She outgrew the labels, now she blooms on her own terms.
Midlife in Blossom is a genre-defying novel that blends storytelling with soulful reflection. Authored by Salochanee Reddy, a trauma-informed leadership and wellness expert with two decades of experience designing women’s well-being programs across Africa, the book speaks to the quiet transformations many face but few articulate: identity shifts, invisible labour, reinvention, and the courage it takes to come home to oneself.
At its core is the story of Clara, a woman navigating the unspoken thresholds of midlife — letting go of roles that once defined her, facing life-altering changes, and finding unexpected clarity in the chaos.
Each chapter ends with thoughts on the symbolism, relatability and themes that offer profound insights into being a woman in the 21st century. Timely, evocative, and deeply resonant, Midlife in Blossom is for anyone standing at the edge of change — asking not “what now?” but “what’s possible?”
