What gets me out of bed every day? Bringing midlife women the truth on how to lose weight, get rid of their midlife symptoms and or support their reinvention. There are a lot of half truths, bad science and misinterpretation of good science being sold and told daily. We cannot get the results we want and need at this time of life using theories that don't work now can we?
I'm proof that what I've discovered works in all areas of life and I love teaching others so they can go back to enjoying their lives. The second half is not a fat, frump, or frail sentence. Don't let the world--or your doctors--tell you otherwise!
After 20-something years of work as a food professional--chef, consultant, executive chef, caterer, private chef, and cooking for hugely successful and often "famous" folks I was being tugged by the "other" side of me.
My young self longed to be a doctor or therapist and my early studies were in psychology. And I'd always been interested in nutrition, helping people feel better, get and stay better and really enjoy life. Feeling the need to connect with people through some portal rather than their tummies I searched for a way to finish a degree program in Psychology but geography was against me. Not to mention that it just didn't feel like a fit.
I was introduced to coaching and I felt like I was home.
Now, 7 years after getting certified as a life coach by Coach Training Alliance, an ICF accredited program, and coaching hundreds of midlifers like myself I realize that the chef, the food, and wellness side must marry the coach.
My community and business are both called Midlife With A Vengeance, All a woman needs to stay or get fit, healthy, sassy and sane." I also work more specifically on weight loss over at Easy Midlife Weight Loss.
There are plenty of ways to get to know me at either site and i'd love to have you join our conversations and let me how I can help you.

The Bright Side Of The Midlife Muffin Top
Dern, I wish I'd invented that term "muffin top." Alas some other smart woman got there first--kudos and thanks for the hysterical yet accurate descriptor. Just in case the subject of this article is not perfectly clear let me say it to you plain. A muffin top, outside of Dunkin' Donuts, can be ...

Everything Is Food
Science tells us that the stomach has a brain and the heart has a brain. What this means is that these two vitally important organs will react to something when it enters our systems and send a message to other parts of the body independent of the "real" brain, the one on top, the one we think ...

Give Yourself A Gift
Who among us has not welled up while watching the weight loss sheroes and heroes tell their stories on Oprah or the Biggest Loser? Okay, you in the back row there with the “Oh please” smirk on your face, go out and have a cigarette. How about those “I left that son-of-a-bitch with nothing but a ...

Life is short, even in its longest days
This is a quote from John Mellencamp and it got stuck in my head while listening to NPR one day, on a Terry Gross/ Fresh Air interview. That day, life was good, the sun was shining and I was gathering provisions to cook a typical Hampton’s meal for a client. Typical means fresh, local caught fish, farm stand produce, and most likely fire from a grill. "Summer is short", I thought, all too short here on the east coast. Note to self: take advantage of it, it’s all too soo October.

Creating The Future
We plan, God laughs. So someone told me years ago. The longer it lingers the more I agree. Regardless of your take on the idea of God, I think you get the point. You’ve been there right? You are heading down a carefully-planned out path, people are doing what they are supposed to. Life is good. You feel in control. Then something happens. Someone dies, someone lies, or the pink slip gets handed to you this time. The new plan? Survive, put the pieces back together, think about what it all means, and try not to panic.
