For The Woman Looking in the Mirror and Quietly Asking, “Who are You?”
When You Don’t Recognize Yourself Anymore
I don’t feel broken. I feel… unfamiliar. For most of my life, I looked in the mirror and recognized her. I liked her.She was stylish, vibrant, confident. She felt like someone I knew. And now?
I still feel like me on the inside… but I don’t see her anymore. The body looks different. The clothes don’t fit. The curves aren’t where they used to be. The spark I used to feel, the one I knew others saw in me, it’s harder to find. And maybe the hardest part? I’m trying to love this version of me. I want to. But she feels like a stranger.
If you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror and thought, “Where did I go?” you’re not alone. This space is for women who aren’t looking for “10 tips to fix it.” You’re looking for someone who’s in it too. Welcome to the Empowered Nest. You don’t have to shrink to fit anything anymore, especially not someone else’s version of midlife.
Through my essays, I share stories of midlife, motherhood, loss, and rediscovery. The moments that shape us and the beauty that comes from becoming who we’re meant to be.

I’m Not Just in it With you, This is Also my Work
I walk this road with you, not ahead of you
I’m a Certified Holistic Health & Menopause Coach and a Naturopath. But more than that, I’m a woman in the thick of it, figuring it out in real time, just like you. What I share comes from lived experience and professional training. It’s grounded in care, not perfection. I’m not here to give you a protocol or a “fix.” And it’s never meant to replace medical advice. I’m here to help you understand your body better, trust yourself more and feel a little less alone while you do it.
Take What You Need
You don’t have to do it all
Some days you want a plan. Other days, you just need someone to say, “Me too.” Most days, it’s both. This is for midlife women who are done shrinking, done pretending and done trying to “bounce back” into a version of themselves that no longer fits. You’re not too late. You’re not too much. And you don’t have to do it all.
If You’re Not Sure Where to Start…
Start here, even if everything feels messy
Midlife is weird, beautiful and brutal. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just need a moment to breathe, this free guide is a small, honest starting point.
If You’re Ready to Feel Better, but Need Something Simple…
Midlife is messy let’s track it
The Empowered Midlife Tracker is a 30-day companion to help you check in with your body, mood and energy without the pressure to fix everything at once. It’s part symptom tracker, part self-care coach and all heart. Start small, show up for yourself and see what shifts.
Want More Real Talk, Reflection and Relief?
Midlife feels less messy when we talk about it.
If You’re Craving Real Support From Someone Who Gets it…
Sometimes you just need someone to walk beside you and remind you that you’re not asking for too much
Sometimes you don’t need another article or tracker, you just need a conversation. Coaching is where we talk through the hard stuff, the stuck stuff and the “is it just me?” stuff. It’s not about fixing everything. It’s about finding your way back to yourself with someone walking beside you. Coaching spots are opening soon. If this feels like something you need, stay close.
I’d be honored to walk through this with you💛
If You’ve Ever Wished For a Place to Talk About all of This…
I’m still figuring out what it looks like.
But maybe the thing we’re missing… is each other
You’re not the only one silently Googling symptoms, crying in the dressing room or wondering if anyone else feels like this.
I’ve been dreaming of creating a space where we can talk about midlife, menopause and everything in between without judgment, pressure or filters. It might be a private group. It might be something more. I’m still figuring that out. But if you’d want to be part of something real, I’d love to know💛
