Every day, you're headed somewhere and a mistake that many people make is in NOT asking: Am I headed in a direction I really want to go?

You don't have to feel lost or frustrated anymore and you don't have to navigate the path to change alone. In fact, you're not alone.

Each and every one of us has a vision of our very best self and our very best life and I believe there's a reason for that.

In doing this course, you narrow that gulf and feel the sense of pride and accomplishment of working toward your true happiness. The modules are designed to take you step-by-step through this program and I've included lots of fun bonuses and extras to help you. Your success is going to be greatly determined by your engagement and commitment to doing the work. But you're ready to fly, aren't you?

There needed to be a word for where I was, I thought. Menopause? Man-o-Pause? Mean-O-Pause. Maybe that would help me with that pesky problem I had with the hot new neighbor that just moved in... I'm in Mean-O-Pause.
