Formerly A Grown Up's Gap Year.

How To Run Away (& Other Handy Hints for Your Next Bit) is a podcast about the next bit of life: health, long marriages, ageing parents, young adult children (kidults), friendship, community, travel, purpose, and how midlife women stay properly engaged with it all.

Hosted by bestselling Australian author, clinical nutritionist and wellbeing coach Monique van Tulder, the show explores the emotional logistics of adult life: mental load, caregiving, solo travel, brain health, longevity, healthspan, perimenopause and menopause, financial wellbeing, long-term relationships, healthy ageing, empty nest, reinvigoration, and what the next decades might actually look like.

Through expert interviews, storytelling, cultural observation, and useful conversations, Monique asks:

What kind of woman do we want to become, how would we like her to age, and how do we start designing her life now?

The 90-year-old version of you? She is watching.

Part conversation. Part perspective shift. Part useful nudge.

There will occasionally be hotels (Monique loves a hotel stay), golf (happy place for her and The Bloke), emotional admin, hearing aids, resentment, cold-water swims, and discussions about wearing the good dress on a Tuesday. 

Nothing is off the table if it means our epitaph will never read, "F**k, I forgot to live my life."

New episodes weekly. For midlife women, sandwich generation carers, and anyone asking what comes next.
