Hi, đ
You are allowed to change your mind about your career, relationship, friendship, city, clothes, business model, dream, and the person you thought you were supposed to become.
You are allowed to say, âThis was right for me then, but it isnât right for me now.â
And you donât need to produce a courtroom-quality defence of your decision.
We change. Our circumstances change. Our priorities change.
Sometimes the thing we wanted desperately at 35 doesnât fit the woman standing here at 49. That doesnât make the younger version of you foolish.
She made the best decisions she could with the information, experience, and desires she had at the time.
Thank her, then let yourself move.
I think there is enormous freedom in realising that our past choices are not contracts we have to honour forever.
You can edit, revise, close the chapter, and most importantly, begin again.
Not because you failed, but because you know more now.
Todayâs reminder: Changing your mind is not always inconsistency; sometimes it is evidence that you have been paying attention.
See you tomorrow for your next Midlife Edit â¤ď¸

Let Your Vision Excite You â Not Exhaust You
Midlife isnât the end of your story â itâs the beginning of a bold, beautiful new chapter.
If something Iâve written has made you pause, think, smile, or see your own life a little differently, and youâd like to send a little love back my way, you can buy me a Matcha Latte.
It helps me keep creating these little moments of reflection, encouragement, and possibility for you. And honestly, knowing that something Iâve written has landed with you is the loveliest support of all.
"You are allowed to change your mind" should be emblazoned on a t-shirt! This little reminder - that it's never too late to rewrite our story, and perhaps even more importantly, that we should always remind ourselves that the woman who wrote the last chapter was doing the best that she could with what she knew at the time - is everything. If we could just give our younger selves a little more grace and empower our current selves to take the next leap, what a life that would be!
Very well said, my Lovely xx
