Hello, I’m Sarah
Making room for more.
I created this Blueprint because I know the feeling of wondering what comes next and wanting some of it to be for you. My own midlife reinvention has included writing The Midlife Reboot and building an online business.
Your version might look very different. These pages are here to help you find your starting point.

A few useful answers
Before you begin.
Is this for me if my children have already left?
Yes. Whether you’re preparing for an empty nest or have been living with one for a while, the exercises start with where you are now and what you’d like more of.
Do I need to take the quiz first?
No. The Blueprint mentions a readiness score, but you can skip that box and start with Part 1. The quiz is an optional way to help you decide where to focus.
How do I use the fillable PDF?
Download and save the file, then open it in a PDF reader that supports forms. You can type into the fields and save your answers as you go. A computer or tablet gives you more room to work.
Do I have to want an online business?
No. Your next step might be a new interest, a different career, travel, a creative project or a business. The workbook helps you explore your own ideas, at your own pace.
Is the Blueprint free?
Yes. Enter your details above and I’ll email you the fillable workbook. You’ll also receive occasional ideas and updates from Best Life Loading, with an unsubscribe link in every email.
A little clarity.
A starting point that’s yours.
You don’t need to know exactly what comes next. Just give yourself a little room to explore.
