Here are a few things about me:
WRITER
I’ve written personal essays, fiction, poetry, business copy, technical content, blogs, marketing copy—you name it.
I started my career as a magazine writer and editor, beginning at ELLE, then rode the waves of changing media into digital storytelling, content strategy, and brand work.
These days, I write fiction and personal essays. My debut novel, An Ideal Marriage, is a romantic comedy about a woman who marries for the first time at 48 and gets the surprise of her life. The manuscript is complete, and I’m currently seeking representation.
GUIDE FOR MIDLIFE RE-INVENTIONS
These days, I think of myself less as a traditional coach and more as a trail guide.
The kind who takes people into new frontiers, explores hidden paths, points out wildflowers, introduces fresh ideas, helps dislodge old beliefs, until the world comes alive in new and unusual ways.
I’ve coached across a variety of niches over the years, but today I work with women in midlife and beyond who are ready to create what’s next.
EVERYDAY ATHLETE
Swimmer, runner, walker, skier, former triathlete.
My relationship with movement is less discipline, more love—and very much about community.
I understand the need to get the ya-yas out and socialize while you play.
I believe being in motion is one of the most natural human states.
LATE BLOOMER
I married for the first time at 49.
In one fell swoop, I acquired a husband, grown stepchildren, grandkids, siblings-in-law—the works.
My grandmother name is T-Sizzle.
My stepdaughter married an Australian; my mother’s Australian.
Life has a sense of humor.
