From Motherhood to Midlife: Finding Joy in the In-Between

Midlife isn’t an ending, it’s an invitation to begin again and rewrite your story. Here, we celebrate reinvention, reflection, and the quiet strength it takes to rediscover who we are.

Lovely to meet you!

Welcome to Mum Turned Mom, a space for women navigating life after the little years. What started as a chronicle of motherhood has grown into a celebration of midlife: the messy, beautiful season of rediscovery between what was, and what’s to come. Here, I share honest stories about what it means to evolve; balancing family, career, creativity, and self-care; while finding new purpose and joy in the process. If you’ve ever asked yourself “What’s next for me?”, you’re right where you need to be.

Hi, I’m Sara, a Scottish mum who moved to Massachusetts and learned how to start over more than once.

When I began Mum Turned Mom, it was my way of capturing the everyday chaos and creativity of raising three kids in a new country.

Now, as my children find their own paths, I’m exploring mine too, writing about midlife changes, rediscovering passions, and finding contentment in the in-between.
