Turn your life around one page at a time.
I’m Carolyn- a busy mid-lifer whose greatest joy is to find clarity and peace in the pages of my latest journal.
Welcome to Write Yourself Calm -a cosy space where you can pause, breathe, and write your way back to yourself.
A World of My Own
As a sensitive, shy young girl, writing was my retreat. I created stories that comforted me when life felt too harsh.
Then, as I grew up and started a career in teaching English, I turned to journalling as an outlet for my emotional world.
I could vent, I could ponder, I could dream.
Every Sunday night, I’d write about my week – the ups and downs, the little life lessons I’d learnt, the new approach I wanted to try next time. It made me feel like my life was a meaningful journey, not just a hamster wheel.
I was obviously a big fan of stripes back in the day!!
Heartbreak
When my lovely Mam sadly passed away at the age of 72, her death affected me profoundly. Though Mam had enjoyed a rich inner life and we had many wonderful memories, midlife stress had taken a severe toll on her body and mind.
A series of health crises, her caring responsibilities for her own parents and her ongoing reluctance to put herself first had left her depleted.
Your midlife revolution
Mam’s experiences ignited a spark in me.
I’m passionate about helping women like you and I to embrace this new season and write our way into calmness, balance and joy.
