Life Change
Embarking on a total life change can be daunting at any age. For women, on their own or in mid-life – post-career and post children, it is also a wonderful opportunity. I was where you are now and made a full midlife transformation from corporate life and Mum to create a wine château in Bordeaux.
With all the life skills and experience you have gathered so far, and a clear vision of your goal, have confidence in yourself to make that leap knowing that you are doing this for yourself and at your pace. You won’t believe the joy and sheer satisfaction you will experience and when challenges arise, you can draw on the strength and determination that you have shown elsewhere.
I hope that by sharing my experience of making a total life change in my 50s, I can show you that with confidence, a little courage, and the conviction of what you want to do, it really is possible. So, let's do a workshop or why not start by reading my book:
Make the Midlife Move for a Practical Guide to Flourish after 50?
Why wait? You can achieve that dream.
My Story
After a corporate career based in Paris and the South of France, I completely changed my life. In my mid-fifties, I launched an independent winery in Bordeaux - on my own and with no prior experience of the industry. Having thrown myself into wine studies, I bought a parcel of vines with some dilapidated buildings and created a brand-new wine chateau.
Now, 8 years on, I have a boutique winery, Château George 7, in Fronsac. I am making award-winning wines and I have created a tourism destination winning accolades for exceptional wine experiences and events.
Mid-life was the optimum time to make this life change - with the skills acquired in previous careers, the freedom to focus on what interested me and to take things at my own pace plus the confidence in my own likes and dislikes that comes with age.
If I can do it, so can you.
