Coaching for women and men over 40.
Move fromSurviving to Thriving!
Life after divorce, being displaced after a major home fire and the 9-month rebuild after, caring for and managing a parent struggling with Dementia & Alzheimer’s, overcoming an abusive childhood and happily reinventing life after retiring from a thriving global executive career, are all major life challenges I’ve tackled and overcome. These are the primary reasons I became a Certified Life Coach. One of my passions is helping others successfully navigate any of the above so you can find your smile and thrive once again!
If you feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed, don’t recognize your life and can’t move forward, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I help my clients find clarity, remove false beliefs, regain their focus, and set new goals with confidence. Mapping out how to do this will have you thriving again soon!
Who am I now?
It’s a question all of us ask ourselves after a major life transition or transformation.
When the roles that defined you, the spouse, the parent, the caregiver, the provider, the one everyone leaned on, begin to loosen their grip, it is precisely why you feel unsure of who you are now and blazing a new path forward. This is a normal response to a huge life transition. This next step is the beginning of a new chapter and why a coach can help you get there faster with clarity and confidence.
Is this you right now?
Meeting you where you are today.
Post-Divorce
Learning to sleep alone, and slowly rebuilding who you are when the shared future is gone.
Retirement
The house is quiet, the role you held for years is over, and you are quietly asking who you are now.
Loss
Some losses never get a funeral. Finding your footing again after grief that others cannot always see.
Reinvention
That inner call to become someone new is not a crisis. It is a waking up.
Hi, I'm Sue
I have been through it, and I came out stronger.
Being blindsided by the unexpected, losing confidence, feeling like I had to start over. I have experienced all of those challenges, made it through, and come out stronger each time. Taking the first step forward is always the hardest, and it is also the best step you can take.
My coaching style is open, friendly, and non-judgmental. It is focused on YOU, based on who you are today, and not on anyone else’s opinion of who you should be or what you should do next.
Three ways to begin

You provided supportive conversation, thoughtful guidance, and encouragement during uncertain moments. Your time, insight, and belief meant more to me than I can adequately put into words. This year stretched me, strengthened me, and reminded me how powerful community truly is.
Shirrell M.
You pulled me in and gave me the confidence to join in the fun. We tend to forget the details of past events, but we never forget how others made us feel. I have always held you in the highest regard because of this.

The first step is always the hardest.
No magic transformation, and no pressure. Just clarity, and one real next step, together.
