Throwback to a time when I carried more weight—but never lacked beauty, confidence, or curves.

Fast forward 20 pounds lighter, and I still feel just as powerful.

Aging isn’t about losing your fire—it’s about owning every version of you.

Finding Joy and Fulfillment in Life After 50

Introduction

Entering your 50s is less about slowing down and more about waking up to new purpose. Life after 50 can be one of your most joyful and fulfilling decades—if you approach it consciously. In this article, you’ll explore seven meaningful ways to embrace joy, purpose, and growth in this wonderful stage of life.

1. Rediscover Old Passions

Reconnect with activities you loved years ago—whether painting, gardening, or playing music. Rekindling creative hobbies can boost self-expression and inner satisfaction.

2. Prioritize Physical Movement

Gentle yet consistent exercise—like walking, yoga, or swimming—not only strengthens the body but lifts the spirit. Small daily commitments can have a big emotional payoff.

3. Cultivate Mindfulness

Mindfulness isn’t just a trend—it’s a tool for living more fully. Try gratitude journaling, daily meditation, or breathwork to keep your mind rooted in the present and your emotions balanced.

4. Deepen Personal Connections

Strong relationships bring warmth and meaning. Schedule regular coffee dates, video calls, or weekend rituals with close friends and family. These bonds enrich your emotional life and promote well-being.

5. Serve or Mentor Others

Helping others can be a powerful source of fulfillment. Volunteering or mentoring lets you use your life experience meaningfully—creating impact and deep satisfaction.

6. Learn Something New

Curiosity doesn’t retire at 50. Learn digital skills, pick up a new language, or explore online courses. Not only does this sharpen the mind—it injects your life with excitement and growth.

7. Celebrate Small Achievements

Happiness often lies in the everyday moments. Celebrate small wins—finishing a book, growing a flower, learning a tune. These tiny victories build sustained joy.

Real Inspiration: Linda’s Story

Looking for real-life proof that joy and renewal are possible after 50? Check out this soulful story: Linda’s Life After 50 – Honest Reflections on Aging, Joy & Change. Her journey shows how embracing change and staying curious can create a deeply fulfilling midlife experience.

Conclusion & Call to Action

Life after 50 is a time of rediscovery, connection, and pure joy. Implement one (or all) of these seven principles: pursue passions, move your body, stay present, deepen relationships, share your wisdom, learn continuously, and celebrate yourself.

If Linda’s story resonated with you, reblog this post or share your own journey of joy after 50!

I wrote something gentle this week—a reflection on what it’s looked like (and felt like) to start learning to be kinder to myself. Because maybe you’ve been there too: where rest feels like a luxury, stillness feels suspicious, and your worth feels tangled up in doing.Just a little reminder from me (and my coffee cup) that you don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to fix it all. You don’t have to rush your healing. This week's blog post is a gentle reflection on learning to be kinder to myself—because sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is speak softly to ourselves when we want to shout. If you're feeling a bit wobbly or just need a kind word today, I wrote this for you. You can read the full post via the link in my bio or check out stories—it's waiting there for you with a warm mug and a deep breath. Let me know if it resonates, or share it with someone who might need a little softness today too. You’re doing better than you think. #NewBlogPost #LearningToBeKinderToMyself #GentleLiving #SlowLivingMovement #MentalWellbeing #BurnoutRecovery #MindfulMoments #SelfKindnessMatters #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #MidlifeMagic #CozyReflections #WellbeingJourney #SimpleLiving #RestIsProductive #KindnessCounts #OurLittleHouseInTheCountry

🌺 Our talk traverses the #REGENT archetype. Which encompasses the spiritual, psychological, biological and cultural significance of women’s midlife. In particular, Dr. A reframes and affirms peri-menopause and menopause and post-menopause as a time for women to step most fully into their own. In other words #agingisawomanssuperpower

 🌺 ABOUT ANDREA: Dr Andrea Modisette-Slominski is a cultural mythologist, women’s coach, author, and speaker. Dr. A. guides and encourages women, 45+  to recreate, renew and re- embrace their authentic soulful selves, during the tumultuous seasons of perimenopause, midlife, and menopause. The physical, psychological, and spiritual transformations of this life stage are much easier to navigate with a map of the territory and a compass oriented to your true north. Dr. A. created a coaching program that guides women through this 25 year stage of change, that  frees women to reject societies’ preconceived notions about who and what they are at this stage of life, empowering women to unlock the potential in their Regency Years.

Yes 🙌 I often get questions where you can feel the "racing" in their words... They are racing for an answer. If we find ourselves doing that, it never hurts to slow down, take a breath, check in with ourselves. It doesn't mean we're ignoring or suppressing the concern…. it just means we're regulating our system enough to respond calmly. Posted @withregram • @raising_yourself I am so grateful to live in a time where there are so many books, resources, and advocates out there to help guide us as we aspire to become more conscious, gentle parents. Yet, the longer I am on this journey, the more I realize that so many of the answers I seek about myself, about parenting, about life...can be found from within my own heart and my own lived experiences. I don't believe in parenting "experts," because parenting is, well, life. And no one is a better expert of your own life than YOU. I am a student and I am a teacher, but I am no expert. There are no magic formulas or checklists for healing and if someone claims there is, I would run the other direction. Life, and parenting in particular, is a series of constant invitations to tune in to where have still have rage, and grief, and pain and to gently ask ourselves what we need to do to tend to those wounds. **Of course, there is absolutely a time and place for therapists and coaches and support ...but we are so conditioned from a young age to believe that the answers we seek are all outside of us...that our instincts and intuition cannot and should not be trusted, that we often forget to listen to the higher version of ourselves - often our inner child - who has so much to say. 💗 IT IS SAFE TO TRUST YOURSELF. YOU ARE WORTHY OF BEING TRUSTED. 💗 What is your inner child teaching you? What has s/he revealed to you as you embark upon the journey of coming back home to yourself? #breakthecycle #itstartswithus #selflove #selfcare #mentalhealth #selfhealers #cyclebreakers #gentleparenting #innerchild #midlifemagic #positiveparenting #motherwound #consciousparenting #childhood #consciousfamily #awakened #unschooling #unschool #homeschool #homeschooling #reparenting #raisingyourself #generationaltrauma https://www.instagram.com/p/CWbYqN4rqJY/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm nearly done with the second novel in my Paranormal Women's Fiction series and I'm not sure it'll fit into the 55K word count I've set for it. I'm fine with it being longer. I'm just amused that it keeps growing like this.

Anyway, if I can get 5000 words written today, the first draft will be done!! I'm excited. I'm hoping to publish it by the end of the month.

I'll have to start the next one right away, though, because this one ends on a much cliffier note than the first one. Eek.

Also, when I'm done, I can finish a couple of personal non-writing projects that have been on hold for ages. (Hand-bound art book I'm looking at you!)

LET'S SOAR INTO THE MIDLIFE Soaring into the Midlife by Lia Davis and L.A. Boruff is here!!

Read it #free with #KindleUnlimited here:

Hailey's life has been bananas lately. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Izora moved in. Then Adalinda moved in. Then Zara moved in. Or did Zara move in first? Who can remember? It's too much to keep up with.

Hailey is a dragon now, and she wants all this other crap to hush so she can focus on what that means. Adalinda has been teaching Hailey and Jax what it means to be a dragon. Together, they soar through the skies, uncovering the secrets of dragonhood and forging unbreakable bonds. Also, flying is really freaking fun. 

To everyone's surprise, Izora begins to toe the party line! She goes along with Hailey on a hunt and manages not to kill anyone. It's a miracle.

Their new world is shaken by the arrival of a mysterious stranger, a dragon in disguise. Adalinda, with her vast knowledge of dragonkind, is puzzled by his presence. Unbeknownst to them, this stranger harbors a dark agena. Dun-dun-dun.

Posted @withregram • @raising_yourself Were you allowed to have your own identity growing up? Or were you forced to comply with whatever your parents wanted you to be interested in...participate in sports, play a certain instrument, adopt their religion, be more outgoing, etc.? Or conversely, do you struggle with your child having different interests than you? It's so, so important to allow children to discover and embrace what makes them...THEM. If they are forced to do things over and over that is not a reflection of who they are and what they care about, over time, it erodes their sense of self. It's, at least in part, why so many of us grow up, get to midlife, and don't know who we are...we've been following a roadmap that was never ours to begin with. It's scary, but it's also an exciting an awakening to redefine who we are. If you're smack dab in the middle of your own midlife unraveling, I would invited you to check out my Midlife Magic Journal to help guide you on rediscovering who you really are and how you want to show up in this next chapter of your life. ✨✨The link is in my BIO ✨✨ or you can visit: shellyrobinson.com/magic Here's some recent feedback I've received on the journal: "Shelly has given busy moms the ultimate gift: a tangible guide to rediscovering yourself. This journal provides a mapped-out, 4 week journey that encourages reflection and self-exploration. In just a few minutes a day, over the course of one month, I have been able to shift my perspective, ignite more joy, and find the clarity I had been missing." - Laura Hennigan Look forward to your thoughts on this conversation!

Upon seeing his granddaughter, Oberon gave her a warm smile I didn’t think fae were capable of and then told everyone to leave the house for ten Earth minutes or he would assist with nothing. When the time is up, they’re giggling together. His naturally pink hair next to her dyed green, heads bent looking through a photo album. Although he doesn’t look much older than her, Oberon behaves as a…

Posted @withregram • @raising_yourself For anyone who needs this gentle reminder today. If we know shame doesn't help our kids, then it's safe to say it doesn't help us either. I know most of us here get that intellectually, but today, I would invite you to really embody the truth of this statement - let it really sink into your soul. 💗 Happy Sunday, friends.

Nearly There

Well, I didn't make my self-imposed deadline. I wanted to finish this novel by the end of today, and I'd set an assumed wordcount of about 55,000 words. It's going to be at least 60K words. I'm at about 54,000 now and am pretty sure I can get up to over 55K tomorrow evening. 2K is an easy reach for me. If I really push, and get my outline much fuller, I might be able to get to the end on Monday. I hope
