My Badass Midlife

A combination of a New Year and the possible start of a midlife crisis triggered by the thought of approaching my final year of my 40’s. Seriously when the hell did I become middle aged!?! I can tell you now it led to some soul searching around where I was at and what the hell was I doing with the rest of my life.

I have always considered myself to be driven, smashing through goals I’d set for myself. Goals like running a marathon (well half marathon) a triathlon, losing 20kg and coming second in a body transformation following the break up of my 16yr marriage. All quite inspiring at the time however, I’m not going to lie I’ve not been quite so driven over the past 4-5years or so, the weight I lost began to sneak back on, dreams of writing a book, becoming a life coach/Inspirational speaker and a few others slipped by the wayside as I slowly lost my drive and passion for life

What was wrong with me?

I found I was telling myself things like, it’s too hard with the kids (3 of them) living with me full time, I can’t do it by myself, I don’t have enough time, I’m tired, I don’t have any motivation, I’ll start again tomorrow etc etc

I would get inspired to do something then the motivation would slowly fizzle out. I ended up with so many unfinished projects, including a coaching course I’d developed but didn’t promote, an affiliate marketing company I established but didn’t follow through with, courses I’d started to do myself and didn’t complete, multiple half arse attempts to re lose the excess KG and regain my fitness, the list of failures goes on.

So there I was at the end of 2021 looking in the mirror thinking WTF happened…..what went so wrong in the past 5 years? I knew it was time to do something about it. To not just keep reading motivational quotes or listen to words of wisdom on youtube/podcasts but to put it all into action.

So that’s whats happening….this lazy ass middle aged woman is going to transform into a badass middle aged woman. A badass woman who is fit, confident and knows she wants in life and wont stop until I get it. I am taking control of my life and working on becoming the best version of me.
