Who I Am, and Why I Write This Blog

Hi, I’m Terry
Published author, working professional, and founder of Bestlife is Midlife.

With decades of experience in the retail industry, I’ve built a career leading teams, managing multi-site operations, and delivering results in high-pressure environments. But like many professionals in midlife, I reached a point where I started asking the big questions:
What’s next? What’s sustainable? And what truly matters?
After years of long hours, constant pressure, and missed time with my family, I realised that success shouldn’t come at the expense of health, happiness, or freedom. That realisation is what inspired me to launch Bestlife is Midlife — not just as a platform, but as a personal mission.
Why do I write these blogs?
Because I know what it feels like to hit midlife and wonder if there’s more out there.
Because too many people stay stuck, thinking it’s too late to change.
And because I believe that with the right tools, mindset, and support, midlife can be the beginning of your best chapter, not the end of one.
Through my blog, I share real-life lessons, strategies for building income online, and honest reflections on navigating this stage of life with purpose. I write to help people like you take back control of your time, your energy, and your future, without needing to quit your job or throw everything away to start again.
In 2022 and 2023, I published two books:
📘 Midlife Wake Up Call – A straight-talking eBook for those ready for change
📗 Midlife: A True Journey – A deeper look into the realities of midlife, passion, health, and starting again
These days, I continue to enjoy a leadership role in my career while building something meaningful on the side, not just for financial freedom, but for personal fulfilment too.
If you’re a midlife professional looking for more income, freedom, or direction, welcome.
You’re not alone, and this space was made for you.
Start Smart, Build for life
