Over fifty? Do you still have goals and dreams you want to achieve? Glad to hear it!It’s easy to think that as we age, our aspirations must be dimmed like a firefly as dawn approaches.But it’s not true. I have done and achieved just as much in the years since I turned 50 as I did as a much younger woman. Your dreams might be enormous, life-changing or teeny-tiny. It doesn’t matter. Having them – that’s what matters. Keeping your mind positive and focused helps. As the band Journey once said, ‘Don’t stop believing,’ and anything can happen. (By the way, that was my ‘keep going’ song when I trained for and ran the London marathon.) Is there something to help with this focus? Yes – you are in luck. A vision board!Now, you might be rolling your eyes wondering why I’m suggesting a vision board as a way of achieving anything. Well, it’s because they work. They have the power to transform your aspirations into reality. Seriously.If you want to know why, my latest video explains everything, including how to create one. What have you got to lose? Making a vision board is fun, and with the right attitude, it can work wonders.To watch, click here: https://lnkd.in/ensU2mKNJulie #visionboard #mindset #dreams #goals #womanover50 #achieveyourgoals

From corporate doubts to freedom and joy – my journeyWhen I decided to step away from my corporate job, the reactions around me were a mix of disbelief and criticism. After all, I was leaving behind a highly-paid position, jeopardising my comfortable life. But I knew deep down that I had a different path to tread, which would lead me to self-employment and personal growth. I had a vision for my life that I couldn't ignore any longer. I told myself that if it didn't work out, I'd simply get another job - anything to ensure we could pay the bills. Thankfully, I never needed to revoke that 'get out' clause.Admittedly, I made some mistakes along the way. The niches I initially ventured into, despite attracting a good number of clients, didn't align with my true passions. They were safe choices, a reflection of the corporate experience I had accumulated over 15 years. But I realised that true success comes from following your heart, not from playing it safe. Although I wasn't doing what I wanted to initially, that time taught me a lot about running a business, finding clients, etc., so nothing about what I was doing was wasted. However, I had a different dream that started as a speck of an idea in 2015 – yes, nearly nine years ago! It took until December 2023 to decide to go all in with it. Yikes! Today, I stand here, proud and fulfilled, having taken that leap of faith seven years ago. The journey has been incredible, filled with its fair share of challenges and triumphs. It's a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy of pursuing your true passion. It took confidence, too, something that waxed and waned. I was full of it one minute and on my knees the next. This is pretty typical, I think. The only change I would make is to have confidence in and focus on my big dream earlier, as now there's more competition, and I'm a lot older! Please learn from my mistake! Those who were sceptical when I said goodbye and closed the door to working for someone else for good are mostly still where I left them. Many no longer have any passion for what they do, which is a shame when so many alternative opportunities are open to us now. I'm eager to hear about your journeys and the risks you've taken to pursue your dreams. Don't hesitate to share your stories in the comments below. Let's inspire each other!Julie #dreambig #newstart #lifecoach

✨ Unlock your radiant skin ✨Glowing, healthy skin reflects your well-being and confidence - and who doesn’t want that? One of the most powerful methods to rejuvenate your skin at home is acid exfoliation (don’t panic, it won’t burn your skin off). This type of exfoliation helps shed the outer layer of dead cells, unveiling healthy skin underneath.Try using glycolic acid for normal to dry skin or salicylic acid for oily, breakout-prone skin. Always start with a low-strength product and gradually increase as your skin adapts. As you embark on your journey to reveal your skin's true radiance, remember this crucial step: sunscreen. It's not just a recommendation; it's a must. Sunscreen is your shield, protecting your newly revealed skin from the harsh effects of the sun.Have you tried acid exfoliation?

Eat more nuts! It's official - nuts are amazing. Apparently, they are not as fattening as we thought (hurrah!), and each type delivers a different healthcare benefit.A group of scientists in the USA has discovered that we should eat 30g of nuts each day, and I am very pleased about that. I love nuts!You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eBDrKMuF Julie #nuts #healthylifestyle #stayinghealthy

Your values are your compass!Personal values shape who we are, guiding our decisions, actions, and interactions. They help us stay true to ourselves, maintain integrity, and build meaningful connections. In this video, shot from the back of my motorbike, I explore how values are the foundation of a fulfilling life and allow you to impact the world positively. And why, if you’re not true to your values, life can feel pretty grim. It’s time to embrace exactly who you were meant to be. Watch here: https://lnkd.in/e4q3fi9c Do you recognise your values?

This is an interesting take on women on TV. I'd never really thought about it before, but yes, the author of this article is correct. Many of the actors present a more accurate picture of womanhood. What do you think?Julie https://lnkd.in/eMkBjnny
