She's also wearing black high heels. On the counter, there is a vase with sunflowers and other flowers, a wine glass, and a decorative plant.

Rediscover & Reinvent Yourself.

As I am navigating my mid-forties, I don’t think I’m alone in wondering if there will ever be time to do what I love and to follow my calling. In fact, have found that many of my friends, colleagues and like-minded women my age have been feeling the same void in their lives. We love our families. We love our jobs.

But we can’t help but wonder…is there something more?

I hope you will join me in this adventure, follow along, and share with me the types of articles, posts and information that you are interested in too. Whether you are struggling with weight loss in your forties, or see the signs of aging and have thought about botox, lash extensions, or just are looking for some guidance, I want to share my expertise and personal experiences to help you become an even better more confident version of yourself!
