Embracing the Empty Nest: Preparing for a New Chapter This week was a whirlwind. My eldest just turned 17, and our home was filled with celebration, laughter, and joy. Yet, amidst the fun, there was a hint of sadness. My children are growing up, and with that, the role of a mother begins to shift. As they step into their own lives, I sometimes feel like I’m playing catch-up, wondering if I’m showing up too late, or if I’m letting them down by not being as involved as before.

Making Your Successes Last As women, parents, and carers, our lives are filled with countless moments of joy, triumph, and personal growth. However, these intangible experiences can often feel fleeting and hard to grasp.

By making our memories and achievements more concrete, we not only honour our journeys but also share our stories with those around us.

In the hustle and bustle of chasing our dreams, figuring out whether we’re being courageous or just plain reckless can be tricky. It’s a crucial difference that can make or break our journey. Knowing where that line lies can help us make choices that are not only bold, but also smart. Whether you’re a woman smashing through barriers or anyone trying to make wise decisions, understanding this can be your secret weapon for tackling lifes challenges with confidence and clarity.
