About Me

I’m Tanya and I am going through a mid-life identity crisis!

I haven’t been feeling myself and have been struggling for about a year with a shift internally that I haven’t been able to define. There has been a lot of change in me, my circumstances, my body and career and I just don’t feel like me anymore.

And I FINALLY figured out what is wrong with me….

I am going through an identity crisis, or more accurately a ‘mid-life’ identity crisis.

And I am pretty sure that I am not alone!

You see, I think when I hit 50 something shifted (and I am not just talking about my arse).

The dreaded M word (menopause) is part of it but it is about much more than that. I feel like I’m in a bit of a limbo between the last years of my career (which has always been deeply engrained in my identity) and what the next phase might look like as we slow down and either give up work or dabble in our passions.

I am a multi passionate entrepreneur and still love what I do, but the way I used to identify with myself has changed and I don’t really know to get back to being 100% me. Or if I just need to embrace this newer version of me.

I’ve been experiencing a bunch of small and subtle changes but like anything when there are small changes, it creeps on you until all of a sudden you see the bigger picture. And damn – I am suddenly feeling like I’m experiencing a midlife identity crisis!

So, what am I going to do about it?

I am going to totally push myself out of my comfort zone and share my journey. I am very uncomfortable with being vulnerable so that is exactly why I am starting this website and podcast…to talk about it, the good, the bad, and the droopy!

If you are 50 and over (or even if you are approaching that milestone), join me as I not only share my journey but try to help women over 50 to deal with this midlife identity crisis that many of us face. (And you never know it might also morph into another book).

Let’s see where this project takes us.
