If you are an entrepreneur/self-employed, what motivated you to start your own business?
Menopause made me start my own business! When I started the transition through menopause, I couldn’t find support or resources. I was shocked by how taboo even the discussion around it was. So, I made it my mission to start the dialogue and help women thrive in mid life.
What does success mean to you?
Success to me is living a life I love and creating my own path in the world, being independent and wildly curious along the way.

If you could teach the world one five-minute lesson, what would it be?
If I could teach one five-minute lesson, it would be on breathing. The breath can quiet the mind and reconnect us to our bodies. It can calm us or energize us. It can give us that pause before we react. It is a tool that is always readily available. Yes, a lesson in breathing for everyone!
What does women's empowerment look like to you in action?
Women’s empowerment is about lifting up other women. Standing together, being a voice for each other or being behind the scene support
What would you tell 19-year-old YOU?
I would say, “Be still and listen to that little voice deep inside. Don’t be afraid to find your own path and let your light shine. It’s okay to take the path less chosen.”
What will 86-year-old you want you to know TODAY?
My 86-year-old self would want me to know that I am doing good work and that it is impacting women in ways I don’t even know.
