Women on a Wobble by Fi Ivin
Women on a Wobble is a practical guide for women over 40…
Changing life roles can lead to an almost traumatic crisis of identity for many women. After a nasty redundancy, a high flying client felt empty and useless, pessimistic about her future career. A news article featured the wives of wealthy men marooned in their large house and self medicating with shopping, alcohol etc. to ease their loneliness and boredom as children become increasingly independent and their sense of value and purpose slipped away. Some women are in danger of losing everything that is important to them such as loved ones, families or careers, often leaving a trail of hurt and destruction behind them. Others quietly put up with their changing life roles, sliding into various degrees of depression without even realising it and occasionally wondering ‘Who am I? What is life about?’ en route. This book is a practical, fun drive through many of the issues which create a wobble. This book will guide you through your own transformation. It is the result of working with hundreds of women and the author’s own experiences of working through life’s wobbles to find that moment when it seems like a light has gone on in a darkened room.
Fi Ivin is an author, speaker, trainer, coach and stylist. She unintentionally fell into teaching at secondary level as a safe way of pursuing her love of drama and keeping family happy! Compromising on something so important was the beginning of a ‘wobble’. She’s spent the last 17 years as a coach and stylist working with hundreds of women, from senior directors of international companies to mums feeling redundant as their children grow into increasing independence, worked through her own wobbles and has trained and re-trained. In this time she has accrued lots of skills, resources and tools and taken those that bring lasting change and assembled them into a three-step process of very practical steps for women who are experiencing their own crisis of identity because of change to their personal lives or careers. www.womenonawobble.com
