Stepping Into My Second Act
Hello and welcome.
My name is Eloise, and I just turned 50. For some, that milestone might feel like a slowing down, a time to stay in your lane and keep the familiar. For me, it feels like a door swinging wide open.
I’ve spent decades living up to expectations—corporate deadlines, family responsibilities, relationships that sometimes cost me more than they gave. But lately, I’ve felt the pull toward something different: reinvention.
Part of this shift came with a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, which put so much of my past into perspective—the struggles with focus, the constant pressure to work harder, the emotional rollercoaster I thought was just “me.” Add to that the whirlwind of perimenopause—hot flashes, mood swings, and all the identity-shaking changes that come with it—and I realized I couldn’t keep moving through life on autopilot.
Turning 50 has cracked something open in me. Instead of seeing this season as an ending, I see it as a beginning. I’m eager to try new things, to explore, to write, to create, and most of all—to share.
This space will be part memoir, part reflection, and part experiment. I’ll be writing about resilience, growth, and the messy, beautiful process of starting over when the world tells you it’s too late. (Spoiler: it’s never too late.)
So if you’re standing at your own crossroads—whether it’s at 30, 50, or 70—I hope you’ll find something here that makes you feel less alone.
Here’s to reinvention, to new beginnings, and to giving ourselves permission to become who we were always meant to be.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
