But how do I feel exactly? Meanwhile, it has become clear to me that there’s no official recognized name for it, the “phase” I’m going through. But even though there’s no name for it, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. After a period of single-handed ‘’Google (re)search’’ I’m glad to have found strategies to get through this period a hell of a lot easier.

We are all familiar with the various crises, such as puberty, quarter-life crisis, the pre-midlife crisis and midlife crisis. And then there is this new undefined crisis we get around the age of 40.

After a lot of reading and far too much thinking about my thoughts and feelings, I‘ve come up with the following definition: we women spend our 20s and 30s building our friendships, careers, our families, and our marriages. We invest a lot of time and love in our lives – obviously, with the right intention, because we love our families, we love what we do and we love our family and our friends.

And then exactly at this moment of your life, the eve of the start of our 40th year on earth or just after, we finally take a minute to sit back, to take a breath and look at ourselves. You built a career, the children have grown up a little, the marriage as customary… and then all of a sudden, there is space for me (or in your case, space for you). Unfortunately, many of us aren’t completely satisfied with what they see then.

"We invest a lot of work, a lot of time and a lot of love in our lives – all with the right intension."
