If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “Extenuating circumstances aside: What is stopping you from closing the gap between the world you inhabit, and the one you never explored, but wish you did?”______Monique van Tulder knows this generation of mid-life women have had enough. With helicopter parenting, juggling careers (perhaps professional life taking a backseat), or caring for aging family members, it’s time for second-act women to spend resources and time on themselves. Yeah!!Monique is leading Conversations on Mid-Life Wellbeing Teaching others on how to expand a mid-life in joy and creating space for themselves, encouraging them to design their guidebook for A Grown Ups Gap Year.Authentically sharing her story of mid-life reinvigoration - her own Eat Pray Runaway & Return adventure (she abandoned her family for eight months) - Monique’s wisdom inspires other women to prioritise health & well-being, financial literacy, retirement or professional life, and of course, travel retreats and adventure also! Monique leads an engaged online community of like-minded mid-age women who want to regain control of their lives. Her mantra: “Now, is your time” sounds like just the antidote for many of us living a life seemingly for others & not ourselves. Let’s find out more from the wonderful Monique van Tulder. Her book ‘A Grown Ups Gap Year’ 101 Really Practical Journeys for Navigating mid-life (I wish someone told me) will be available June 2024 (The Wellbeing Travel Guide series).For more information about Monique, check out these places;-Website: https://www.moniquevantulder.com.au/Instagram: @moniquevantulderHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejcox/)Connect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcox (https://www.instagram.com/michelle.j.cox/)Connect with Michelle on Facebook here -
