Hello, I’m Sarah

Here I share thoughtful, reflective writing for women in midlife, offering gentle, practical support around perimenopause, seasonal living and slowing down, inspired by real life and the world around us.

About Mindful and Me

Mindful and Me is a place for mindful living inspiration for women navigating perimenopause, ADHD awareness and midlife wellbeing.

The intention behind this space

This space exists to make room for thoughtful reflection on wellbeing, slowing down and the changes life brings. What I share comes from noticing what matters in ordinary moments - with the aim of offering reassurance, clarity and connection.

You’ll most often find me on Instagram, where I share small moments, reflections, and everyday glimpses of my mindful living.

For collaborations, partnerships, or brand enquiries, you’re welcome to get in touch.
