Living on her own timeline - Donna Fortune's midlife unravelling
from Unravelling: The Diary of a Midlife Mess · host Sharon Wilkes-Burt
In this episode of The Unravelling, I’m joined by Donna — a life-seeking, deep-thinking, conversation-loving woman who’s discovering what it really means to live on her own timeline.From modelling in her 20s, to embracing motherhood in her 30s, to starting over with photography in her 40s, Donna has always done things a little later than expected — and she’s learning that maybe that’s her strength. Now in her 50s, she’s navigating the changes of menopause, the shifting face in the mirror, and the unravelling of relationships that no longer feel balanced.We talk about ageing, beauty standards, and the way midlife asks us to let go of who we’ve been in order to step into who we’re becoming. Donna also shares her belief that the challenges women face with hormones today may be shaped by the environment we live in, and why she thinks this messy middle is less about answers and more about awareness.Alongside her personal journey, Donna has built a business as a personal brand photographer and consultant. Through Donna Fortune Photography, she helps women show up authentically in front of the camera, with a strong desire to promote a healthy self-image and a positive approach to ageing.If you’ve ever felt the “WTF” of midlife while also being excited for what’s ahead, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Connect with Donna here: 📸 Instagram: @donna_fortune_photography 🌐 Website: donnafortunephotography.com Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Unravelling: The Diary of a Midlife Mess.If something resonated with you today, I’d love to hear your thoughts, come join the conversation on Facebook and Instagram @theglowupguide_au or visit sharonwilkesburt.com for more resources and support.Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review if you’re enjoying the journey so far!
