Reinventing My Life of Freedom, One Midlife Adventure at a Time

What Allie Rambles Is About

Welcome! I’m Allie.

Avid older hiker. Midlife Crisis conqueror. Self-healer. And hopefully someone who inspires.

Allie Rambles is my all about my Midlife Reinvention. Here you’ll find stories of when I lived solo on the road full-time in my RV and about my passion – hiking.

But most of all you’ll read about my reinventing myself in my middle years; my rebirth at 52 after a toxic relationship left me psychologically bruised and financially broke.

Midlife Reinvention : The RV Life Years

I was 48, recently divorced and an empty-nester. Ready to live my life solo as a strong independent woman.

Selling my home and buying an RV to travel the United States I set out in 2020 to enjoy my newly found freedom. I found the public lands in the western states intoxicating and loving every moment of being able to hike deserts, forests, beaches and mountains.

I was living my dream but something just wasn’t right about it all. I thought it was a romantic partner yet what it was something that didn’t occur to me for more 4 years when I hit bottom.

The Crisis : The End and The Beginning of Who I Truly Am

Four years later, at 52 years old, I realized I had been in the midst of a MIDLIFE CRISIS for years.

After a divorce and becoming an empty-nester, I bought an RV to live on the road. During this time I believed I was doing what was the right thing for me in pursuing love and fun in my late 40s. But what I was really doing was avoiding taking responsibility.

I demonstrated the classic symptoms of avoiding truly growing up, dissatisfaction with my life and had a tinge of depression for years. I reacted to all this recklessly in my love and financial life.

For 4 years I lived with a man that seemed to compliment my lifestyle and attitude yet that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Over time he drained me psychologically and financially until one day he literally dropped me off at my mom’s home – broke, heart-broken, and angry. Apparently, I had nothing else to offer him since I was broke, overweight and psychologically damaged.

This was when I decided to take a hard look into what happened.

How did I let someone so toxic into my life?

Why didn’t I hold my boundaries?

How did I lose it all in just 4 short years?

How will I rebuild my life?

Many questions needed answering.

Allie’s Midlife Future

For the last year I ruminated about my life and the mistakes I’ve made along the way. Not approving of the trajectory I was headed in my 50s I decided to step it up.

In November 2025 I took a retail job that will help me get out of my financial rut.

January 2025 I decided to revitalize my blog and YouTube channel to focus on reinventing my life at 53 years old.

And in May 2025 I released my Monday Midlife Motivations Emails and Goal Setting after 50 project. This stemmed from my own set of 9 Extreme Goals I Set for Myself back in March 2025. I wanted other women my age to know life can change and/or begin in your 50s. Though I was just starting this reinvention journey I knew inviting others to join along was something I felt passionate about.

This is an extremely difficult challenge to face, the hardest one I’ve ever had to endure. But I know when I come out the other end I’ll be stronger.
