Kia ora and hello, I’m Janine Lattimore
a wellbeing writer and coach here to help people in midlife get off the treadmill of stress and exhaustion, rediscover their joy, and create a life that is aligned with who they really are and what they really want.
For over twenty years have been writing and teaching about wellbeing, mindset, and how to build a life that actually feels good.
The reason I focus specifically on midlife is largely because I am journeying through it. I also think it is one of the most underserved seasons of life in the wellness space from a perspective of more than just hormonal issues, and yet it is a critical time of transition. I write for men and women and focus on issues that affect all gender identities in midlife.
My focus is on providing practical information, and cultivating connection and community, to help all people in midlife slow down, feel better and enjoy life more—one simple step at a time.
