Sept is Natl Suicide Prevention Month. I wrote abt losing my brilliant friend Hailey last wk to depression. Sometimes the most vital thing we can do is reach out to someone we havent talked to in a bit. A reminder to reach out to old friends: connection matters more than we realize.

Perhaps you're thinking about a nagging shoulder pain that isn't going away and all you're hearing is this thing called frozen shoulder? And now you're thinking "OMG - do I have THIS"?

Maybe you're wondering if the soreness you have is really pain that needs to be checked out?

"I feel like I’ve grown so much working with you and clarifying next steps for me internally. You really helped me get my confidence back in the workplace and navigate these sh*tty situations."

This is the transformation I want every woman over 40 to experience.

"Confidence. Clarity. Control."

That’s what The Midlife Edit is all about.

We need it EVERYWHERE in our financial lives.

✨ Questioning that "essential" subscription that auto-renewed
✨ Saying no to the upsell at checkout
✨ Negotiating your salary (yes, even at 40+!)
✨ Challenging fees that don't make sense

Living your best life for decades to come isn't...
