Selfrediscovery Stories

Sometimes fate turns into the worst kind of pain.

Phoenix feels the weight of life pressing down on her. Her friends and agemates have stable jobs, flourishing relationships, and homes that reflect success but she feels left behind. Men come and go, none serious enough to settle, and no matter how much she prays or fasts, nothing seems to work. One day she comes across a book that speaks directly to her heart and Phoenix realizes she doesn't want to live in fear or under pressure. She refuses to chase a job, a relationship, or a child simply because others have them. Instead, she chooses to trust God's timing, believing that when the time is right, He will make it happen. This is a story of letting go, finding peace, and rising quietly without rushing.

Newly divorced, forty-nine, mildly menopausal, with free-range boobs chanting no cage, no shame in cahoots with an unsupportive bra that snapped in the Woolies freezer aisle. Living wildly she packs a bag (and a box of wine) and leaves it all behind. From caravan park showers to karaoke catastrophes, beach epiphanies to bra meltdowns, this is midlife mayhem in full, unfiltered Australian colour. If you've ever: • cried in a Woolies, • yelled "I am NOT lost!" at a family BBQ, • or wondered if your life was a chickpea salad no one asked for - this slice-of-life comedy will feel like coming home in the weirdest, warmest way. This isn't a comeback. It's a slow-motion cartwheel into middle-aged mayhem. It's not about bouncing back. It's about bouncing forward - boobs, baggage, bad decisions and all. A funnywoman tale of menopause, misadventures, and messy self-discovery. One VB at a time.
