Helping You Find Your Voice and Reclaim the Life You Were Meant to Have.

I think that mid-life for women is less about a crisis, and more about an awakening. We are looking up from the relentless crush of responsibilities, after years or even decades of putting everyone else first... only to realize we lost ourselves along the way.

Who were you MEANT TO BE.. before the world told you who you should be?

Helping You Align Your Life.

Unlock Your Full Potential. Say Hello to THE NEW YOU

I'm not here to wave a magic wand and fix everything you want to change. Really - what I do is to hold up a mirror so you can see your life from an alternate perspective - and give you some TOOLS to fix what YOU want to change.

Feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities in your life?

So tired you can barely function?

Did you get so buried in your to-do's that you don't have time for want-to-dos?

Are you looking around and wondering... is this IT?

Goal Setting

Get it! You've got goals! How do you make it happen?

Communication Tune-up

You meant THIS but they heard THAT. Why?

Stress Management

Overwhelm, Stress, People-pleasing, lack of boundaries, we all have vices.

Overwhelm Alignment

When it's all too much, sometimes what you need is a new strategy.

What Does it look like?

Who is Coaching For?

It looks like a friend... you know the one. She digs into the latest research on whatever just for FUN ?? You need advice, and she's the one you turn to.

The only difference is I'm just asking you to make an appointment before we talk.

Moms who need help with household management

Women who lost their "spark"

Someone who is too tired to do the things.

Anyone who's looking for "what's next"

Anyone who's wondering "this is IT?"

About Me

I'm not arrogant enough to think I have all the answers. I don't.

What I do have is several "life resets" that have forced me to take a loooong look at what my life was, and what I wanted it to be. After reading countless books, attending workshops, listening to podcasts, and diving down YouTube rabbit holes, I realized... this is a societal problem. Women are too often told what we should value, and rarely asked who or what we actually are.

You can trust me with your stories, because chances are, I've been there too. And chances are, I can help you climb back out.

I'm here to help you find your voice, and reclaim your life.

The Latest from the Blog

don't break

Bend and fold but don’t break.

June 26, 20231 min read

“Not only are bloggers suckers for the remarkable, so are the people who read blogs .” - Seth Godin

You can bend until you fold.

and You can’t stand any longer.

You can carry it all.

Your struggles and everyone else’s.

You can break

You can watch your life burn to the ground from a carelessly thrown match.

don't break

You can shatter into a million pieces like broken glass.

You can stand in the middle of the rubble and scream… Why Me?

You can break.

And…

You can put yourself back together, a shard, a thought, a day at a time.

You will cut yourself on the sharp edges.

You will get burned by the fire.

You will choke on the smoke and ash.

You will cut your feet as you walk through broken glass.

You will hurt as you do it.

And,

One day without even knowing it’s happened, you will be whole again.

There will be no more pieces to glue, no more remnants of that you.

There will be no more smoke in the air, or haze in the sky.

There will be no more.

You will look around and realize it’s done.

You will come out stronger, better, and wiser than before.

You will find reserves you didn’t know you possessed.

You will have a whole new life.

A better life.

You can break and be better for it.


Light it up, watch it burn.

And then… you rise.

You can rise like you were meant to.

You can become who you were meant to be.

You can spread those wings, and

You can FLY.


You can.

Find Your Balance. Set Your Goals. Reclaim Your Life. Reward Yourself.

I believe that with women, midlife is much less of a crisis and more of an awakening. It’s the point in our lives where we finally shed all the societal expectations of what we should do and should be, and we step into the selves that we buried deep inside and arguably should have allowed ourselves to be the whole time.


My ideal life looks like: home, family, creativity, and passion. Sprinkle in some fun and laughter and enjoy every minute.

Let me help you define and then create yours.
