Coaching for Transitions: Midlife and Beyond
You’re not starting over — you’re becoming who you were meant to be.
I work with Gen Xers and Baby Boomers navigating life transitions — questioning meaning, changing relationships or jobs, shifting identity, and retiring— who want clarity about what comes next and how to move toward it with intention.
Welcome!
“Turn and face the strange...ch-ch-changes...”
It’s been quite a ride—with a great soundtrack!—and what a long, strange trip it’s been! Maybe we thought that by this time, we’d “have it all figured out,” be “on cruise control,” be ”set”. But that’s not life.
Being alive means we’re still figuring it out, still stepping on the gas and managing detours, still looking for adventures. In short, we’re still dealing with change.
What changes are you going through?
You may be here because:
You’re retiring and unsure what post-work life will look like
Your relationship to parenting is changing — new boundaries with adult children, stepping into grand-parenting
A long-term relationship has ended or shifted
Physical changes are asking you to relate to your body differently
Or nothing “external” has changed — but you have
Perhaps what once gave your life meaning no longer does.
Perhaps familiar ways of coping or succeeding aren’t working anymore.
Perhaps you know change is needed — but feel stuck in the in-between.
Why is change often so hard?
Change can be difficult because it means leaving behind what’s known to step into the unknown. And that unknown touches the core of who we are, our identity. When you are no longer defined primarily as a parent, professional, partner, or athlete — but don’t yet have a clear sense of who you’re becoming — you may feel unmoored, adrift, or unmotivated.
This in-between place can be uncomfortable. But it can also be deeply creative.
So, you may not be who you used to be, but you can discover insights about who you are that can inform your journey to who you are becoming. And coaching can help.
How can coaching help?
You may be wondering, “With all my life experience, What advice can a coach give me? None.
Coaching isn’t about advice. The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as a “thought-provoking and creative partnership” that helps you clarify what matters now and take steps toward meaningful change.
It’s forward-focused, reflective, short-term, and practical. It’s not therapy, consulting, or mentoring — and it doesn’t dwell endlessly in the past.
As Rumi said, “It’s your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.” True. But as your coach, I’d be honored to walk it with you for a bit! I invite you to explore whether coaching with me feels like a good fit.
