Many women reach midlife after years of supporting everyone else and realize they no longer recognize themselves. Roles shift, responsibilities change, and a quiet question begins to surface: When do I get to be part of my own life again?

For women who have spent decades being the steady one, the caregiver, or the supporter of a partner’s career, midlife often brings both space and uncertainty. It is not a crisis. It is a transition that asks for a different kind of support.

This is the moment many women feel called to reclaim their identity, energy, and sense of purpose, and finally put themselves back into the story.

I’ll never forget the weight of the folded flag in my hands.

It was my husband’s Navy retirement ceremony. He handed it to me, looked me in the eye, and said, “I love you, and now it’s your turn.”

In Midlife, Moments Like This Have A Way Of Waking Us Up

If you’ve ever been the strong one, the steady one who holds it all together through job changes, raising kids, or supporting a partner’s career, you know what those words can stir up.

For over two decades, I had been that strong one.
From the outside, it looked like I had it all together. 

Inside, I was running on empty, wondering when it might finally be my turn.

That moment cracked something open in me. 

And it started me on the path to writing a book I wish had existed years ago.

For the Woman Who’s Been Everything for Everyone Else

In the months that followed. I realized I was stepping into a new chapter with more space in my life… but no practice filling it with myself.

I searched for a book that spoke honestly about what midlife really feels like for women. Not just the physical changes, but the emotional ones. Not just “self-care tips,” but the deeper work of reclaiming who you are after years of being defined by your roles.

I couldn’t find it.

Then, at a writer’s retreat, I met Tracy, a total stranger who became my fuel. She looked me in the eye and said, “Please write the book.” 

Her words lit the fire that kept me going when writing felt lonely and hard.

I never wanted any woman to feel alone. 

The Book I Couldn’t Find, So I Wrote It

It’s Your Turn became the book I needed when I was trying to figure out how to rebuild my health, my identity, and my sense of purpose. It’s part memoir, part guide, and entirely rooted in truth-telling with tools from my C.A.L.M. Method to help you find clarity, awareness, and a way forward without guilt or feeling that you have to have everything perfect.

It’s the foundation of the work I now do with women who are ready to reclaim their energy, identity, and rhythms in midlife.

It’s for the woman who’s ready to:

• Stop putting herself last
• Let go of the roles that no longer fit
• Reclaim her health, her energy, and her sense of purpose

You matter, and you get to live like it, one step at a time.

For the Woman Who’s Always in Motion

I recorded the audiobook because I wanted you to feel like we were sitting together on the porch, talking honestly about what’s been hard, what’s been lost, and what’s still possible.

I know how full life feels in this season. You might not have time to sit down with a book, but you can listen while you walk, drive, cook, or just take a quiet moment for yourself.
