Next Chapter Studio

Are feelings of worthlessness or doubt overwhelming you? Feeling lost or that you've failed? Wake up each day empowered and excited! Not by passively letting your life go by hoping it will get better, but by Rediscovering Your Worth and Confidence from the Inside Out!

I empower women 40+ by guiding them to rebuild their confidence, silence their inner critic and find their identity, their voice. Devastating life changes - layoff, divorce, loss, feeling stuck or life crumbling around you in midlife, are not the end.

Life didn’t go as planned. Maybe you’ve lost a job, ended a relationship, lost a loved one, or just feel like the life you were building is falling down around you. It’s overwhelming — and it’s lonely. But starting over at 40, 50 or even 80 isn’t the end. It’s an invitation. A chance to create a chapter that deeply reflects who you are and what you want.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ve been where you are, and I know how heavy and overwhelming it feels. My role as a certified life coach is to guide you through the fog, help you rediscover your confidence, your worth: to take small, powerful steps toward a future you’ll be proud of, using cognitive behavioral techniques.

Embrace Your New Beginning with Confidence

Next Chapter Studio empowers women 40+ to navigate life changes and discover bold paths with hope and strength.

Guidance Through Major Transitions

  • Receive compassionate prompting from someone who understands the challenges of layoffs, loss and divorce. Who, through their own experiences, can guide you into creating new possibilities, on purpose.
  • Creating empowerment for lasting change.
  • Build resilience and confidence to embrace your next chapter fully, working through the heartbreak to create opportunities for growth.

Personalized Support and Tools

  • Cognitive behavioral techniques and emotional support designed specifically for women navigating new beginnings after 40.

  • Access to online courses.

  • Flexible coaching options – on your terms, in your own time.

What's keeping you from moving forward?

    • Loss of Confidence – “I’m a failure.” or “This keeps happening to me – I’m just no good at it anymore.”

    • Fear of Judgment or Embarrassment – “I should have figured this out by now.”

    • Belief That It’s Too Late – “I missed my chance.” or “I’m too old.” or “Everyone else is so much further ahead.”

    • Grief Over the Old Life or Identity – “I loved that life and I miss it.”

    • Tech or Skill Gaps – “I’m behind on new tools, platforms, or trends.” or “Learning feels intimidating.”

When life throws you a curveball — a layoff, a divorce, or feeling that everything you’ve been building is falling apart — it can shake your confidence to the core. You may wonder: Am I too old? Did I waste my time? What now?

You are not too late, and you are not alone. Starting over after 40 isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about taking everything you’ve learned and using it to build something stronger, braver, and aligned with who you are TODAY.

About Me

At 40+, you’ve lived, loved, and learned. Now, it’s time to harness that wisdom to create a life that lights you up. I’m Angela, a certified life coach with cognitive behavioral techniques certification, helping women just like you navigate transitions with confidence.
 
After divorce, empty nesting, multiple layoffs, and a deeply tragic loss, I felt adrift and useless.  After my last layoff and trying for over a year to find another “job”, it finally hit me:  Why do I keep repeating the same actions that ultimately lead to this same place, again and again?  So I decided to do some soul-searching, find out what my true calling was.  Instead of looking for another job, I had an epiphany – I would start my own business. But what could I do?  
 
In mid-life I finally discovered my true passion: empowering women to rewrite their stories, as I did. With a blend of practical strategies using cognitive behavioral techniques, mindset shifts, and heartfelt support, I help you uncover your strengths, set bold goals, and step into the life you want, love and brings you joy.
