Your Coach, Facilitator and Guide on This Journey

Imagine the best year of your whole life, on repeat.

That’s what flourishing after fifty looks like.

For women navigating career and life transitions after fifty

Are you unsure about your career? Do you want a new job, fewer work hours, or to start a small business?

Are your personal circumstances changing, like becoming an empty nester, caring for grandchildren, or no longer looking after aging parents?

Is retirement approaching, bringing both life and career changes?

Transitions like these are significant in our lives. They can be messy times of change that bring excitement but also feelings of overwhelm, fear, or confusion.

Sometimes transitions STOP you in your tracks or make you feel STUCK.

Flourish After Fifity is here to help you to move past this so you can feel SETTLED and take steps to SOAR in your life.

  • Flourish After 50 for LGBTIQ+ Women

    Sue offers workshops and one day events for LGBTIQ+ women over fifty. Although queer women experience many of the same challenges as others navigating career and life changes, they also face layers of complexity associated with their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. By fostering a safe and affirming space, Flourish After 50 encourages participants to share stories, normalise their experiences, and build networks of support.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
