# Women are missing ##### Your Perimenopause Blueprint Workshop ---  --- ## Summary > - We are missing joy, personal play, creativity, and the simple pleasures. > - We are so busy looking after everyone else. > - Our dreams and goals still matter; it is not too late. --- ## Transcript One of the things that I am finding massively for women in their late thirties, forties, and fifties is that we are missing so much in our lives. We are missing this joy, this personal play, this creativity, the simple pleasures, the ease of life, fun, joy, learning, simplicity, excitement, challenge, and connection. We are missing out on so, so much. The reason I think we're missing out on so much is because we're so busy looking after everyone else. A lot of us have families, and we may have elderly parents that we're looking after. We're stuck completely in between. Then we have this stuff inside us, these things that we want to do with our lives, dreams, goals, and ambitions. Many of us, actually, most of us in our forties and fifties, feel that time is starting to run out, and we want to achieve those goals and dreams. The problem is we're starting to think that at this point in our lives, it's just not going to happen. We haven't got the time, we're too old, but that is absolutely bullshit. I think a lot of these feelings and emotions are what's leading to the anxiety and depression we're experiencing.
