Have you ever put off a dream, waiting for the "right" moment? Many of us do. But what if that perfect time never arrives? I'm Teresa, and my friends call me T. I'm a woman in my 40s, and I'm finally starting my YouTube channel after years of dreaming about it.

Life Doesn't Always Follow the Plan

I live in Sydney, Australia, and my life doesn't quite fit the traditional mold. I believe in creating a life that excites you and living on your own terms. That's why I'm making some changes, starting today. If you're a woman who wants to make changes too, you're in the right place.

What Took So Long?

Why start now? Last year, I went through a breakup. Recently, I lost my mom. These events made me think about what I truly want in life. I realized life is short, and I need to start making plans now. There will never be a perfect time to start something. I don't want to wait any longer to share what I've learned, show you what I'm creating, and share how I want to live my life.

I've wanted to start this channel for over ten years. I had ideas about personal growth, travel, being productive, and living life on my own terms. But I also had fear. Every year, I told myself I would start, but I didn't. After my breakup and my mom's passing, something changed. I stopped waiting for the perfect time. I started making time for the life I actually wanted to live.

10 Reasons Why I'm Starting Now

Here's why I'm finally taking the leap:

  1. I have a lot to share

  2. I've been waiting long enough.

  3. I want to record this new chapter of my life.

  4. I want more financial freedom.

  5. I want to be more creative.

  6. I want to stay on track with my goals.

  7. I want less stress and more joy.

  8. I want to make my own money doing what I love.

  9. I don't want my skin condition to hold me back anymore.

  10. I want to build a community.

What You Can Expect On this channel,

you can expect:

  • Honest chats

  • Digital product ideas

  • Planning systems

  • Side hustle experiments

  • Blogs from housesits and rural trips

  • Stories from a woman building a bold life outside the traditional path

This isn't about becoming a famous YouTuber. It's about becoming me. I'll post new videos every week. My next two videos will cover my 5-year plan as a woman in her 40s and what living outside the traditional path looks like for me.
