    Two Years In. The Real Story

    13/05/2026 | 19 mins.
    Two years ago I made some of the biggest decisions of my life. I left my job, sold my house, and started building something from scratch - with no guarantee it would work and no perfectly lined up plan.
    This episode is the honest version of what those two years have actually looked like. The growth, the mess, the moments of "what on earth am I doing" - and why I'm not panicking, even when probably I should be.
    We're talking about:
    Why feeling behind doesn't mean you are behind
    The slow wake-up call that changed everything for me
    What a day in Newcastle with my girlfriends reminded me about life and the stories we all carry
    The difference between the old version of me and who I am now
    Why the certainty always comes after the decision — never before
    This one's real. No filter.

    I did everything right… so why didn’t it feel right?

    07/04/2026 | 15 mins.
    I did everything “right”… but my life still didn’t feel right.
    In this episode, I talk about that in-between space - where life looks fine on the outside, but something feels off underneath.
    From the pressure of not being where I thought I’d be at 40, to the moment that shifted everything for me, and how one small decision (a solo trip) became the catalyst for change.
    If you’ve ever felt like something’s missing but you can’t quite explain it… this is for you.

    Are you really single… or just distracted?

    31/03/2026 | 11 mins.
    In this episode, I’m talking about something that’s been on my mind a lot this week - what it actually means to be single.
    Because I don’t think most people are.
    Not in a relationship? Yes.
    But fully single… I’m not so sure.
    There’s often someone in the background - someone we’re messaging, thinking about, or getting attention from. And without realising it, that can keep us distracted, stuck, and not fully moving forward.
    I’ve been in both.
    And they feel completely different.
    In this episode, I share my own experience with this, how distraction can affect your energy and clarity, and why being truly on your own can feel uncomfortable - but also necessary.
    If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure, or like something’s just a bit off… this one might get you thinking.

About Figuring it out at 40: Life beyond the timeline
Figuring It Out at 40 is for anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, “Hang on - wasn’t life meant to look different by now?”I’m Gem - 41, single, no kids, never been married (not even close), and learning to carve out my own path. After leaving a job that was burning me out, I’ve since been creating a different life I never expected. I've started working online, want to move to Ibiza, solo travel and create a future that feels aligned - even if it doesn’t look anywhere near how I thought growing up. I’ll share the highs, the lows, the self-doubt, the messy bits and the breakthroughs - all the things that don’t usually get celebrated but deserve to be. It’s about laughing at the awkward bits, grieving the hard bits, and reminding yourself you’re not on your own. So, whether you’re 30s, 40s or beyond, single, divorced, child-free, or simply rethinking the path you’re on - you’ll find honesty, humour, and high vibes here. Think of this as a reminder that your story isn’t on the wrong track - it’s just a different one.
