The definition of a midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle-aged individuals, typically 45 to 65 years old. A psychological ‘crisis’ brought about by events that highlight a person’s growing age, inevitable mortality, and possibly lack of accomplishment in their life.

Allow ourselves time to indulge our creativity, to nourish ourselves physically and spiritually and share our gift and joy with our community.
PLEASE don’t sign up for things without really digging deep and finding out your options.
From wardrobes and diets to work routines and travel plans, now is the time to change it up
I love to pick specific global communities to support workers in a country of my choice. This ties in with my ethics policy of giving back.
The temptation when you reach midlife is to look back at what you’ve achieved.
That’s great. If you’ve achieved things, fantastic.
But those days have been and gone. They’re behind you. It’s time now to look forward.
No more ‘rose-coloured glasses’ conversations that begin with ‘Do you remember when…’
The second book in my thriller Jezzabelle Jones Series is out now. How good would you feel if your book was published?
