For Real Women. Fresh Starts. New Chapters After 50

Welcome to Fifty Stories — I’m Freddy’s Mum and after losing everything, I’m starting over from scratch in my mid fifties. Now I’m sitting down and chatting with incredible, real women over 50, who’ve also had big life changes and taken brave steps to start something new whether that’s a new career, a creative passion, or simply a different way of living. Meet Sharon, one of the women featured in Fifty Stories. In this honest conversation, Sharon talks about life after 50 following many years working in HR, where long hours and constant pressure kept her focussed on earning more rather than living more. After a chance meeting with her husband, her priorities shifted and she decided to stop chasing money and start chasing time, choosing a better balance between work, family, and friendships. Sharon moved into part time work, but after Covid the HR world changed beyond recognition. The role no longer fitted who she was or how she wanted to live, so she made the decision to leave completely. Not long after, she decided to try TikTok Shop. What started as an experiment turned into a steady source of income, built on her own terms and around her life. We talk about the doubts, the turning points, and the small wins which helped Sharon rebuild confidence and create more freedom in midlife. If you are wondering what comes next or asking yourself whether it feels too late to start again after 50, Sharon’s story shows what happens when you give yourself permission to try.
