A Grown Up’s Gap Year: Put YOU in the picture

A Grown Up’s Gap Year: The Guidebook for mid Lifestyle. Wellbeing. Adventure. Chic What happens when you hit the reset button on your life? You run away, of course… At least, that’s what Monique van Tulder did. After discovering herself at the top of everyone’s ‘person we need’ pyramid and the bottom of her own, Monique decided it was time to hit pause. For eight months, she embarked on an ‘eat, pray, run away & return’ journey – running away from her family to find out what it truly means to live well . Spoiler alert: this isn’t just a guidebook on how to ditch your life and jet off to a tropical island (though, let’s be honest, that’s tempting). It’s chock full of handy hints and practical steps. A BIG HUG for YOU in mid-life. And if that involves a temporary escape? Well, who are we to judge? Welcome to A Grown Up’s Gap Year – an adventure you won’t want to miss. Monique returned home reinvigorated but with still unanswered questions. Perhaps you, too, have spent so long looking after everyone else that you’ve sacrificed your wellbeing and sense of self. Somewhere in the chaos, your identity has become entangled with everyone else’s needs, and you are left wondering: · What shape do I want for my life now? · When did I forget to take care of my wellbeing? · What steps can I take to feel better? · When did fun disappear? · What do I value? · Where is my creativity for my life? · How did everything get so complicated? If you’re nodding along, thinking, ‘HELL YES, this sounds like me,’ then welcome! You’re in the right place. In A Grown Up’s Gap Year , Monique shares the deeply personal story of her year-long reinvigoration, filled with solo travel, close-to-home escapades, and looking back in order to find a joy-filled future – discovering how to do ‘next’ for women in their second (or third!) act. With wit and heart, she invites you to take a leap of faith, embrace the unknown, and put yourself back in the picture. This book is for anyone who’s ever felt like life’s gotten a little too predictable, a little too staid and is ready to infuse their world with possibility, adventure, and, yes – joy. A Grown Up’s Gap Year is here to remind you that it’s never too late to live your best life. It’s the perfect read for fans of Eat Pray Love and The Happiness Project – with a generous side of self-discovery, wanderlust, and fun. ‘Real life is where the best connections are found.’ – Dr Danielle Einstein, Co-author Raising Anxiety ‘I wanted to share how much your story resonated … and ignited something in me.’ – Prue Fancis, Mum, wife & friend ‘ …menopause and mid-life education is key.
