Too old is just a story, and not your fiction.
Your age may be part of the picture. BUT... It’s not the whole story.
Hi, I'm Dianne
Welcome! Double donor mum. Menopausal. Reinventing everything at 50.
Hi, I’m Dianne – early childhood educator turned corporate escapee, proud miracle mum to Eva (plus our very entitled dog, Lady). A woman rewriting the script on midlife, motherhood, and what it means to thrive after a so-called breakdown (spoiler: it was actually a breakthrough).
Writing real, raw, and slightly cheeky reflections on parenting as an older mum and my donor IVF journey, all the while navigating the chaos and clarity that comes with reinvention.
After climbing the professional ladder to secure the holy grail – flexibility, family-friendliness, and financial stability – I realised what I really wanted was to be and more importantly feel more present, aligned, and less rushed.
Now, I’m sharing my story as I figure out what’s next – with a side of humour, hard-earned wisdom, and a whole lot of heart.
