About Embrace the Middle
Embracing the Middle is an empowering approach to the second half of your life that invokes excitement rather than a mindset of "midlife crisis" or stagnation.
It teaches how to examine outdated beliefs and behaviors and gracefully accept what is, even if that means embracing your growing "mid" section. My programs are educational and experiential and are best suited for women in midlife (approximately 40-60) who are open to examining aspects of their lives through the midlife lens of wisdom, maturity, awareness, and emotional bandwidth.
