Here’s a sneak peak of what happens when you join Second 50:
“Loving how much the women lean in. Loving how supportive Caro and Melissa are. The mapping exercise was intriguing. I found a brilliant mentoring group.”
“It has reached all my expectations. A massive shout out to you Carolyn AND Karen Robertson for the manner in which I have observed and enjoyed my time with you both. Xx”
“My favourite activity was the Integrated Life Design day with Gill McLaren. The smaller group and opportunity for personal reflection was an incredible opportunity for recalibration - THANK YOU.”
“It’s a space that blends accountability with empathy, and every session offers a mix of practical insight and emotional support.”
“I’m refining my business model with more clarity and confidence and feeling less alone and more aligned.”
“A safe and supportive place to bring business goals to the table and make positive steps in making these goals a reality.”
“I appreciate the advice and wisdom from those who have gone before me and created successful businesses for themselves and that gives me confidence to keep putting myself out of my comfort zone”
“I see the concept of a brains trust come alive in every meeting. Women coming together to often vulnerably spit-ball their ideas and others who turn up to hold space and offer valuable reflection.”
“I get as much out of supporting others with their pursuits as I do work shopping my ideas. In gratitude for the trust, holding and incredible insights and advice.”
“I enjoyed meeting inspiring women at the Sydney catch up, and I’ve enjoyed sharing my story and hearing other women’s stories.
“Listening and receiving. I am always energised by and in awe of others and what they have to offer and who they are. Learning learning learning!! Second 50 has this in droves!”
“I love the regular thought pieces from Caro! Plus the Life Design with Gill McClaren has probably been one of the most fantastic self-development activities I have participated in!”

Who should join?
We welcome all women from midlife onwards who want to make your Second 50 count more for yourself and for others. It doesn't matter who you are, or what stage of the journey you are on. You may be:
In paid work, retired, volunteering, studying or in caregiver roles (or juggling these).
Anywhere from your mid-40s onwards and at any stage - including single, partnered, with children at home, empty-nester, caring for relatives, friends, elders, or receiving care yourself.
Feeling stuck and directionless, or already working to a plan with purpose and keen to connect with like-minded women.
Ready to help others as a role model, mentor or expert, or looking for inspiration, know-how and support to find and follow your path.
What matters is that you believe that together, we can be more purposeful, visible and recognised as we rewrite the story for all women in Australia!
“A gift to every woman who chooses to participate.”
