Just listen to those birds. The crunch of my footsteps. I’m not a ‘listen to something on a walk’ kind of person. My glimmers are those sounds. Lost in my thoughts, while walking the dog after the school run, and conveniently ticking off getting a good chunk of my daily steps in at the same time.
I realised recently that I don’t actually want a hustle lifestyle.
I don’t want to wake up at 4am every day just to squeeze in fitness, work, business and life before rushing through the rest of the day exhausted.
What I actually want is more time, more flexibility, better health, more autonomy, financial breathing space, and to be present while my children are still young enough to want me around.
My eldest will be 18 in two years and that’s shaken me a bit. There’s so much I still want to be able to do with her while she’s still living at home.
I think so many women reach this stage of life and realise they’ve spent years surviving, waiting for “someday” to enjoy life properly.
So this chapter for me is about rebuilding things differently.
Health.
Confidence.
Income.
Freedom.
Energy.
Travel.
Slower mornings.
A calmer life.
Not overnight.
Not perfectly.
But intentionally.
And maybe there are other women feeling exactly the same. ✨
Oh. And one last thing. Are you a headphones on or off kind of walker?
