Although I have felt like a relatively empowered person for most of my life, I was really surprised by the cascade of difficult changes that have come in midlife (menopause, coming out, divorce, empty nesting).  These changes have been an opportunity to approach my choices differently, and step into a new chapter of authenticity, vibrancy and aliveness.  At 53 years old, I honestly feel better than any other decade of my life, and I want to help other women feel their absolute best, too!

It started five years ago, with my decision to quit drinking alcohol.  I was a "gray-area drinker," which means that by most people's standards I wasn't drinking "a lot," but it was enough to numb feelings of dissatisfaction, fear and apathy about some things in my life.  
 
For me, alcohol had become a comfortable habit that was a little too comfortable.  It was a way to relax, to cope with stress, and to avoid some things I'd rather not deal with.  But alcohol made me feel not only physically bad, but psychologically bad, creating more stress in my life.

Ultimately, by quitting drinking, I eventually came to terms with the fact that I needed to make some big changes in my life - and for me that included getting divorced and coming out as gay.

Around that time, I also navigated perimenopause, became an empty-nester, got an ADHD diagnosis, and had my two business partners leave management/ownership of our business.

I navigated a LOT of change, in a short amount of time.

What I learned was that:
1. I needed structure and support, in order to create the most authentic, empowered version of myself ever, and
2. I needed to optimize my energy to do it.  This meant better sleep, better nutrition and a different approach to movement.

Now, I am living a life that feels more free, more authentic, more empowered and more ALIVE!  I have taken charge of my life and I feel better than I have in ANY other decade of life. I'm excited to help other women navigate their own changes to create a more intentional, empowered next chapter.
