A course for women in their middle years ready to shed expectations, rediscover themselves, and write the words that are authentically theirs.
Maybe you’ve started to write, but the words on the page aren't quite yours. Maybe you haven't yet started, but you have reached that stage in your life where now, you are ready to be heard.
But something is telling you that you can’t. You don’t know how. You don’t have permission.
And what would you even say?
I thought it was too late to start
In my early years, I never even had time to think about writing. And to be honest, when I look back at myself in my 30s, the truth that I wrote wouldn’t have been mine. I wasn’t ready. It wasn’t until I hit my 40s that I began to wonder if everything I had learned about how to exist in the world might have been…not for me.
Now I am a published author, teacher, and a woman who is thoroughly enjoying her 50s.
I realised that a disturbingly large amount of what I had been taught about how to be a ‘good’ woman/ person/wife/ mother was rubbish. That so much of what society tells us is designed to make us quiet, keep the peace, and be someone else entirely.
And so we lose our voice, our spark and our authenticity.
Course curriculum
Now, it’s time to write that voice into existence.
Through 6 self paced lessons, I will guide you through the internal shifts that help make your writing your own;
- Recognition
- Authority
- Discernment
- Vulnerability
- Confidence
- Identity
Each lesson will include a reflection where I’ll talk about my experiences, how we write from each of the spaces listed above, and what we need to do to step into who we are authentically as writers. There will be a several prompts for each lesson, so you’ll be able to leap straight into writing. Because (and I've tried to find ways around this but it's the only way, ) you learn to write by… writing.
Included is a workbook, with both the prompts from the course, extra exercises for when you are ready to tackle them, and lined pages so you can keep everything in the one place.

What people are saying
When I stopped trying to sound like the woman I thought I should be, then my real voice came out
— Bel H
I cried, and then I wrote the most honest things I’ve ever written. It reminded me who I was before I learned to be careful
— Fiona C
I came to improve my writing, but I ended up reclaiming a part of myself. The words I’m writing now feel alive in a way they never did before.
