Hi, I'm Trixy (a nickname I use to protect my privacy while sharing my authentic journey), a mathematician turned software engineer based in Europe. After years of chasing career milestones and working in high pressure tech roles, I hit burnout and realized I wanted more than just another job title. Like many professionals over 40, I found myself wondering: What's next?
About Midlife Launchpad
I created Midlife Launchpad as my own reinvention project and as a resource for seasoned professionals like me who want to pivot, build financial confidence, and design a life with more freedom and meaning.
I'm not financially independent (yet), and I don't have all the answers. But I'm committed to learning, experimenting, and sharing everything I discover along the way, from practical AI resilient strategies to honest stories about navigating career transitions in midlife.
Why I Stay Anonymous
While my story is 100% authentic, I choose to remain faceless to protect my privacy as I navigate this transition alongside my full time engineering role.
I know first-hand how important it is to have space to explore new directions quietly—without risking my current job or feeling watched. If you’re in a similar spot, you’re not alone. This is a place where you can experiment, learn, and plan your next move discreetly
Who This Is For
Midlife Launchpad serves experienced professionals aged 40-65 worldwide who are ready to transform career uncertainty and AI anxiety into catalysts for meaningful change.
Whether you're feeling stuck in traditional employment, worried about technological disruption, or seeking accelerated paths to financial independence, you'll find peer to peer guidance here.
My perspective is shaped by my European base, so you'll find insights on navigating regional considerations, from EU pension integration to VAT compliance for digital ventures. However, the core challenges we face (career stagnation, AI adaptation, compressed financial timelines) transcend borders.
What You'll Find Here
Condensed strategies designed for busy professionals with limited time for lengthy courses
Technical insights from someone actively working in the AI disrupted tech industry
Transparent progress updates as I build my own path to financial independence
Practical tools for professionals who need sophisticated financial strategies, not basic budgeting advice
If you're looking for honest insights, actionable strategies, and a focused community for your next chapter, from someone walking the same path rather than selling from the mountaintop, you're in the right place.
