Hi, I’m Bé. Welcome to my blog!
After 10 years of working between Portugal and Germany, I decided to be a stay-at-home mom. And for 20 years, that kept me busy and happy (most of the time, anyway). Between two kids and a few times moving around between the two countries and between cities, I can assure you it was never a dull moment. But life has taken its course, and here I am, empty nesting the best I can.
Throughout the years I kept accumulating big and small frustrations that challenged me. But I either did not have the time to deal with them, did not know how, or didn´t even know it could be addressed in the first place…
As the children start to transition into adulthood, I decided to further educate myself. I was always a curious type of person, and now I had the time to learn.
I realized this is the moment in life I could restart and rewrite my life again (as I did so many times before). And this time I have both the advantage and disadvantage of being older.
Can you relate? You know what you want, and you sure know what you don’t want, but still struggle with everyday life. Trying to keep up with all the stuff, big and small, doing your best, but too often feeling it isn’t enough anyway. Well, you are not alone! Believe me when I say, in one way or another, this is common to most of us in midlife.
Is there a way to break free from this pattern? I really believe so.
Did I discover the magic formula that will solve all our problems? No, I haven’t. I’m afraid it might not exist… But what I know is that taking small steps every day can change a lot over time!
Let me take you on a journey of finding out these small steps and improving our lives day by day.
Picking a fight at a time, and slowly addressing each problem, until you feel that you are on the right path. Then choosing the next one in line. This step by step approach can bring us a long way, without feeling overwhelming.
Some of the content you will find in my blog will be things I already do and have proven to be helpful in my life. Some will be the result of my research and science-based response to some of the problems we have to deal with as midlife women.
I deeply believe our 50s are more than an opportunity to grow, they are a chance to reinvent ourselves, if we choose to. The path isn’t always easy and sure is not happening in a blink of an eye, but it is totally worth it!
Let’s take this journey together – I’d love to hear from you!
