Turning 40: Thoughts on Ageing, Expectations, and Life Not Being Figured Out Yet
Episode 96
Sunday, 15 March, 2026
If you'd like a little extra support in this season of motherhood, you're warmly invited to book a free 30-minute Breakthrough Call with me. It's a gentle, no-pressure space where we can explore what support might look like for you and what could help you move forward in a way that feels sustainable and aligned with your life right now. Turning 40 has a way of making you pause and reflect. In this episode, I'm sharing some honest thoughts about ageing, expectations, and the pressure many of us feel to have life completely figured out by now. When I was younger, I imagined that by 40 I would have everything mapped out, the perfect career, a balance between work and family, and a clear sense of who I was. But the truth is, life rarely unfolds exactly the way we imagine it. As a mum of four, I've realised that growing older isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning to embrace the messy, beautiful journey of becoming. In this episode, I talk about: • What I thought life would look like at 40 • The myth that everyone else has it all figured out • The unexpected lessons that come with getting older • Why not having a perfect plan can actually be freeing • How motherhood changes your relationship with time, identity, and growth If you've ever looked at your life and wondered, "Shouldn't I have this figured out by now?" this conversation is for you. Because the truth is, none of us has it all figured out. And maybe we're not meant to. This is a gentle, honest reflection on ageing, motherhood, identity, and learning to trust your own path.
