A Glimpse into My Life

Hello, I’m Birgit, and I’m passionate about helping women over 50 thrive by exploring essential topics - wellness, relationships, career changes, and healthy ageing.

I’m committed to addressing the unique questions and challenges that come with getting older, from managing menopause and maintaining health to embracing new career opportunities and building meaningful connections.


This journey is both personal and deeply motivating, and I’m here to share insights, research, and practical advice that empower and uplift.

One unique characteristic about me is my strong belief in the resilience and strength of senior women.

Furthermore, in this space, women find support, inspiration, and a feeling of solidarity.

Whether it's advice on navigating retirement, maintaining vitality and wellness, nurturing relationships, or exploring newfound passions, I endeavour to be a guiding light and a source of encouragement.

Note: At Your Senior Journey, I’m here not only to share advice and inspiration but also to hear from you. I want to know what’s on your mind and what you’d like to explore - whether it’s the ups and downs of being an empty nester or finding new ways to manage weight.

Please feel free to reach out with your questions, comments, or tips. Your experiences and insights are what truly shape this community, and I’d love to support you on this journey.

One of the most defining moments in my journey was losing my sister to illness.

My sister was a tremendous inspiration to me in how she approached life. Her unwavering positivity in the face of adversity was truly inspiring – especially as I'm usually the one known for having a bright outlook. Her strength encapsulated the resilience and determination of women, further solidifying my commitment to champion their stories and journeys through this blog.

Beyond my dedication to supporting senior women, I find joy and balance in teaching piano, cultivating my garden, cherishing family gatherings, and going for walks. These activities fuel my creativity and add depth and richness to my life.

Just a quick glimpse into my life: I was born in the Netherlands, had a pretty sheltered upbringing, and in my early years encountered some bullying.

Decided to ditch the whole 'clique' thing, opted for quality over quantity in friends, and voila, life got heaps better—fewer friends, but way happier.

Following my studies in social pedagogy in Nijmegen, I got a job, got married, and made the leap across the pond to the UK. I became a parent to several children.

My hubby and I ventured into our own business, where I learned the ropes of running operations, dealing with customers, and discovered my passion for selling at exhibitions. Life is on a new track now, but we're still keeping busy and enjoying life.

As the years roll on, I'm finding new questions popping up - the whole deal with healthy living, keeping the weight in check and tackling various body issues.

So, I've been diving headfirst into these topics, getting down to the nitty-gritty. The results are right here for you to check out, and I hope they come in handy for you too.
