Helloooo! 👋 A bit more about me if you're new around here

I'm here on Substack to find my tribe or maybe we'll start a tribe.

Here’s me … Tedx Speaker On Age Inclusivity & Longevity | Award Winning OG Midlife Blogger| Female Biz Founder | Digital Wellbeing Educator & Digital Carbon Literacy Trainer | Empowering Late Diagnosed ADHD Women | Northern Brit

I started writing my original blog ‘Best Before End Date’ in 2017 with the tagline, Not Past My Expiry Date’.

It was a tongue in cheek nod to where we see ‘use by’ and ‘sell by’ dates on food products. I  turned it into this idea of expiry dates meaning we’re only  ‘good enough’ until we reach a certain age.  I wanted to share the message that I’m still here, showing up, being bold with my own positive ageing message.

I write about life STUFF that I think you can relate to .. things that make me happy, things that make me sad, keep me curious, make me belly laugh, make me cry, feed my soul, keep me learning and all the in between.

I won an award for blogging in my first year of writing and creating and then got a bit side tracked with life. Actually, it was the menopause combined with a very late in life ADHD diagnosis.

Substack is my newest place for writing and sharing on the internet.

But it’s actually so much more than that. I hope that it might also become the start of building a community of women just like me.

I’m here to find my tribe and maybe even start a tribe. I even have a name for it.

Here you’ll find ‘Stacks’ of midlife musings and navigating life experiences that I hope interest you.

I think we’re all quite similar in our needs and wants and goals at this stage of our lives.

Oh and in case you didn’t know … I love challenging the shelf life label that society tries to stick on us as we get past 50.

Hoping to make the well trodden path easier for young women, too.
