About

About Me My name is Mariette Weldon, and I am the founder of WomanOverFifty. Thank you for being here.

Wellcome to Woman Over Fifty

Why I Created This Space

Life after fifty is often spoken about as a winding down, a slowing, or an ending.

My own experience has shown me something very different.

I have come to believe that this season of life is not an ending at all — but a crossing point. A place where we pause, look back with honesty, and begin to listen more carefully to what our hearts and souls are asking of us now.

For many women, this season brings:

  • Grief that has never fully been tended
  • Loss — of people, roles, dreams, or certainty
  • A shift in identity and purpose
  • A deeper longing for peace, meaning, and truth

Too often, women are expected to carry these things quietly, to “be strong”, or to move on before they are ready.

I created WomanOverFifty because I felt the need for a space that does not rush healing — and does not dismiss the depth of what women over fifty carry within them.

My Wish for WomanOverFifty

My wish is simple, and deeply personal.

I want WomenOveaFifty to be a safe, gentle, and faith-centred place where women can:

  • Breathe again
  • Make sense of their story
  • Reconnect with God in a quieter, more honest way
  • And begin to see their future with renewed hope

This is not a place for fixing yourself, reinventing yourself overnight, or pretending that everything is fine.

It is a place for tenderness, truth, and becoming.

I believe that women over fifty hold immense wisdom — even when they feel tired, unsure, or broken. Especially then.
