Not your typical midlife blogWelcome!

This isn’t your typical midlife mummy blog filled with ‘must-have’ diets and anti-aging tips.

I’m an endomorph who loves the gym, loves my food, and isn’t interested in influencer gimmicks or one-size-fits-all advice. If you’re ready for honest, relatable insights, and maybe your next ‘aha’ moment, just keep reading.
