Be the star of your own story. This space is about embracing who you truly are, finding confidence in your own choices, and shaping a life that reflects your unique path.
As I navigate a career transition, particularly job searching over 55, this space becomes a place for reflection—not just on work, but on personal growth, family, and the evolving story of who we are. Some posts will focus on strategies for career shifts, while others will explore experiences from being a Nanny, life’s unexpected turns, and the insights that shape us along the way.
Now, I’ve stepped into my own version of that role—I am "Nanny" to my grandson, a title that carries deep meaning in my life. It’s about passing on that same sense of support, reminding others that they have the strength to make choices that truly align with who they are.
This space honors the spirit of carving your own path—the quiet courage to challenge expectations, the unwavering support that lifts others up, and the strength to embrace life on your own terms. Inspired by my mum, Nannette, who defied the conservative values of her generation with grace and determination, this space carries forward the encouragement and reassurance she shared so freely. It’s for those who choose to walk their own way, shaping a story that is truly their own.
If you’ve ever felt like life’s expectations don’t quite fit, or wondered what it would look like to follow what truly inspires you, this space is for you. Let’s explore, reflect, and build a life that feels true to who we are.
This is your story—so make your star shine.
