Welcome to The Right Alongside You Journal — a cosy corner for midlife women ready to slow down, breathe, and rediscover themselves through the messy, magical, and meaningful shifts of life.
Here, I share stories from my own journey and from other women navigating perimenopause, motherhood, and creative rediscovery. I also explore how technology can deepen, not replace, our human connection helping you to use Ai as your self coaching assistant — helping reflection, reconnection, and find meaning in the small moments.
Think of it as a chat over tea with a friend who gets it — no judgement, no pressure, just real talk, a few laughs, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
So, grab a cuppa, settle in, and let’s find our flow again, one small shift at a time.
