Feeling Stuck in Midlife? Let’s Talk.
Midlife is often painted as a time to finally enjoy the life you’ve built—but no one warns you about the challenges that come with it. The shifting roles, the endless responsibilities, the feeling that everyone needs something from you… while you’re left wondering, What about me?
Here’s the truth: This stage of life isn’t just about juggling it all—it’s about learning how to take control, set boundaries, and step into your power with clarity and confidence.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here’s a quick exercise:
👉 Write down three things that drain your energy daily.
👉 Now, write down one small change you can make this week to lighten that load.
👉 Remember—change starts with small, intentional steps.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re ready to go from chaos to clarity, from just getting by to thriving, let’s talk.

Exciting News - A New Chapter for MonarchMind!
For a little over a year now, I’ve had the honor of guiding people through one of life’s hardest transitions—grieving the loss of a parent or navigating the journey of caring for a terminally ill loved one. That work will always be close to my heart.
But as I’ve walked alongside so many incredible women, I’ve realized something powerful—midlife itself has many crossroads. It’s a time of profound change, where roles shift, responsibilities pile up, and the life you built can suddenly feel overwhelming. You’re raising children, caring for aging parents, balancing a marriage, career, and your own evolving identity. And through it all, it’s easy to feel like you’re just getting by instead of truly thriving.
That’s why I’m expanding my focus. MonarchMind is evolving to help women in midlife find balance, strength, clarity, and growth during this incredibly transformative stage. I want to help you go from chaos to control, from instability to balance, from feeling stuck to stepping fully into your power.
This isn’t just about surviving midlife—it’s about owning it.
Drop a comment or DM me—I can’t wait to embark on this new journey with you. 💛 🦋

Have you or someone you know lost a parent?
Permission to Heal: Navigating Grief After Losing a Parent is a 45-minute live seminar designed to support those who have experienced the profound loss of a parent. Losing a parent is one of life’s most significant emotional challenges, and the journey through grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. In this session, we’ll explore a new approach to grieving, one that empowers you to process your emotions fully and find hope and healing beyond the pain.
Grief is not a one-size-fits-all experience. We will discuss why it’s important to give yourself permission to mourn and embrace the wide range of emotions that come with loss. I’ll guide you through practical steps to process these emotions and make sense of the thoughts that often arise when faced with such a monumental life change.
What sets this webinar apart is its focus on life after grief. Yes, the loss is life-changing, but healing is not just possible—it’s essential for moving forward. I’ll show you how you can find a path to healing that honors your unique experience while also leading you toward a life filled with meaning and purpose, even in the face of loss.
During the 30-minute presentation, we’ll explore:
How to navigate the initial shock and emotional turmoil after losing a parent.
Why giving yourself permission to grieve is the first step toward healing.
Strategies for processing complex feelings such as anger, guilt, or regret.
How to make space for joy and hope again, even as you carry the memory of your parent.
Practical steps to integrate grief into your life and start living fully again.
This isn’t just about surviving your loss; it’s about discovering that there is life after grief, and I will help you take the first steps toward healing.
The final 15 minutes will be dedicated to an open Q&A where you can ask questions and share your thoughts or experiences in a safe, supportive space. Whether you’re new to the grieving process or have been struggling for some time, this masterclass will offer you a fresh perspective, actionable tools, and the reassurance that healing is not only possible—it is within your reach.
Join me in this intimate and transformative session, and take that first courageous step towards healing your heart and reclaiming your life. If you would prefer to do this privately, I offer that as well, just contact me.

Are you feeling like you've lost a piece of yourself along with your loved one? It's a common struggle, but remember, you're not lost, you're just navigating uncharted territory. Instead of thinking, "I don't know who I am without them," try reframing it to, "I haven't been here before."

It's like stepping off a plane in a foreign country. Everything feels unfamiliar at first, but deep down, you still carry your core values and identity. 🌍💖 Just as you adapt to new surroundings abroad, you can adapt to this new chapter of life, holding onto the essence of who you are.

Embrace this journey of rediscovery. It's an opportunity to redefine yourself and honor your loved one's legacy by living authentically. Remember, you're never truly alone; your values are your compass guiding you forward.

If you're struggling with this transition, remember that support is available. Reach out to me for guidance and encouragement along the way. Together, we can navigate this journey of self-discovery with grace and resilience. 💪💖

🌟 Embracing the Bittersweet 🌟
Today holds a special duality for me—it's my son's birthday, a day of celebration, and yet, it also marks the anniversary of my mother's passing. Three years have passed since she left us, and navigating the waves of grief on this specific day is a journey many can relate to.
As I sit here, makeup-free, I've allowed myself to shed tears and revisit a myriad of emotions—joyful memories, the pain of witnessing her suffering. It's crucial to honor these feelings, to sit with them, and acknowledge their presence. Grief is indeed a journey, and today, I find myself in a place of acceptance.
I recognize that I can't turn back time; she won't return. Instead, I choose to embrace the beautiful memories, both happy and sorrowful. In this phase of my grief, I've learned to accept the past, to appreciate the positive impact she had on my life, and the invaluable lessons she imparted.
Why did she leave on my son's birthday? I've come to believe it's a reminder to be present, to love deeply, and to fully embrace existence. This is my perspective, and I understand that each of us has our unique journey.
If you're traversing the path of grief, know that I'm here for you. We all have our distinctive ways of coping and finding meaning.
Now, I am going to go put my makeup on, pick up my son from school and immerse myself in celebrating his life—the beautiful gift that continues to flourish. 🎉💖

Imagine your life as a journey where you're carrying a backpack filled with various experiences, emotions, and challenges. Oftentimes, we become so accustomed to the weight on our shoulders that we don't fully recognize the toll it's taking on us. It's like carrying this invisible load day in and day out.

Now, think about the possibility of unburdening yourself, of releasing the weight you've been carrying. It's in that moment of release that you truly understand the weight you've been carrying all along. It's a powerful realization, and it's only then that you can fully appreciate the freedom and lightness that comes with letting go.

As a life coach, my role is to guide you through this process of self-discovery and release. Together, we can explore what you're carrying, understand its impact, and work towards the transformative experience of letting go. It's in the release that you'll feel the true weight of what you've been carrying, and more importantly, the incredible sense of liberation that follows.
