It’s crazy to me that our 12 weeks is over. I came to you when I had an awakening during a very challenging time in my life. I’ve been struggling with my career for the last two years and as we talked you learned that my career has always been a big part of my life. I’ve always titled myself as a career loving mom. In the last two years I left TWO corporate jobs, one that I loved for 17 years until I totally burnt myself out. The second corporate job I took on a rebound because I was sad that I ended my relationship of 17 years at my first corporate job. I’ve never been so lost when I decided that I needed to quit my second corporate job because that job was a whole new level of toxicity.
I can’t imagine the feeling you felt when I basically attacked you with verbal diarrhea at how frustrated and unhappy I am at this point in my life. I was over 50 years old and wondering how it is possible to be at this point in my career, just lost. You helped me and your MidLife Makeover Program was what I needed. I did feel a connection to you at our first consult meeting and I felt I was going to be in a safe place without any judgement.
You challenged me to look at things differently. I came in with “I need YOU to help me with my career” but I came out of it with learning to help ME first, putting MY oxygen mask on first, getting to a point of rebuilding my confidence and my wellbeing, and once I did that I can determine what kind of career and culture I wanted to be in again. Ultimately, my lack of control over my career was just a symptom of something deeper within myself. The MidLife Makeover is not something you can get just from reading books or listening to self-help podcasts. Your program made me accountable to myself and it made me practice what my intentions will be as I continue to live my best life.
Thank you! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my journey. I’m excited for what 2024 will bring. I’m more ready than ever to live the rest of my life knowing what I want and what it will give back to me.
All the best!
Empowering women through all stages and transitions of their lives and careers
You’re a strong, ambitious, career woman who has hustled her way to the top. Long days. Late nights. Big job. Big title. All while managing your family, raising your kids, running your home, dealing with parents, and let’s not forget about the voluntary work on weekends!
They told us women "can have it all" and you proved them right! You did it! Working mom. Great leader. You’re a woman who can take charge and step out powerfully in the world with confidence. You own your voice and your own space and project yourself as a true leader in your life and your career! And it used to feel really good, right?
Except one day, you woke up and you realized that you’re:
Unhappy. Dissatisfied. Worn out.
This working mom, having it all thing, is exhausting. Having it all meant losing parts of yourself along the way. Having it all meant being taken for granted and feeling undervalued. Having it all meant staying silent to keep the peace and survive another day, showing up to a job day after day that was exhausting and unfulfilling, another project, another meeting and heaven knows you already have enough stress at home – picky kids, tired partner, homework, after school activities...the list goes on.
Having it all meant your needs always came last.
It feels like it was a great lie and you believed it (to be fair, we all did).
Are you:
-
- Feeling constantly overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities and all that you do for everyone else?
- Doubting yourself about your past choices, decisions and mistakes?
- Feeling lost from all the messages you've bought into telling you who you should and are allowed to be?
- Resentful at seeing the dreams you once had...slipping away as you’re so consumed with supporting everyone else with their dreams?
- Dissatisfied in your relationships as you see the disempowering dynamics you've allowed to take root in your life?
- Stuck in a rut in your career, working on autopilot but not sure what else to do even if you could, you’ve been at it so long?
- Stuck and powerless to get past the negative feelings and make any kind of change in your life?
- Wondering "is this it? Is this really how I’ll live the rest of my life?"
I have learned and experienced a lot along the way, and my job, passion and purpose now is to be able to share it with you!
