Your Next Chapter

Starts Here

You’ve checked all the boxes.

You’ve done the things you were “supposed” to do to be happy and you still find yourself asking, “Is this as good as it gets?”

You may be going through one of the many common life transitions like divorce, caring for children and/or aging parents, changing jobs, or even adjusting to an empty nest. These normal life stages can leave you feeling like life is passing you by.

Toss in the fact you have put your own dreams and desires on the back burner for years, you wake up one day wondering who the hell is staring back at you in the mirror.

Hi. I’m Karen.

I empower women over 40 to courageously ask, "What’s next?” whether they are boldly choosing divorce or navigating another midlife transition.

I’m passionate about helping women remember who they are. I help them learn to trust their intuition so they can design their lives in a way that feels vibrant and alive instead of flat and unfulfilling.


I empower women to give themselves permission to stop the people pleasing and ask themselves, “What do I want?”

If you're ready to stop settling and create a life you’re in love with…
you’re in the perfect place.
