Why I Worked From Paris For A Month After Turning 50

When I turned 50, I gave myself a gift.

Not a designer bag.
Not a party.
Not a weekend away.

I gave myself a full month of working remotely from Paris.

It had been a dream for years.

Not just because Paris is, well… Paris.
But because I wanted to experience what true freedom felt like.

The freedom to run a real business from anywhere.
To choose how I worked.
To design days that blended purpose and pleasure.

So we booked a tiny apartment on the 6th floor of an old walk-up—no elevator, just creaky stairs and charm for days.

Out one window, you could see the Eiffel Tower.
Out the other? Sacré-Cœur.

Each morning, I’d wake up early, grab a cup of tea…
And my dear husband would trek down the stairs to the pâtisserie to get us both fresh pain au chocolat.

We’d sit at our laptops and work until about 1pm.
Emails. Strategy. Coaching calls.

Then we’d shut it all down.

Grab sandwiches from a little corner shop.
And head to Canal Saint-Martin to sit by the water, eat, and be.

No rush. No pressure. Just real life, on our terms.

That’s what I envisioned when I left corporate.

And the truth is: it didn’t happen by luck.

It happened because I built a business with structure.
With a system that worked, whether I was home or halfway across the world.

That’s why I wrote The Fractional Formula.
