I’m Emma, I’m turning 50 this year and somehow still surprised every time I catch my reflection and see a grown-up staring back. I mostly feel 35 even if my hips tell me otherwise! This blog is part online journal, part how-to guide, and part “dear god, is it just me or is midlife completely bonkers?”
I think I’ve gathered a fair bit of knowledge over the years (some useful, some absolutely pointless), and this is where I’m choosing to dump it all, generously, with a side of sarcasm and the occasional well-placed swear word.
I write about whatever’s rattling around my head that day, from life advice to hormonal chaos, from relationships to living in a new country, from anxious palpitations to actually I’ve completely got this. Expect us to bounce around a huge array of subjects.
If you’re a woman somewhere around the middle of your life, trying to balance being wise and unravelling at the same time — you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about all of it. Laugh, rant, maybe cry a little, and feel less alone in the madness.
Welcome to my brain. Make a coffee and get comfy.
