"Stop saying 'I'm fine' when you're not. Let's talk truth instead."

My Story Isn't Pretty, But It's Real

I see you. I see you juggling everyone else's needs while your own dreams collect dust. I see you saying "I'm fine" when you're anything but fine. And, it's time we change that conversation.

My journey began like so many others—perfecting the art of holding everything together while quietly falling apart inside. As a military spouse, I mastered the "I'm fine" response even when my world was crumbling. Sound familiar?

Then everything changed in an instant. My husband Geoff was severely injured in combat—above-knee amputation, traumatic brain injury, and injuries that forced us to confront a new reality where "I'm fine" wasn't just a lie, it was impossible.

That crisis became my wake-up call. While rebuilding our lives from the ground up, I discovered something powerful: midlife isn't about settling—it's about rising.

Through our journey of rebuilding, I found my calling: helping other women navigate their own times of crisis, transition, and transformation. I learned that life's most difficult challenges can become our greatest catalysts for growth—if we're willing to stop pretending everything is fine and start getting real about what we need.

What Makes Me Different

Forget the fluff and feel-good platitudes. I bring Midlife Candor—raw, honest conversations about the messy middle of life that nobody talks about. No toxic positivity. No "just think positive" garbage. Just honest conversation about navigating midlife transitions, rediscovering your identity, and finally—FINALLY—putting yourself first without apologizing for it.

My Midlife Candor Promise

Whether you're dealing with empty nest syndrome, career transitions, relationship changes, or simply feeling lost in the middle of your own life, I'll meet you exactly where you are with practical strategies and permission to prioritize your own happiness.

My approach combines:

My family motto guides everything I do: "Life happens, live creative." Real transformation happens when we stop merely surviving and start intentionally creating the life we desire.
