Tenacious supports women navigating midlife, menopause, and the next chapter of their lives with honesty, encouragement, and practical tools for everyday well-being.
About Me
At 55, I’m navigating a full and vibrant life — balancing work, family, stepchildren, and the joy of grandchildren. My mindfulness journey began when I realised I needed a gentler way to move through the overwhelm, to reconnect with myself beneath the noise, routines and responsibilities that come with midlife.
Mindfulness changed everything for me. It helped me become a more patient parent, a more loving partner, a more compassionate friend — and, most importantly, a calmer, more grounded version of myself.
Now, I’m committed to supporting other women as they find their own sense of clarity and calm. Whether you’re navigating the shifts of midlife, moving through menopause, or simply craving space to feel more like yourself again, you’re so welcome here.
Mindfulness helps me focus on what truly matters — and with the right gentle guidance, even the smallest shifts can lead to powerful, positive change.
A gentle, grounded space for women in midlife
Tenacious is a place for women who are ready to rediscover themselves.
Life has a way of becoming busy. We care for our families, build careers, support those we love and, somewhere along the way, it's easy to lose sight of who we are beyond the many roles we play.
Tenacious was created to help women reconnect with the person they've always been. Through creativity, wellbeing, nourishing food, movement, restorative sleep, mindful living and honest conversation, we hope to inspire you to embrace this next chapter with confidence and curiosity.
Everything you'll find here has been carefully chosen because it reflects the values at the heart of Tenacious: authenticity, simplicity and kindness. Whether it's a thoughtfully selected product, an inspiring book, a nourishing recipe or a personal story, our aim is always the same—to encourage you to slow down, rediscover what brings you joy and create a life that feels meaningful to you.
As our community continues to grow, so too will Tenacious. Together we'll share stories, celebrate creativity, support one another and discover that it is never too late to become the person you've always been.
Welcome to the journey.

Featured This Month: Herbal Teas
This month we're celebrating one of my favourite everyday rituals—herbal tea. On warm summer afternoons, I love brewing a cup with a slice of fresh lemon, or on particularly hot days, pouring it over ice for a refreshing treat. Why not discover your new favourite blend, then let us know what you're enjoying by sharing your thoughts in the Tenacious Community?

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.
Teak Chopping board. Great value for money. The product works perfectly and looks amazing. Highly recommend!
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.
