12 October – 2 December
Put yourself back at the centre of what comes next
12 OCT – 2 DEC 2026
A transformative journey to help you make conscious choices about how you want to live.
We’ll guide you step by step to understand yourself more deeply and turn insight into action. Along the way, you’ll be inspired and supported by other Second 50 women, whose perspectives and experiences can help you see possibilities that are hard to discover alone.
Is life quietly tapping you on the shoulder?
Perhaps you’re moving through a visible transition. Or maybe nothing is obviously wrong, but the life that once fitted no longer feels quite right.
You don’t need to reinvent yourself or have a perfect plan. Sometimes you simply need the space to pause, listen to what is stirring and become curious about what might come next.
Five steps to help you shape what comes next
Move gently, one step at a time, through five connected areas. You’ll deepen your understanding of who you are now and bring more of what matters into your everyday life.
1. Values
what matters most to you now
2. Strengths
what comes naturally to you and helps you thrive
3. Energy
what energises and drains you — and shapes how life feels
4. Life Wheel
where life feels aligned, stretched or ready for attention
5. Life Integration
how to bring what matters into your real, everyday life
A supported journey,
whichever path you choose
You can move through Life Design in the way that suits you best: independently, or alongside two other Second 50 women as part of a Life Design Trio.
Whichever path you choose, you’ll be part of Second 50’s connected, member-shaped community, with a dedicated Life Design space, weekly guidance, live and recorded Circles, and the insights and encouragement of other midlife women.
Gill McLaren and Carolyn Betts,
co-creators of Second 50 Life DesignTogether, we bring Gill’s proven Think.Plan.Live. methodology and coaching expertise into the supportive, connected community of Second 50.
“There were so many unique insights and individual journeys, but it also felt like we were all in the same boat. It was such a powerful investment of time and thought with a great bunch of women who only want the best for each other.”
“Honestly, it's been one of the most unexpectedly powerful experiences I've had in a very long time. Even though it was delivered virtually, the Second 50 structure created a sense of connection and safety that I really wasn't expecting.”
“It's a gift to yourself, an opportunity to deeply turn inward and understand who you are as a woman. Once understanding self becomes clearer, the path forward feels natural and aligned.”
Designed to fit around real life
As little as an hour a week can be enough. You don’t need to complete every lesson, attend every Circle or join a Trio.
You can move at your own pace, return after a busy week and still carry something meaningful forward.
Ready to shape
what comes next?
Across five Life Design steps, you’ll create a practical, personal life plan shaped by what matters now and the small choices you want to carry forward. The tools, practice and your plan are yours to revisit and adapt as life changes.
