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 - 40, single, no kids, never been married (not even close), and learning to carve out my own path. After walking away from a job that was burning me out, I’ve been building a life on my terms: starting an online business, chasing sunshine in Ibiza, and creating... more

Can’t believe we all have the same struggles. Gemma gives a great explanation how we feel when life doesn’t go the way we wanted/ how we imagined it. Keep going!!
Very honest and open about life’s expectations of how our paths should look and how life doesn’t always send us down that well trodden path, and that’s okay- we all lead individual life’s as people and thus podcast makes you realise that you’re not alone in the way your life is unfolding
Refreshing to hear an honest account of traditional expectations and how things don’t always work out the way we’ve been programmed to reach, and that’s ok, there are infinite paths. Looking forward to hear what’s next.
Loved hearing about your story Gemma, really inspirational how you have made the changes that make you happy, rather than what was “expected”. I would love to hear more about your mindset work in a future episode.
This made me feel super emotional and connected to you Gem, definitely resonates all you have said, keep pushing and smashing it, proud of someone ive never met, fab first episode, thank you for sharing ❤️
