If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? 

“Extenuating circumstances aside: What is stopping you from closing the gap between the world you inhabit, and the one you never explored, but wish you did?”

______

Monique van Tulder knows this generation of mid-life women have had enough. With helicopter parenting, juggling careers (perhaps professional life taking a backseat), or caring for aging family members, it’s time for second-act women to spend resources and time on themselves. Yeah!!

Monique is leading Conversations on Mid-Life Wellbeing Teaching others on how to expand a mid-life in joy and creating space for themselves, encouraging them to design their guidebook for A Grown Ups Gap Year.

Authentically sharing her story of mid-life reinvigoration - her own Eat Pray Runaway & Return adventure (she abandoned her family for eight months) - Monique’s wisdom inspires other women to prioritise health & well-being, financial literacy, retirement or professional life, and of course, travel retreats and adventure also! 

Monique leads an engaged online community of like-minded mid-age women who want to regain control of their lives. Her mantra: “Now, is your time” sounds like just the antidote for many of us living a life seemingly for others & not ourselves. Let’s find out more from the wonderful Monique van Tulder. 

Her book ‘A Grown Ups Gap Year’ 101 Really Practical Journeys for Navigating mid-life (I wish someone told me) will be available June 2024 (The Wellbeing Travel Guide series).
