Which best describes you?
I want to audit my life

You might be here because you've been following TheBestBitYet on Instagram (@thebestbityet), found me through Substack, or read one of my articles. Either way, welcome.
There's a real shift happening: midlife women stepping back from careers they've spent decades building, or finding themselves out of work altogether as industries and job markets change around them.
TheBestBitYet exists to help women figure out how to make midlife and beyond the best bit yet. If you're here, it's probably because you're already asking that question, whether you need to address it right now or if it's something you want to plan towards.
Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of life, juggling everything, never having quite enough time, feeling disconnected from yourself, going through the motions. Or maybe you have a sense that something isn't right, without being sure where to start. TheBestBitYet exists to close the gap between where you are now, and the kind of life you want to enjoy in midlife and beyond.
The time is now
You're not alone in this, and the numbers back that up. There's never been a better time to evaluate where you are, and plan for the life you want.
