I light up when talking about what's possible for women in midlife. Whether they're navigating a career change, divorce, empty nesting, or simply asking "What's next for me?", I love helping them reconnect with themselves, reclaim their confidence, and create a future that feels meaningful and true to who they are.
At age 60, after a successful career in learning and development, I was unexpectedly laid off. Like many women facing a major life transition, I found myself asking, "Now what?" What began as one of the most uncertain moments of my life became the catalyst for building a coaching business, earning new certifications, becoming a yoga teacher, and helping other women navigate their own next chapters. Through that experience, I learned that sometimes the disruption we fear most becomes the doorway to the life we're meant to create.
My "aha" moment came after being laid off at age 60. As I navigated my own reinvention, I realized that countless women were facing similar transitions and asking the same question: "What's next for me?" I founded Michele Garrett Coaching to help women move beyond uncertainty, rediscover their strengths, and create a next chapter filled with purpose, confidence, and possibility.
