It's time to find
ourselves again

:: A Year of Exploration & Reconnection ::

In January 2009 I opened enrolments to my very first online course, an 8-week adventure called Unraveling: Ways of Seeing Our Selves. I was 36 years old and I did not yet know that course would change my life. Though I had been through so much already, I was young and there was plenty more still to come.

And then I blinked and now it's the end of 2025. I’m 52 years old and finally in postmenopause after a total hysterectomy in July 2025.

Right now, I feel I'm at the mid-point, the pivot between what went before and what's coming next. My midlife hasn't brought a crisis but it did usher in plenty of emotional and physical chaos! I've come out the other side of perimenopause feeling radically different. Honestly, it's like my insides have been scooped out and “everything’s been taken away from me”. Melodramatic, but those are the exact words I’ve been using to describe it.

Everything’s been taken away.

But of course, that’s not the whole story — I’ve just changed. A lot! I've deepened into who I am but so much of what once seemed important has been stripped back to the bone. 

So here's the thing...

The view from the mid-point is different because my eyes are different. I have different priorities. A new perspective. Reimagined desires. Softer dreams.

And just like I did in 2009, I want to examine and explore this new world I find myself in, the one where I'm the same and yet not even remotely the same.

I’m ravenously hungry to be romanced by my life at THIS age.

So my plan is to spend 2026 exploring where I've been, who I've become and what I'll leave behind as I journey through midlife and beyond. 

The last time I intentionally unravelled I did so in community and now more than ever I would like to do the same. 

I'd like to do this in the company of sisters & friends.

In a post-pandemic world that feels unrelenting and hard it's time to gift ourselves this intentional time for softness, curiosity and reflection.

Unraveling is letting go in the best way possible, untangling the knots that hold you back, unwrapping the gifts you've hidden far too long, unearthing the potential that's always been there, finally ditching the labels and should-haves, and letting yourself be what you were always
meant to be.

How it'll work

Unraveling Midlife is a ten-month journey of rediscovery to explore the view from midlife. We'll be using our cameras to examine our lives, homes, stories and selves. We'll dive into guided journaling and creative exercises to get under the hood of who we are, what we want and where we're heading. And we'll gather monthly in community to share and support each other.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:
  • A ten-month journey together, from January - October 2026
  • Monthly themes explored through inspiring photo prompts to bring it into your world
  • Monthly videos from my heart to yours - no holds barred! (It's gonna get emotional, in a good way)
  • Monthly workshops on Zoom for guided journaling sessions to dive into the theme in community. 
  • Private community space (NOT on FB) to share our photos and discoveries.

Our Monthly Themes

Each month we'll examine a different aspect of midlife. I'll give you inspiring photo prompts to help you explore your life with your camera (phones are perfect for this!). We'll use the accessible ease of photography to unravel the first layer of our lives (what's visible) and don't worry, no artsy skills are required! This is soul work and nothing's getting graded!

A TASTE OF THE PLACES WE'RE EXPLORING:


Where we stand NOW / the life we’ve created / cultivated

Who we’ve become / what is at the core of our being at this stage of our life?

Who we were / look back at that younger self and the plans they had

Facing the body / a tender look at our aging selves

Shapeshifting / new roles + desires / your true name

And so much more!!

Our Monthly Workshops

 

In our cosy monthly workshops we'll dive into a soulful series of journal prompts to take us deeper into the monthly theme. I'll guide you through each prompt and there'll be plenty of time for sharing and reflecting, too.

GOOD TO KNOW:
  • Each workshop will run for 60-90 mins on Zoom
  • They absolutely will be recorded!
  • Cameras on or off, your choice :-)
  • Connect with your fellow Unravelers in the chat!

 Questions & Answers

HELLO LOVE!

I'm Susannah

I’m a writer & teacher and I spend my days helping people access their creative joy and nurture a deeper kinder relationship with themselves. 

Walking through the fire of bereavement in my early 30s is how I came to truly inhabit every part of who I am, the shadows as well as the light. In 2006 I started writing a blog and found my beloved creative community. My first book, This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart, was published internationally in 2012 and for the last 16+ years I’ve been teaching creative courses online, sharing the tools and practices that transformed my life.

Now I'm here at 52, postmenopause and ready to begin the slow sacred walk into the forest. 🌳

ARE YOU FEELING IT TOO?

Midlife is
a time of evolution 

And chaos and confusion and exhaustion and reawakening. It's ALL THE THINGS! So let's ground ourselves in the NOW and reconnect to who we are, where we're heading and what really matters during this transformative time in our lives
