Hi, I’m Saffron! A former newspaper journalist living in Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. I am a storyteller, midlife mum, and fitness enthusiast, a midlife thinker, balancing real-life mothering in my 40s, and self-reflection. My blog is where I think out loud about women’s health, wellbeing, identity, and modern family life with lived-in experience. My writing is rooted in experience, not aspiration. I don’t chase influencer trends. I write for the woman who wants something real. I am the voice of a friend who’s waded through the fog, and still has questions.
