Welcome

Hi, I'm Heather.

​

And if you're anything like me, your life has been a beautiful whirlwind of taking care of everyone and everything. For 25 years, my identity was wrapped up in my roles: teacher, wife, mum, and later, business owner. I loved it. I poured my heart into it.

But a little while ago, I found myself standing in a life that felt strangely quiet. The kids were grown, my career path felt like a well-worn track, and I was navigating the wild, unpredictable hormonal shifts of my 50s. I had this persistent, nagging feeling of being a little bit lost, a little bit invisible, and I kept asking myself the same question over and over:

"Okay... what's next for me?"

​

I looked for a space where women were talking about this messy, confusing, and wonderful "second act" with real honesty. I didn't find it. I found a lot of "anti-aging" talk and a lot of "hustle harder" motivation, but I couldn't find a warm, gentle place that simply said, "It's okay to feel a bit lost. Let's figure this out together."

​

That's the moment the idea for Calmish was born.

​

It started as a quiet whisper of a thought: what if we had a sanctuary? A private circle where we could share our struggles without judgment? A toolkit to help us find our center on the days we feel like we're coming apart at the seams?

​

I realised that my entire life, my years as a teacher, my entrepreneurial adventures (and misadventures!), and my own journey through midlife wasn't a random collection of experiences. It was the perfect, unconventional training to build this exact space.

My mission with Calmish is simple. I want to create a place where you feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. A place that honors the woman you've been and helps you get excited about the woman you are becoming.

​

This isn't about turning back the clock. It's about finally having the time to listen to ourselves.

It's your turn now. And I am so, so honoured to be on this journey with you.

Warmly,
Heather
