You may ask what qualifies me to take on the task of empowering midlife women to get the love, happiness and fulfilment they desire.
That is a fair question. So here is a short answer.
I was born a boy but as a child was fascinated by the way girls behave and women live and all things feminine. This started long before puberty.
Once I approached adolescence I decided to dedicate myself to the role society allocated me as a male. I went on to live successfully as a man for 30 odd years doing all the expected things, being a husband, father and provider.
However, when I reached midlife, I found myself drawn back to the world of women and the feminine. I started to explore my own femininity and began the journey to becoming how you see me today.
One of the advantages this transition has given me is that I can see things from both a feminine and masculine point of view.
Many midlife women who are finding things difficult have been willing to talk to me about their love and life experiences and challenges. Without realising I had been collecting data, observations and experience for my book ‘Love Sex and the Midlife Woman’ for the last 15 years or so.
