The Tenacious Community
A welcoming space to share your thoughts, find connection and feel a little less alone.
Honest conversations about life.
“A welcoming space for women in midlife, with honest stories and practical ideas for caring for yourself through life’s changes.”
You’ve spent years being there for everyone else. What do you want for yourself now?
Perhaps the children need you less. Your body feels different. Or life looks much the same, but the things that once gave you purpose don’t quite fit anymore.
You find yourself asking, “Who am I now—and what do I want?”
I’m Paula, and I know how unsettling that question can feel. I struggled with my own sense of identity in midlife. Tenacious Wellness grew from my journey of finding myself again.
Here, you’ll find honest conversations, practical mindfulness and small ways to care for yourself through food, movement and sleep—all to help you explore what matters to you and begin rediscovering yourself in midlife.
You don’t need to know what comes next to begin.

A little everyday luxury.
I absolutely love aromatherapy oils. They're one of those simple pleasures that can turn an ordinary moment into something rather lovely.
Whether it's a few drops of a bath-safe blend for a relaxing soak, mixed with a carrier oil to create a beautiful massage oil, or experimenting with different scents in my room diffuser, I love discovering new combinations.
There's something wonderful about finding a fragrance that suits your mood, your home or simply the moment.
Find your favourite blend and enjoy a little moment just for you.

The four-week mindful reset has been a total journey. I have loved having these emails drop into my inbox every day. They have changed the way I think and helped me prioritise myself, be mindful of my needs, and recognise what's important in life.
The Gloss shampoo and conditioner. What gorgeous products. In midlife, my hair has become dry and dull. These will be my new staples. Lovely to use, smells gorgeous and delighted with the results.
The Jute & Cotton Reversible bag. I'm so impressed! The attention to detail is incredible. I love the pocket on the front, perfect for my phone. The Jute feels sturdy and well-made. I will definitely be ordering again in a different colour.
I am really pleased with my wellness journal from Tenacious. It arrived quickly, it was beautifully packaged, and the quality is excellent. The journal feels well-made with lovely thick pages and a premium finish. You can tell a lot of care has gone into the design. I'm looking forward to using it every day. Highly recommend both the product and the excellent service.
I ordered the sun protection stick. Outstanding quality and service. This has become my go-to brand; it has a light tint, which is perfect as a base for my make-up if I am going out. But on a beach day, it's all I wear. Thank you!
I tried the timeless renewal cream. I found the product to be amazing. As a 53-year-old woman, my skin is at a stage where nothing seems to work anymore, and my makeup doesn't sit right on it. When I started using the timeless renewal cream, I found my skin no longer had menopausal breakouts, and it feels tighter and smoother. So happy I discovered this.
