Chatting with Alana Kirk , aka The Midlife Coach, about her journey through motherhood, divorce, grief and all the "good, the bad, and the ugly" as she calls it, that comes with begin a woman in midlife.

" Like most women, I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs.  I’ve single parented, double buggied, triple jobbed and lost my mother, marriage and reason in the space of 12 months, just as I hit midlife. "

I wrote about my time sandwiched between the care of three small children, and my beautiful mum who was rendered brain damaged and paralysed after a stroke in the best selling book The Sandwich Years.

What I've learned is that we are not defined by what happens to us, but by how we respond. "

Alana is a journalist, writer and coach.
