Hi, I'm Wendy...
If the empty nest feels heavier than you expected, you’re not alone, I’ve felt that weight too.
After years of infertility and the joy of adopting my beautiful daughter from South Africa, I had always imagined a house filled with siblings and the constant hum of family life. But when she left home, the silence was deafening. I realised I couldn’t just sit in the quiet, I had to actively seek out new passions, connections and purpose to fill my days and my heart.
Through daily mindset shifts and intentional choices, I rebuilt a life that felt vibrant and meaningful. Now, I help other women do the same creating a next chapter that’s calm, clear and filled with things that truly light them up.
