The Longer Game

Everything We Know. Honestly Written.

This is where the thinking goes. Guides, reviews, comparisons, personal stories and the occasional thing that’s just worth saying. All of it written for people in their 40s and beyond who are done being sold things they don’t need, told things they already know and are at the stage that they don’t need more ‘stuff’ – that doesn’t benefit them, isn’t useful or practical.  

We write one/two pieces a week. Each one is designed to be genuinely useful, something you can read, act on, and come back to. Not content for the sake of content. Content for the  pure reason of actually being helpful (Shock Horror). 

Browse by pillar below, or scroll through the latest. If something resonates, the newsletter is the best way to make sure you don’t miss the next one.

As we grow, our library of content will grow across all life areas and we will invite experts in their field to share their knowledge with us.

Practical nutrition for the post-40 body. Protein, gut health, what to actually eat, without the meal plans, the fads, or the lectures about things you already know you should be doing.

Travel & Adventure

Active holidays, cultural breaks and honest travel recommendations for people who want more from a trip than a sunlounger (but seriously no judgement here – sunlounger, Pimms – SOLD!) Europe, further afield, and some of the best places you've been walking past for years.

Work & Life

Flexible working, fractional,consultancy, career pivots and the art of redesigning your week. For people who are done with the current pace and are quietly working out what comes next.

Wellbeing

Sleep, stress, mental health and the unglamorous mechanics of feeling good in your 40s, 50s and 60s. Honest, practical, and not trying to sell you a retreat.
