Welcome- I’m so glad you’re here.
If you are navigating the disorientation of a midlife transition, then I want to you to know that you are not alone. We spend so much time caring for others, that when we reach midlife and we see that many of the roles and expectations from the past decades no longer fit who we are becoming.
My own journey started when I went through a series of transitions in my 40’s and 50’s. I was a divorced single mother, when I became the primary caregiver for both of my parents in 2021. My mother had Alzheimer’s disease and my father had a stroke which left him unable to live independently, let alone care for my mother in her declining state.
While caring for both of them, I was navigating my children graduating and leaving the nest. I was also experiencing a series of career transitions including changing jobs voluntarily, being laid off, some time unemployed, and even being fired from a job I didn’t enjoy.
When both of my parents passed away in 2024 and 2025., all the weight of those responsibilities was lifted, but I didn’t feel relieved, I just felt lost. I realized that I had spent so much of my life caring for others, that I didn’t have any interests or hobbies for myself.
I took a year sabbatical to find me! It was just what I needed. During this year, I felt called to help and guide others through some of the same feelings and transitions that I had been through. I combine my background as a social worker and my training as a Master Certified Life Coach to help women navigate their own midlife transitions. I love helping my clients as they rediscover who they were always meant to be!
