Life has a way of surprising us. Just when we think we have everything figured out, we find ourselves standing at the edge of a new chapter, wondering what’s next. That’s exactly where I found myself a year ago. My kids were growing older, becoming more independent, and for the first time in years, I noticed I had more free time. The purpose that had defined so much of my life—helping them navigate their daily worlds—was shifting. Suddenly, I had space to consider how I wanted to use my time and energy in this next phase of life.

Why I Took a Break

Life wasn’t just handing me time on a silver platter—it was also throwing its challenges my way. I was back in school pursuing a degree in Psychology, navigating the complex emotions that came with my mom’s declining health, and still processing grief from the losses and disruptions of the pandemic years. It all started to feel like too much, and I realized I needed to follow my own coaching advice: let something go.

So, I made a tough choice—I decided to take a step back from the business side of Ignite Joy Life-Coaching. While I continued to coach and pour my heart into working with my clients (the part of the work I absolutely love), I set aside the marketing, day-to-day tasks, and constant busyness of running a business. It was a relief to create that space for myself, to focus on what mattered most in the moment. And in that space, I found clarity.

Finding Clarity Through Life’s Challenges

As I rested, reflected, and reconnected with what brings me joy, I noticed something incredible: the clients I was coaching were all in a similar “what’s next?” phase of life. These individuals and couples were navigating life transitions—empty nests, career shifts, planning for retirement—and they were doing so with a mix of curiosity, excitement, and sometimes uncertainty. Their journeys inspired me. They reminded me that midlife isn’t an ending—it’s a new beginning, filled with possibilities.

Their enthusiasm for embracing change made me rethink my coaching focus. I realized I was in the same place they were, ready to embrace my own next chapter with energy and excitement. It was clear that Ignite Joy Life-Coaching needed to evolve along with me. And so, a rebrand was born.

What Ignite Joy Life-Coaching Offers

Today, Ignite Joy Life-Coaching is all about helping adults in midlife rediscover clarity, purpose, and joy as they navigate their own life transitions. Whether you’re adjusting to an empty nest, exploring a career change, or simply seeking more fulfillment in your daily life, I’m here to guide and support you. Together, we’ll uncover what truly lights you up and create a future that excites and energizes you.

I’m passionate about this new direction because it’s so deeply personal. Midlife is a time when we can finally shift focus back to ourselves—not in a selfish way, but in a way that honors who we are and what we’ve learned. It’s a time to ask big questions: What do I want? What’s next for me? How can I create a life that brings me joy? These questions aren’t always easy, but the answers can transform your life.
