​
Midlife. The time of life when everything changes. Shifts and losses. Empty nest, expanding hips, love drifts away, careers disappoint.
​
YOU are in the middle. In the middle of the messiness and in the middle of your life.
​
But what if you saw this as all normal? Just life. What if it's time - your time - to stand up as one courageous woman who refuses to shrink back when the hard stuff happens?
One courageous and resilient woman who looks fear right in the eye and says, "Let's dance!"

This is me in my "Bounce Boots" just after my 66th birthday.
I try to do something that scares me a little (or a lot) as often as I can.
All of life is meant for living - right to the end
I cried all day on my 19th birthday because I didn't want to grow up. Our home was always filled with my aunts and my parent's friends but what I saw as I listened to their stories and saw how they carried all the heartaches of life made me cringe.
​
I thought I was destined to be bitter and angry and just plain sad for the rest of my life. Through my tears on that day, you know what I heard deep inside my heart? A voice. I think it was God.
​
When I said, "I don't want to have to be like them when I get older", he said, "Then don't be."
​
This peace flooded through me like the sun breaking through the storm clouds. I could choose to be or not to be any way I wanted as I walked this path I call life.
Life is a rough road...
Oh, the stories I could tell! And do tell in my Podcasts and in my blogs.
I've only made it this far by growing myself in 3 ways...Courage, Resilience and Grace.
​
I call this, "The Way of the Beautiful Warrior".
I train you how to embrace this side of you podcast by podcast. Blog by blog.
​
COURAGE is having a deep unstoppable belief in yourself. It's befriending fear (yes, you read that right) and learning to let it work for you instead of against you.
​
RESILIENCE is the ability to adapt to change, to persist despite setbacks, to exhibit toughness when times are tough, to manifest grit when things get gritty.
​
GRACE is the elegant, poised and dignified manner in which you manage life's challenges, adversities and uncertainties. It joins its hands in partnership with Courage and Resilience.
Result?
A life lived proudly. Courageously. Imperfectly. Unapologetically.
​
A life that ends without the regret of "I wish I'd tried harder. I wish I'd done more."
​
A life of purpose.
A life that is a legacy for those who follow.
