50 things that woman over 50 need to hear Part 1 🧵
You’re not starting from zero. You’re starting from experience. Years of living, working, and adapting don’t vanish just because you’re beginning something new.

1/ Grief doesn’t arrive quietly. This year I lost my dad and two friends one to cancer, one to a hit-and-run.
It changed me in ways I didn’t expect.

2/ People often don’t know what to say, so they say nothing.
That silence can hurt more than the loss itself.

3/ You can work, parent, support others and still feel broken inside. Functioning isn’t the same as coping.

Moving on from what you thought was “forever” is hard but it’s not the end of your story.
You’re not starting from scratch; you’re starting from experience.
The ending doesn’t erase the meaning — it refines it.
You haven’t failed. You’ve evolved. 🌿💛 #Healing #Resilience

Healthcare leaders: Clarity is care.
Unclear direction creates confusion, stress and risk.
Your team can’t deliver safe, effective care if they’re second-guessing what you mean.
Say it simply.
Repeat it often.
Make it stick.

Missed my stop again. 😅
But somewhere between frustration and fatigue, I realised…
Maybe I didn’t miss anything. Maybe I just found a moment to breathe. 💙

“Healing isn’t forgetting — it’s accepting.”
You don’t erase the past — you learn from it.
Healing is the moment you stop wishing it was different and start living with what is.
That’s real freedom.

It didn’t start with abuse.
It started like a fairytale. 💙
They mirrored you, loved you, then broke you — not because you were too much,
but because they were too small.

If they wanted to, they would. 💔
Sometimes it’s not about you at all.
They didn’t see your worth, weren’t ready for your love, or chose comfort over growth.
You didn’t lose your person — you made space for peace.

When I finally went no contact with my ex (again) I realised something important.
I wasn’t asking too much of him
I was asking the wrong man.
You can love deeply and still not be loved right. 💙

September is #SickleCellAwareness Month. SCD is the UK’s most common inherited blood condition, yet stigma & inequalities persist. Awareness saves lives—recognise pain crises early, treat with dignity, and challenge bias. #SickleCellUK #HealthInequalities
