You’ve spent years doing what you were meant to do, raising kids, turning up to work, ticking the boxes. And now?
The kids have moved out (or are nearly there)
The career chapter’s slowing down,
and for the first time in decades… you’ve got space. Maybe even too much of it.
 
So you ask the big one: What are we gonna do now?
 
This book is for that exact moment - a guide to letting go and living fully.
 
When you’re no longer defined by your job title, your diary isn’t full of school pick-ups and work deadlines, and you’re wondering what comes next.
 
With honesty, humour, and a healthy disregard for cookie-cutter advice, Gary Drummond guides you through the messy, brilliant in-between, that bit where you’re no longer who you were, and not yet sure who you’re becoming.
 
In this down-to-earth, no-rules guide, you’ll find:
Permission to let go of old roles, routines, and expectations
A space to rethink what you want from this next chapter
Practical tools for reconnecting with what matters to you
Honest stories, scribble space, and bold Aussie encouragement
 
This isn’t a reinvention handbook or a retirement manual. It’s a companion for the shift, the quiet transformation that happens when you stop running on autopilot and start asking deeper questions.
 
If you're standing on the edge of what's next, unsure but curious, this is your invitation to take a breath, have a laugh, and make a start. There’s no right way to do this but doing nothing? That’s not the answer either.
