My Journey to Fab Over 40

I’ve always believed that some of life’s greatest lessons happen with one brave “YES”. Whether it’s paddling into your first wave, traveling somewhere new, or taking a leap that feels a little scary… those moments often become the ones that shape us the most.

I've spent more than 30 years helping people improve their health and wellbeing, but it's my own life experiences - and saying yes to opportunities that stretched me - that have shaped the way I support others today.

Like many women, there was a time when I became so busy looking after everyone else that I gradually stopped making space for myself. Between raising three children, working full-time and navigating some challenging family circumstances, I was constantly giving without ever stopping to ask what I needed.

Eventually, I realised that simply getting through each day wasn't the life I wanted to lead.

So I made a decision to do things differently.

I returned to the things that had always helped me feel grounded—movement, time in nature, meaningful connection and adventure. Not because they solved every problem, but because they reminded me who I was beyond my responsibilities.

That journey changed the way I think about wellbeing.

It's no longer about chasing perfection or trying to become someone new. It's about creating a life that feels aligned, joyful and deeply connected to who you already are.

Along the way, I expanded my qualifications in coaching, NLP, yoga and breathwork, giving me a deeper understanding of how lasting change happens. I've learned that confidence isn't something we suddenly find—it's something we build, one small courageous step at a time, especially when we're surrounded by people who encourage us to grow.

Today, at 57, I feel stronger, more adventurous and more connected to myself than I did a decade ago. I genuinely believe the second half of life can be one of the most exciting chapters—not because everything is perfect, but because we finally begin giving ourselves permission to live it on our own terms.

Through Fab Over 40 Wellbeing and Off Script Retreats, I create experiences that combine movement, wellbeing, adventure and connection. Whether it's strength training, yoga, breathwork or learning to surf for the very first time, my goal is always the same: to create spaces where people feel supported, challenged and inspired to discover what's still possible.

I don't believe life over 40 is about slowing down.

I believe it's about becoming more curious, more confident and more willing to say yes to the adventures still waiting for us.

Because sometimes the most extraordinary chapters begin when we're brave enough to step off the well-worn path... and go Off Script.

Warmly,
Chrissy🧘‍♂️
