   SOUND FAMILIAR   

Maybe you've been asking yourself questions you didn't expect to be asking at this point in your life.


Maybe you know exactly what you want and maybe you have no fucking idea.

Either way, I think it's worth paying attention to.

Welcome to The Courageous Middle.

LEAD YOURSELF

Leading yourself starts with knowing yourself. Creating enough space to hear what's true for you now and trusting yourself enough to let what you hear matter.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFE

Choosing your life means participating in it instead of simply going through the motions. Deciding what stays, what changes, what you want more of, less of and what you want to try.

TIME MATTERS

Not because you're running out of it. Because this is your time too. You don't have to rush, but you don't have to keep waiting to participate in your own life.

  HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU  

There’s no one way through this part of life. You might want to explore alongside other women, work through something one-on-one, or give yourself space to figure out what you want next. Choose what feels right for you now.

  THE COURAGEOUS MIDDLE COMMUNITY  

Good conversations. Genuine connections. And figuring out what you want next.

For Gen X women who are feeling a little stuck, wondering what's next, or simply ready for something different. Come connect, get curious, try new things, and laugh with women who understand this stage of life.

 THE JOURNEY 

Every woman arrives here carrying something. 

A schedule that never lets up. A title that became the way people know her. The sense that she can't just walk away from what she's built. She doesn't have to walk away from any of it. She needs the space to hear herself again.

The journey moves through three stages.
The Nudge. The Courageous Middle. Living Your Possibilities.

At the centre of it all is the Courage Circle. Awareness. Curiosity. Choice.

It's how she moves through every stage. And through her life. This is the foundation of the work we do together. Simple but profound when put into practice with support.

   I NEEDED THIS   

I created The Courageous Middle because I needed it, and it didn't exist.

In my late 40s, I found myself asking questions I hadn't expected to be asking. About my career. My life. Who I was now. What I wanted next. I had people who loved me, and I still felt incredibly alone in it.

What followed became a decade-long journey of getting to know Lisa. Not becoming someone new, but getting to know who I was now, what mattered to me and what I wanted my life to feel like.

The Courageous Middle grew out of that journey.

I wanted women to have what I wished I'd had. A place to ask the questions, have the conversations, and realize they're not the only ones feeling this way. A place to explore what's possible for their lives now, with women who understand what they're going through
