YOU'VE TRIED THE SENSIBLE THINGS
Why nothing has worked yet
A holiday, which helped for about three days. Pushing through, because it'll calm down after this project. Maybe a career quiz, or rewriting your CV, only to find every option looks either exhausting or terrifying.
That isn't because you lack courage, or because it's too late. It's because you're trying to design your next chapter on an empty tank.
-
From the outside, you're doing well. That's exactly why it's so hard to say out loud.
-
Sunday dread now starts on Saturday afternoon.
-
You're brilliant in meetings, then you sink into the sofa at 7pm with nothing left.
-
You say yes to everything, because you're the reliable one.
-
You've started googling "what else could I do?" late at night, but you haven't told anyone.
Valerie aka The Midlife Reinvention Coach
I KNOW THIS PLACE, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE
Meet Valerie
At 40, I had a career in London that looked like success: 15 years in corporate, working internationally, well paid and respected. I also had every sign of burnout. I saw them. I just refused to admit they were there, and I didn't ask for help.
In 2009, my body made the decision for me. Burnout turned into a deep depression, and I resigned abruptly, with no plan, convinced I'd never work again.
I don't regret where it led me, but it could have gone so much worse. Knowing what I know now, I would have started making changes earlier, and I would have asked for help.
I rebuilt slowly, starting with my health. I've now spent 15 years coaching women through change, and every reinvention since has been on purpose. Moving my family from the UK to Costa Rica took three years of planning. At 57, I'm still changing, and still reinventing.
That's why the Mentorship exists: so you can make your change on your own terms, before your body makes it for you.
Warmly, Valerie
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Introducing the Mentorship
Six months of private 1:1 coaching with me, for women who are ready to stop just coping and start planning a next chapter that fits who they are now. It blends the inner work, the fear, the guilt, the "I should be grateful", with practical tools: your calendar, your numbers, and the conversations you've been avoiding.
We're not just talking about change. We're making it happen, one step at a time.
-
Stop the Drain. We find exactly where your energy goes and deal with the biggest drains first, including at your current job.
-
Name the Want. In your Next Chapter Vision Session, we get clear on what you want now, not what you wanted at 30.
-
Map the Exit. We look at your real options, work out your numbers and runway, and test ideas in small, low-risk ways while you're still employed.
-
Build the Rhythm. We design a weekly rhythm that gives you room to recover and room for the change you're making.
-
Make the First Move. The conversation, the application, the launch or the notice. And I stay with you through the move itself, so you land well.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
Is the Mentorship
right for you?
An honest look before we talk. This works best when it's the right fit for both of us.
This is for you if
- You're in your 40s or 50s, in a corporate role or a career you've outgrown
- You're exhausted, and a holiday no longer fixes it
- You know something has to change, but not yet what
- You're quietly planning your exit, or wondering whether you should
- You want a real plan, not a leap in the dark
- You're ready to do the work between sessions, with support
It's not for you if
- You're looking for someone to tell you exactly what to do
- You want a quick fix in a few weeks
- You need help with your mental health right now. Please speak to your doctor or a mental health professional first.

QUESTIONS
Before you book
Do I have to leave my job?
No. Some women leave, some redesign their role, some start something on the side first. We work out what's right for you, and you make every decision.
I don't even know what I want. Is it too early to start?
That's exactly where most women start. We begin with your energy, because clarity is much easier to find once you're not running on empty.
Is it too late to change direction in my 40s or 50s?
I was 40 when I started over, and at 57 I'm still reinventing. Your experience is an asset, not a barrier. We'll look at what comes with you into your next chapter.
I'm already exhausted. How much time will this take?
One session a week to start, plus small actions between sessions. The first step is about getting time and energy back, not adding more to your plate.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go. If something comes up that needs a therapist, a doctor or a financial adviser, I'll encourage you to speak to one.
Where are you based, and how do sessions work?
I'm based in Costa Rica, and all sessions are online by video call. You book them at times that suit you, shown in your own time zone.
Is there a shorter option?
Yes. The Redefining Midlife Intensive is 3 months of private coaching, at $3,000 or 3 payments of $1,100. We can talk about which suits you best on your call.
What happens on the discovery call?
We spend 30 minutes on you: where you are, what it's costing you and where you'd like to be. If I think I can help, I'll tell you how we could work together. If not, I'll point you to what will. Either way, there's no pressure.
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY
Your next chapter
doesn't have to wait.
You don't have to keep pushing through until your body decides for you. You can start with one conversation.
