S4 Ep37 When Heartbreak Says Go

Ann-Marie Plumb was living the life she thought she was supposed to want. A solid career, a relationship that looked promising, a rhythm that felt familiar and safe. But after losing her mum and facing an unexpected breakup, she reached a point many mid-career women quietly recognise. The point where “fine” is no longer enough.

In this conversation, she speaks with Angela about the moment she realised she needed to start again, the decision to quit her job, pack up her flat, and book a one-way ticket out of the UK, and what two years of travelling the world has taught her about identity, confidence and what really matters.

Ann-Marie shares the emotional and practical realities of rebuilding life from the ground up, choosing to be single and child-free in her late thirties, and why freedom becomes possible the moment you stop waiting for life to happen and start living it on your own terms.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re too old, too late, or too settled to choose a completely different path, this episode will remind you that you’re not. Sometimes the beginning you’ve been waiting for arrives disguised as the ending you didn’t expect.
