Hi! I’m Rosie and I am 46 years old. I live in the UK but I am a New Zealander. I have an incredible son at Uni (but now home for the Summer - YAY) and I am a school teacher.
I think I was having a wee mid-life crisis after losing my Dad and my Mum being in the last stages of dementia. Then my boy moved to Uni and for the first time in my life I was on my own. What do woman on there own do??? We binge watch Netflix’s, eat like a junk-food junkie and drink beer.
Interestingly enough, this did not support my goals of being, ‘40 and Fabulous!!!’
So I have hit bottom and in the immortal words from Yazz, ‘The only was is up, Baby, for you and me now!’
Rosie ❤️

Hi!
We have a lot in common...I am 48 and adjusting to my sons getting older and also a Netflix junkie. I feel young inside but I'm tired and my energy is low much of the time. I'm a teacher and taking advantage of summer break to spend time hiking and recharging and decentering myself. Glad to meet you!1 -
Thanks guys! It is lovely to be part of a community that is going through similar things! Amy we are living a very similar existence! I have 6 more weeks and I am my Summer Break too! I am heading back to New Zealand to walk the beaches and I am also going to Fiji to soak up the sun! Glad to have meet you too!
