The Gap Year That Saved A Marriage – with Holly Wainwright (Mamamia)
The invisible woman still leaves quite a gap when she disappears. When the invisible woman packs her bags and buggers right off, suddenly her space becomes blindingly clear.
A Grown Up’s Gap Year – WellBeing Escapes
Wellbeing Escapes for Your Next Bit of Life
Sydney day sessions and carefully curated wellbeing trips to places like Kyoto and the Whitsundays. Think circuit breakers, not life detours.
If everyone around you seems to have “me time” and hobbies and time for friend lunches, and you have logistics, this is for you. I work with women who are smart, capable and done with being the flexible resource. Together we create real-life SPACE for you, so you can hear yourself think again and design what comes next.
Curated travel guides. Wellbeing travel ideas. Real-life ways to create SPACE for time out, without dismantling the life you have built.
Who is this for?
Is this you?
You are likely:
- pondering a work change, or wanting to exit entirely
the de facto CEO of your household and extended family – with an empty nest or kidults still at home
good at looking after everyone else and less practised at prioritising yourself - craving breathing room and something that feels like you again
- You are not looking for another bootcamp or beige mindfulness retreat. You want grounded, practical guidance with a side of adventure. A chance to feel like a person again, not a walking to-do list.
How I work
A simple roadmap: S.P.A.C.E
Everything I offer sits inside one simple lifestyle framework I encourage in A Grown Up’s Gap Year.
Simplify. Plan. Act. Connect. Explore.
- Simplify what is taking up disproportionate time and energy
- Plan something that feels like yours, not everyone else’s agenda
- Act in small, real-life ways so change actually happens
- Connect with people, place and purpose so you do not do this alone
- Explore through time out, travel and new experiences, big or small
Our sessions and escapes are fieldwork in your actual life, not theory.
Wellbeing Escapes
WHAT YOU TAKE HOME
Regardless of the format, you leave with:
- Clarity: a better sense of what matters next, not just what is urgent
- Language: ways to explain what you want to your partner, family or boss without apologising
- A plan: dates in the calendar, not just ideas in a notebook
- Practice: a few non-negotiable wellbeing habits that fit your real life
- This is not about running away from your life. It is about creating enough space that you remember you have one.
Our sessions and escapes are fieldwork in your actual life, not theory.
