Hey lovely people! Let me reintroduce myself…

I’m Vikki, a 45-year-old navigating the chaos of midlife with a mix of laughter, tears, and far too much wine and coffee. I’m a mum to 6 amazing kids, a proud grandma to 4 beautiful grandkids, and currently on a journey of rediscovery as I figure out who the hell I am beyond “Mum.” For 28 years, that was my identity, but now that the kids are grown and flying the nest, I’ve been left asking, “Who is Vikki anymore?”

A while back, I shared this:

"Anyone else having a midlife crisis, or is it just me? I’ve come to the realisation that I’m smack dab in the middle of one, and honestly, my whole life feels like a made-up bullshit dream. Is this what they call a midlife crisis? Because when I asked my husband, he told me that only men get those and I’m just ‘depressed.’ (Thanks for the insight, babe. Super helpful.)"

Since then, I’ve discovered so much about myself. Life has been a rollercoaster, with health challenges, financial struggles, and the nagging feeling that I’m not where I thought I’d be. My career is on pause, I’ve never owned my own house, and let’s not even get started on the 18 years I spent with the wrong man.

But here’s what I’ve realised: midlife isn’t the end—it’s a chance to rewrite the story. I’ve poured my heart into my book, I’m connecting with amazing women like you, and I’m learning that it’s okay to feel all the feels. We don’t have to fake it or keep quiet anymore.

If you can relate to any of this—the laughter, the chaos, or the WTF is happening to my life? moments—know this: you’re not alone. We’ve got this, one day at a time. Let’s figure it out together, with plenty of laughs and maybe a glass (or three) of wine along the way.

Thanks for being here with me—I’m so glad we’re on this journey together!
