You might have followed the breadcrumbs and only got to the thing that is truly you, your unique gift to our planet but 10 years later form the first step, and at 51? This Is Lou’s story… Lou from Luinluland left Brighton U.K and moved to Portland Oregon with her husband and then 10 year old son. Since then Lou has created a space for women to come together & empower them to find fresh & exciting new ways to get through life - growing into middle age with optimism & energy, founded in gratitude, truth and a celebration of joy. Luinluland is a place to inspire you to shake your life up, step out of your comfort zone, in your style, in your health & wellbeing & it’s a place to come to feel all the feels. 1. You might not be able to help what life’s thrown at you – we rarely do, but we do get to control how we react.  . 2. Put both feet into change – join groups that you’re interested in. . 3. What can you do now with what you have? Start where you are.  . 4. Being positive and saying yes to everything leads to a more interesting and aligned path – follow those breadcrumbs. . 5. Life isn’t over when you hit menopause, it’s only just started!  It’s a new exciting chapter.  . 6. See the change as something positive! Lots of your life is in your mindset.  . 7. Life can be exciting embrace your new menopause chapter! It’s your time now to put yourself first.  . 8. There is so much joy in Community with a common purpose. . 9. If you’re struggling, write down each small positive thing that happened to you that day. . 10. If you have a habit that you know needs to stop and is hurting you, change your daily routine too, your route home, the coffee shop you go to, the magazines you buy. . Your inspired ideas and action are very different to the doing – the marketing, or admin action, the negative imposter syndrome will be loud then, learn to ignore it and take each step in the unknown, it’s our brains trying to keep us safe.  . 12. If you’re scared, you’re doing it right, if you’re not, then you aren’t that bothered.  . 13. Open yourself up and you’ll find different paths, follow those breadcrumbs.  If you’re in LA this week be sure to get to Lou’s amazing event.  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/luchella-a-self-love-revolution-weekender-tickets-297094035257 https://www.luinluland.com
