Every Day a Sunday

Does this sound familiar?

You've worked hard your whole life.
So why does it still feel like you're not free?

These are the thoughts most women in their late 40s and 50s never say out loud. But they think them. Regularly. If any of these land, this evening is for you.

I could still be doing this exact job when I'm 67. And that thought honestly makes my stomach drop.

I hate that I still have to ask permission to take time off. I'm a grown woman and someone else still decides when I can live my life.

I've worked hard my entire life. And yet I still feel trapped by the very job that pays me.

I don't hate my job. What I hate is the feeling that I have no real choice but to keep doing it.

The older I get, the faster the years disappear. Another ten years of the same routine feels unbearable.

The thought that scares me most isn't failing. It's reaching 60 and realising I never changed anything when I still had the chance.

You didn't work your whole life to feel like this.
And the good news is - you don't have to accept it as the plan.

Show me another way

What changes

What life looks like when you stop reacting and start choosing

You know your actual number

Not a vague pension hope. Not a figure someone else gave you. The real monthly income you need to step back - and it's almost certainly smaller than you think.

You stop asking permission

No rota to work around. No request form to submit. Your time becomes yours to decide - not because you quit, but because you built something that gives you options.

The next decade looks different

Not the same alarm, the same commute, the same counting down to retirement. A version of the next ten years you actually chose - built alongside the life you already have.

You stop watching others do it

The women your age who seem to have more freedom? They didn't have more luck. They just decided not to accept the default path. This is where that decision starts.

What you'll discover on the night

Secrets most women in their 50s were never told

You won't find this in a pension leaflet. You won't hear it from your HR department. Come and find out.

01
How much you actually need to retire onIt's probably not what you think - and discovering the real number live will change how you see everything.
02
The retirement myth that's keeping you stuckOne widely believed assumption is quietly making early retirement feel impossible. We'll destroy it in the first twenty minutes.
03
Why your pension is probably not the problem you think it isMost women are looking at this the wrong way. There's a completely different question to be asking - and the answer is far more achievable.
04
The one thing that separates women who retire early from those who don'tIt isn't savings. It isn't luck. It isn't even income. Most women are genuinely surprised when they hear this.
05
How women your age are building income without quitting their jobsNo starting from scratch. No risky moves. Something that sits alongside the life you already have - and compounds over time.
06
The first step that changes the next ten yearsNot a to-do list. Not a five-year plan. One clear, practical decision that you can make tonight - if it's right for you.
07
What happens to the women who do nothingThis one is harder to hear. But it might be the most important thing on this list.
08
Why starting now matters more than starting perfectlyThe women who waited for the right moment are still waiting. The ones who didn't - aren't.

I want to know this - save my place

If you do nothing

A year from now, you could still be exactly here.

Not because you're not capable. Not because the opportunity wasn't there. But because you didn't take the one evening that could have changed the direction of the next decade.

Still setting the same alarm

Monday morning. Same commute. Same meetings. Same feeling that this wasn't the life you planned - with no idea how to change it.

Still asking for time off

Filling in the same form. Hoping the dates get approved. Another year of your life scheduled around someone else's rota.

Still watching others step back

Women your age doing things differently. Travelling more. Working less. And you still telling yourself they must have had advantages you didn't.

Still hoping the pension works out

Not looking at the numbers too closely. Telling yourself it'll be fine. Knowing deep down that it might not be.

Still telling yourself you'll sort it later

When things calm down. When the kids are settled. When the time is right. But the time is never right. And later becomes never.

Another year closer to 67

Another year of the decade you still had. Gone. Without a single thing having changed.

Do you want to be sitting in the same place a year from now - still wishing you'd done something about it?

No. I'm doing something about it tonight.

What to expect on the night

Real. Grounded. No performance.

Have a pen ready

We do a live exercise together during the session. You'll work out your actual retirement number - not a guess, not a projection someone else made, but a real figure based on your life. Most women find it's far smaller than they expected. That moment tends to change things.

Straight talking, no fluff

No hype. No promises. No inspirational fluff that means nothing on a Monday morning. Just an honest conversation about where you are, what's possible, and what it actually takes to change the direction of the next ten years.

A year from now you'll either wish you'd started - or be glad you did.

The women who change their lives don't do it when everything feels ready. They do it when they're tired enough of nothing changing. If that's where you are right now - this is the evening.

Save my free place - Wednesday 6 May

Who I am

Chrissie Mayes

I'm not a guru. I'm not a millionaire. I'm just a woman who hit a point in midlife where life started making decisions for me - and I realised how exposed that felt.

A series of changes came along that I hadn't planned for and couldn't control. Not because I lacked resilience or drive - but because money limits your options. When you don't have financial leverage, you don't get choice. You adapt, you compromise, you accept things you wouldn't otherwise accept.

That was the moment that really landed for me. A quiet, uncomfortable realisation that if I carried on as I was, I'd always be reacting instead of choosing. Always adjusting instead of deciding. And I promised myself I wouldn't live like that again.

So I started doing something about it. It hasn't been neat or easy. There have been moments of frustration, fear, and serious self-doubt. But there's also been energy. Momentum. A sense that I'm finally back in the driving seat. My partner and I are making plans again - not hypothetical "one day" plans, but real ones - and living life alongside them.

Things aren't finished or perfect. But they're moving. And that matters. Now I help other women who recognise that feeling - and don't want to let it happen again.
