Next Chapter Studio

Are you starting over after 40?
Feeling lost or that you've failed?

I help women 40+ rebuild confidence, find purpose, and move forward after major life changes like layoffs, divorce, or feeling stuck in midlife.

Life didn’t go as planned. Maybe you’ve lost a job, ended a relationship, or just feel like the life you were building isn’t yours anymore. It’s overwhelming — and it’s lonely. But here’s the truth: starting over at 40 or 50 isn’t the end. It’s an invitation. A chance to create a chapter that finally 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 it feels. My role as a certified life coach is to guide you through the fog, help you rediscover your confidence, and take small, powerful steps toward a future you’ll be proud of.

It's just as easy to pursue your dreams as it is to punch a clock:
BOTH require sacrifice

What's keeping you stuck?

    • Loss of Confidence – “I used to be competent. Now I second-guess everything.”

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

    • Belief That It’s Too Late – “I missed my chance.” OR “Everyone else is ahead — I can’t catch up.”

    • Feeling Overwhelmed by the Unknown – “Where would I even begin?” 

    • Fear of Making Another Mistake – “What if I fail — again — and look foolish?”

    • Grief Over the Old Life or Identity – “That chapter wasn’t perfect, but it was familiar.”

    • Decision Paralysis – “There are too many options, and I don’t trust myself to pick the right one.”

    • Ageism in the Workplace or Culture – “No one hires people my age.” OR “I feel invisible in a world obsessed with youth.”

    • Financial Pressure – “I can’t afford to make a mistake.”

    • Lack of Support – “My friends and family don’t get what I’m going through.”

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

    • Time Constraints or Caregiving – “I’m caring for aging parents, kids, or both.” OR “When would I even have time?”

When life throws you a curveball — a layoff, a divorce, or simply the quiet realization that your life doesn’t feel like yours anymore — 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 at 40 or 50 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 life coach helping women just like you navigate transitions with confidence.
 
After divorce, multiple layoffs and repeating the same predictable routines producing the same mundane results, in mid-life I finally discovered my true passion: empowering women to rewrite their stories. With a blend of practical strategies, 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.
