Your next chapter starts now…

I help high-achieving women in their 40s and 50s design their next chapter after parenting by providing actionable steps and personalized support to help them confidently unlock new opportunities and embrace their next chapter with clarity and confidence.

There’s a long way from 40 to finished…

Women in Midlife Often Feel Stuck for One of Six Reasons

  1. Loss of identity: You’ve spend decades parenting, often at the expense of their own personal growth and interests. You may feel a profound sense of loss, wondering who they are beyond being a parent.

  2. Fear of Irrelevance: There's a societal undercurrent that suggests a woman's value diminishes as she ages. This can lead to a fear of becoming irrelevant, both in the professional world and in personal circles.

  3. Overwhelm with Newfound Freedom: While the prospect of more free time is initially appealing, it can also be overwhelming. You feel paralyzed by the sheer number of possibilities or the pressure to find their "next big thing."

  4. Guilt Over Self-Focus: After years of prioritizing your children's needs, shifting focus to your own wants and needs can feel selfish. This guilt can be a significant barrier to pursuing personal goals and happiness.

  5. Anxiety About the Future: Uncertainty about what the future holds, especially in terms of personal fulfillment and purpose, can lead to anxiety. You worry about your financial security, your relationships, and whether you can find new passions to pursue.

  6. Isolation and Loneliness: As children leave home, you may feel isolated, especially if your social circles were largely built around your children's activities. The loss of daily parenting duties can exacerbate feelings of loneliness, making it challenging to connect with others who understand your experiences.

Rediscovering your purpose after kids with a coach means you navigate the transition more confidently, stepping into your next chapter with clarity and vitality.

At this stage of life, many women find themselves standing at a crossroads. The busy days of parenting are shifting, leaving a space that's ripe for rediscovery but also riddled with questions. "What's next for me?" "Can I find fulfillment beyond my role as a parent?" It's here, in this space of uncertainty, that the journey to rediscovering your purpose begins.

I'm Deanna, and I’m walking this path with you. As a twin mom who transitioned from being fully immersed in parenting to seeking out my own purpose, I understand the mix of excitement and apprehension this change brings. My journey led me to become a certified coach, behavioral consultant, and counselor in training, equipping me with the tools not just to navigate my transformation but to guide others through theirs.
