Can you do something for yourself right now?
Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you know who you are outside of the roles you play in your life?

  • Do you find yourself reaching for alcohol instead
    of feeling your midlife feels?

  • Do you beat yourself up for not being where you
    thought you would be at this point?

  • Do you feel betrayed by your body as it goes through perimenopause?

In my early 40s, I lived with a growing sense of dissatisfaction when I thought about my life up to that moment. Instead of being curious about what was causing the dissatisfaction,
I focused on playing the wife and mommy roles my family expected me to play
and drank a lot of vodka.

What makes my midlife coaching program
different is that I work with your real life as it is right now

My coaching techniques are loosely based on Stoicism and its tools.
After our coaching session(s), you will:
- learn who you are outside of the external roles you’ve lived for years
- feel comfortable again in your own brain
- be more engaged with life while giving fewer fucks
- start to play an active role in your own life.

I did the work to become who I really am.
And I’ve helped women to do the work to become who they really are.
I know I can help you flourish in midlife.

Imagine waking up each morning knowing who you really are:
a badass woman in midlife

    Each package comes with detailed coach notes and homework.

    After one-on-one coaching with me, you will:

    • know your identity outside of mom, wife, sister, friend, employee

    • lean into your unique values

    • feel comfortable in your own skin AND brain

    • be more present and give fewer fucks.

  • Do you already know who you are and what you are on this planet
    to do but life gets in the way of taking the next right step?

    Do you need a quick session to get you out of your own head?

    Do you need a sweary and compassionate kick in the ass to just keep going?

    This one off 90-minute session will help refocus you on what you need to do next to flourish like a boss.

  • Come as who you really are and bring your friends or colleagues or knitting peeps for an up-to three hour workshop!

    During this three-hour, hands-on, workshop, you and your peeps will get clear on your identity and values, increase your confidence in midlife, and learn some tools to sustain the awesomeness. You’ll also get real-life proof that you can do hard things.

    Be inspired by other women sharing their stories, laugh at how ridiculous we can all be, and leave knowing you are a badass woman in midlife.
