Happy Monday, Ladies!
I hope you all enjoyed your Father’s Day yesterday and had a chance to relax a little bit. We had a wonderfully relaxing day filled dads, grandads and family. The weekend was also accompanied by a few butterflies, as we get ready to send these boys off this week to summer camp. My little one for his first time.
My name is Marnie. I am a 40-something woman, girl, lady, mother, sister, daughter, aunt… you get the picture. I am currently at the peak of transition in my life– starting over in every conceivable way. Living in a new city. Subletting as my material world lays in storage. I can literally go anywhere, become anyone, do anything. My true accountability is only to myself, as I am at the beginning of my journey with just me in tow… and maybe a carry-on or two depending on the day. My words are from my soul, they are real and hopefully they are relatable. My hope is to help other souls beginning anew in uncharted territory.
Father’s Day on Sunday is a strange day for me. Heavy and yet not heavy, and I will share why.
Summer is almost here, and I am so excited to show this to you today!
Let me give you a little teaser first… Madonna, New York City, golf, Tremblant, California, Broadway, PK Subban.
Yup. 😉

Here I am, 4.30pm on a Wednesday afternoon, 32 years of age and propping up a bar in Stamford, CT. I look around and there’s plenty of men, doing the same as me, drinking alone, yet I’m the one getting the ‘what’s your story’ looks.
Before you judge me let me explain why I’m here.
Five weeks ago on Friday, I became an expat. I moved from my home of London, England to Connecticut. The catalyst for the move? My husband’s job. He has worked for the same company for seven years and they recently offered him a transfer to the US.
Saw this on Instagram, loved, and had to share.
‘Cuz I think this is a universal struggle. Actually, a daily on the fence dilemma. We all wanna look great, but we all (mostly all), love to eat!
As I once read,
Everyday I struggle between, “I want to look good naked” and “Treat ‘Yo Self!”
Hit 40 this year, and the struggle is real.
My son was blue, limp, lifeless, silent… essentially dead. And then in five moments of interminable chaos, stress, hysteria and prayer, my daughter and I brought him back to life.

Please note, I received special permission from Sheryl Sandberg to share her important message with WomenOnTheFence.com readers. She understood the mission of our blog to inspire women to get off the fence and…
Being superwoman isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, is it? Between work, taking care of the house, the children and white knuckling the last threads of your social life, doing it all means you probably have a lack luster sex life. By the end of the day, any sex, let alone adventurous sex, isn’t even a remote possibility.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
