For The Woman Looking in the Mirror and Quietly Asking, “Who are You?”
When You Don’t Recognize Yourself Anymore
I feel unfamiliar
For most of my life, I looked in the mirror and recognized her.
I liked her. She felt like someone I knew.
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.
How I show up Here
I walk this road with you, not ahead of you
I’m a Certified Holistic Health & Menopause Coach, but this space isn’t about credentials or having all the answers. It’s about sharing what I’m learning, what I’m using, and what’s helping me as I navigate this season too.
Sometimes that looks like writing. Sometimes it looks like tools, trackers, or small practices that make things feel a little more manageable. It’s always grounded in lived experience, care, and curiosity, not perfection or pressure.
Take What You Need
Some days you want a plan. Other days, you just need someone to say, “Me too.” Most days, it’s both. This space is for midlife women who’ve outgrown old expectations, including the pressure to “bounce back” into a version of themselves that no longer fits.
If You’re Not Sure Where to Start…
If You’ve Ever Wished For a Place to Talk About all of This…
Midlife can feel oddly lonely , even when nothing is technically “wrong.”
You’re not the only one Googling symptoms at midnight, crying in dressing rooms, or quietly wondering if anyone else feels this strange mix of grief, confusion, relief, and what now?
I want to create a space where women can talk about midlife, menopause and the messy middle, the way we actually experience it; without pressure, filters, or pretending we’ve got it figured out.
Just real conversation, shared understanding, and the comfort of knowing you’re not the only one.
If that sounds like something you’d want to be part of, I’d love to know. 💛

Midlife feels less messy when we talk about it.
I regularly write on Substack too if you want to keep reading along.
