In August this year I took a month off from my business to recharge, reflect and switch my brain off after a tiering first half of the year (thanks Covid19)!

I came back to my work in September feeling totally recharged and far more creative and inspired. I also came back to lots of questions about how I planned ahead for my month off and how I made it happen, which is what I'm sharing in this episode.

In my work with clients who are nearing their forties, or 40+ there’s often an additional hurdle that comes up, it’s that feeling of ‘I should have everything figured out by now, so why am I building a new business / pivoting my business’?

Tamu combines her social work experience with her life coach training to help women boost their wellbeing at 40+. So, who better to talk to me about this topic!
