In 2017 I started to write for myself as a hobby, a creative outlet. Swiftly, it also became a self help project from an earnest search for menopause information. When I couldn’t find anything that was when I started to record my own journey.

As recent as 2017-18 there was very little information and certainly no stories of what other women were experiencing.

Davina had’t been on TV yet.

I won an award for it, too early on. What a thrill that was.

I found I really enjoyed documenting lifestyle stuff like travel and interiors along with general midlife musings and opinions.

Basically, that’s what you’ll get from me .. a life much like yours .. things that make me happy, things that make me sad and all the in between.

I went a bit further and spoke at a Tedx event about menopause, sex, careers, gendered ageism, invisibility and much more.

Fancy joining me?

I'm a passionate advocate for women's visibility and empowerment, particularly for those over 50.

What I’m hoping for here is to connect with more midlife and later life women who have a lot to say and think just like me. I love Instagram for the fabulous connections I’ve made and so I’m hoping that my little corner of Substack can give me more of that.

I’m feel more confident than ever. On my Instagram profile I’ve used ‘Older & Bolder Era’ in my description of me. It’s right. I want to be bolder by showing up and using my voice to advocate for ageing on our own terms. We deserve it.

Let’s just see what happens, hey?

Stay up-to-date with me

What I also love about Substack … what don’t I seem to love? It’s the ways in which it seems to help us connect. Every new edition of my newsletter will go directly to your inbox.

There’s more newness coming to Substack all the time that seems will help us connect even more.

It’s a disrupter for sure.

For now I feel this is where I need to be.

I hope you’ll join me.
