This is a reflective exercise — twelve questions to help you pause and think about where you are in this chapter of life.
There are no right answers. No wrong answers. And no diagnosis at the end.
I’m Jeanette Brown — an educator, not a therapist or psychologist. The written reflection you’ll receive is designed to give you a thoughtful starting point for your own self-coaching. It draws on the work I do around retirement, identity, purpose and designing what comes next.
It is not professional advice.
If you’re going through a difficult time — with your mental health, physical health, relationships, or finances — please reach out to someone qualified to support you, such as your GP, a counsellor, therapist, psychologist, or financial adviser. If you’re in crisis, please contact your local crisis line. In Australia, Lifeline is 13 11 14.
Take your time to answer the questions. There is no need to rush. Choose the responses that feel most honest for you today.
