Midlife by Design | One Bold Challenge Every Year
Hi, I'm Liza.
This channel started as health + wellness, then family vlogs. But I've been thinking about life differently.
What if we didn't just drift through midlife…

What if we designed it?

I discovered the Misogi Challenge — one big, self-imposed challenge each year that pushes you beyond what you think you're capable of. Something difficult enough that success isn't guaranteed… but growth is.
So I'm designing my life around it.

Each year:
1 Misogi — a challenge big enough to change you
6 mini adventures — to keep life exciting and full

This is the first.
May 2026: Walking 800km across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. Solo. From Australia. In my 40s. While navigating perimenopause. It's terrifying. It's exciting. And I want my kids to see what brave looks like.

If any of this resonates… subscribe and let's design this together.

Summer doesn't understand WHY mummy is doing this? She's 8. Funny, I came across a post asking people why they really do the Camino.

Some were grieving. Some were burnt out. Some had lost themselves in motherhood, work, heartbreak, routine, expectations. Some just needed to hear their own thoughts again.

That's what moves me most about wanting to do the Camino. Strangers arriving with different lives, different stories, different pain yet all carrying the same hope that something will shift along the way.

For me it's healing, to find myself through conversations, but ultimately it's to let go and let God 🙏

Looking at these two photos hurts.
That girl in 2005 was free. She had dreams. She had no idea that they would be buried and how much of herself she'd give away.

What I would tell her now is this:

Don’t abandon yourself while building a life for everyone else.

Keep a small piece of yourself protected. Your curiosity. Your voice. Your big dreams. The things that make you feel alive. Don't pack them away just because life gets busy or people need you.

Because one day you'll wake up and realise you spent years showing up for everyone… except yourself.

And healing that takes time. I guess this is what the Camino will be for...

But I’d also tell her this:
You do find your way back. Through tiny brave decisions, or big ones like the Camino. Through choosing yourself without guilt ✨

What's one thing you would tell your younger self?

On this day, 1976, these 2 amazing humans said "I do".
50 years of for better or worse.
50 years of for richer or poorer.
50 years of in sickness and in health.
50 years of to love and cherish.

Congratulations to my mum and dad for this inspiring milestone may God continue to shine His love on you both.

Happy anniversary 🥂

20 years ago, my avó (Grandma) passed away.

Lately… she’s been showing up again.
In rainbows. In ways I can’t explain — but feel.

I shared the story of her glasses and syncrenicity in this video 🤍

Have you ever received a sign from someone you’ve lost?

Do you ever notice how the signs start appearing when your soul is ready to walk?

The Camino is calling ✨️🥾

At a wedding I recently went to, my meal was served — and there it was: a scallop shell. The symbol of the Camino. The same shell that marks every pilgrim’s path across Spain.

One of many syncrenicity moments!

Maybe the signs are already appearing for you too… are you listening? 👣

➡️ Tell me below — what signs has the universe been sending you lately?

POV: You’re crying over nothing… then laughing at a meme 20 minutes later.
And your husband’s like: “Are you okay?”
Me: “Honestly? I don’t even know.” 😅

But here’s the real talk no one told us:
This is perimenopause.
✔️ Estrogen’s crashing → mood swings.
✔️ Progesterone’s dropping → more anxiety.
✔️ Nervous system → in overdrive.

You’re not crazy.
You’re hormonal.
And you’re definitely not alone. ❤️

I wish more women knew:
When you calm your nervous system + balance your hormones…
the mood swings soften.
the anxiety eases.
the real you comes back.

So go easy on yourself today.
Tag your bestie who’s also crying and laughing right now - let’s normalise this season.

We’re told to keep healing, keep digging, keep fixing.
But maybe what you need isn’t more work—maybe it’s more being.

More stillness.
More laughter.
More moments that remind you you’re already whole.

Nothing worked for my anxiety until i started using melissa oil daily. it helps calm cortisol, soothe racing thoughts, and regulate my nervous system.

If you want my calming melissa oil ritual, drop “calm” in the comments and i’ll send it to you.
