YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT ALONE
Coaching to Help You Get Out of the Messy Middle & Rebuild After Major Life Change
From “What now?” to “I know what’s next.”
Transitions can feel like identity loss—retirement, divorce, empty nest, a move, or a new role. My coaching process helps you make sense of what’s ending and design what’s beginning, so you can move forward with peace and confidence.
What You Need Next
You’ve weathered a major change — maybe a divorce, a loss, an empty house, a new role, or a move that’s turned your world upside down. You’re standing in a space that feels both unfamiliar and full of possibility. You’ve outgrown the life that once fit you, but the new one hasn’t fully taken shape yet. This work is about helping you find your footing again — not by rushing to rebuild, but by reconnecting to the woman you’re becoming. Together, we’ll uncover what’s next for you through three essential outcomes:
Clarity
When life shifts, everything feels uncertain. The plans, the routines, even your sense of who you are can blur.
In our work, you’ll learn to clear the mental fog and listen to the steady wisdom within you — the one that already knows what’s right.
Instead of trying to think your way through the unknown, you’ll begin to feel your next step — grounded, confident, and aligned with your truth.
Confidence
You’ve spent years showing up for everyone else. Now, it’s time to show up for you.
Together, we’ll quiet the self-doubt and rebuild self-trust so that your choices come from inner knowing, not fear or guilt.
You’ll move from second-guessing to standing firm in your decisions — leading your life with the quiet, unshakable confidence that comes from within.
Purpose
Every ending holds a beginning. This is your moment to reimagine what fulfillment looks like — not by returning to who you were, but by honoring who you’ve become.
Through guided reflection and deep inner work, you’ll reconnect with your passions, rediscover what excites you, and design a future that feels nourishing, authentic, and yours.
The Truth About the Messy Middle
WHY YOU FEEL THIS WAY
Change doesn’t only come from the breaking points. Sometimes it comes from the breakthroughs.
A divorce… or the promotion you worked years for.
A sudden layoff… or a courageous move across the world.
An empty nest… or a dream job you finally said yes to.
Some transitions feel like the ground is dissolving beneath you. Others feel like an invitation to rise higher than ever before. But every major life shift — whether painful or promising — brings the same disorienting questions:
Who am I now that my old identity has dissolved?
Where is my true North pointing?
What do I want next that aligns with my whole self?
WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING INSIDE YOU
If you feel a strange both/and right now, you’re not alone.
Excited about what’s next… and terrified you’ll choose wrong.
Grateful for the opportunity… and overwhelmed by responsibility.
Grieving what you’ve lost… and relieved something has ended.
Proud of how far you’ve come… and unsure you’re ready for what’s ahead.
This tension is the normal conflict between your Essential Self (the part of you that knows) and your Social Self (the part trying to do everything “right”).
This space between what was and what’s next? That’s Square One — the messy middle.
It’s not a sign you’re lost. It’s proof you are becoming.
You’re in the transformation.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Transition Alone.
Starting over when life changes, whether you chose it or it chose you, can make you question everything. Who you are. What you want. Whether you’re capable of making the right choices anymore.
That space between your old life and your new one isn’t failure. It’s just the beginning.
You’re still the hero here. You’re building something braver than what came before. You just don’t need to build it without support.
I’m here as your guide, with a process that brings clarity back online, quiets the self-doubt, and helps you follow the part of you that knows where you’re meant to go.
Together, we’ll shape a future that feels both exciting and grounded. One aligned with who you’re becoming, not who you’ve been pretending to be.
This is where your turning point begins.

UNSHAKEABLE SELF-TRUST
We strengthen the voice inside you that already knows you’re capable of more — and we turn down the one telling you to play small.

TRANSFORMATION THAT LASTS
This is a deep shift in how you make decisions, hold boundaries, and move through your life — long after coaching ends.
Don’t Just Take My Word for it.
Choosing a coach is personal. You want to feel confident that the person guiding you has actually helped others make real, lasting change. That trust is built through stories—the kind told by the women who’ve already walked this path with me.
More than 50 women world-wide have worked with me through life’s biggest crossroads, and every one of those hours together—more than 200 combined—has taught me how to support the next woman even better.
