"Hope choosing the M-Word has been a good call"

My brain has in the last two - three years lost a huge & very scary amount of functional ability (memory, creativity, analytical capacity, etc). In part, I attribute this to the still unachieved desire to become a mother (for the first time), and the enormous energy sap the endeavor has had on me. 
I turned 48 a few days ago. Up to the start of the pandemic, the fact that I had a successful business mitigated the effects of this, however, my company is anchored in the tourism sector which means that (a) the impact of covid has been monumental both on its operation & profitability , and (b) I am not generating new ideas/ alternatives to redirect our resources into another area. Net result?
Right now, very little feels good.....and, as someone who takes full responsibility for her own life, the level of frustration & feelings of impotence are at a maximum level. A shift is needed. And, on the day of my birthday, an M-Word masterclass with Emily popped up in my youtube feed.....which is what got me here. Hope choosing the M-Word has been a good call
