosing to find joy in your own company, passions, and friendships.
You are SO OVER people blaming you for not putting yourself out there more, for being too picky, or being made to feel that there’s something terribly wrong with you that you need to “fix” in order to attract a partner.
You don’t want to completely give up hope that you’ll ever meet someone, but in the meantime, you need a damned break from the soul-crushing experiences of online dating!
