“Unlock Your Best Life After 50”

Denise – How long have you been doing what you do, and how did you become a passion and purpose expert for women 50+?

To answer this question about me, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and a resulting “compelling story”, that brought me to where I am today – coaching women like you on exactly what to do to live life with passion and purpose. That defining moment in my life happened in 2016.

At that time, my days were filled with conversations with people all over the world, drawing on my coaching and enrollment skills. I was a key team member in what would become a multi-million-dollar business coaching start-up. I’ve always excelled at my work, whether it was as a top financial advisor, a successful retailer, or as a top performer in a networking marketing company.

I loved using the coaching skills that I’d developed, whether it was life’s school of hard knocks or my formal training. I could relate to any age or stage of life because I’d experienced so much. I could totally get the 20-something who was just trying to figure out their direction in life – because that’s where I was. My heart went out to women in their 30’s pulled to do something different after a divorce, bankruptcy, or career shift. My 30’s were spent married (and divorced) to a narcissist who told me, when I weighed 126 pounds, that I was fat and needed to get my nose fixed. A few short years later, he ran through my inheritance and tanked us into bankruptcy.

I decided “never again!” Fast forward, my 40’s were powerhouse time. I got remarried to my now, awesome, and forever husband and was named a Top Financial Advisor managing multi-millions in portfolios. And I started down the path of personal development, seeing that I had so much more to offer!

In my 50’s, I wiped out my debts, had my biggest income-producing year ever, helped this growing company hit a major financial milestone. But the micromanaging was starting to wear on me and the bureaucracy was growing. And I remember looking at this big check deposit, still hearing my boss’s accolades and thinking: “Is this it?”

All I kept saying to myself was: “Why don’t I feel happier? Am I just going through the motions of this job because I’m good at it? What do I really want to do? Here I am, a woman of God, a woman of deep faith, a woman committed to living her true purpose in joy. Who am I now at 55? What’s true about me? What’s the point of this? What do I want life to feel and look like?”

I made a decision right then and there that I was going to figure out this whole “purpose and passion thing” – and see this new path, working on my health, building additional wealth and really getting my value on a whole new level.

I hired a coach, took inventory of all the lessons I’d learned that brought me to where I was, and focused on me, my dreams, and what I wanted for my second half. As a strong, spiritual Christian woman, I took the time to get back to my center, to slow down and hear God’s word in my life and in my heart.

I reframed the context that had me in this job. I didn’t want to stay someplace just because I was grateful. Instead, I made it the perfect launchpad to living my dream. I decided not to follow my impulse to leave this day job. Talk about a turnaround! I made my intentions to become the best version of me in this life and help others to do the same.

I went on to have thousands more coaching and enrollment conversations with people, helping them break through inner blocks of self-worth, deservingness, and limitations to create the life and business they wanted. I went from feeling stifled to feeling free, in charge of my own life again, and never looked back.

Today, I teach other women how to live a life with passion and purpose. They learn the steps to uncover the truth about who they are and be the diamond they are so they can shine.

I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other strong, independent, accomplished women in their 50’s and 60’s breakthrough their inner blocks, reconnect with their dreams, let go of people-pleasing and caretaking (even if they are caretakers). They are clear on their value, know how to stay relevant at any age, and have the structures in place to be joyful and experience being the truth of who they are. You get to rekindle your flame and define your legacy.

I have created “Unlock Your Best Life After 50” – a series of six important inner and outer steps for every accomplished woman of faith who is determined not to settle for anything less than who she was made to be. It is for the woman who is ready to walk in her faith, her spirit, and her heart to trust and connect to her real self, have fun and honor her gifts and strengths. It is for the woman who has worked hard in a career, has enjoyed extraordinary success, and is no longer willing to go through the motions or be afraid to change the status quo. It is for the woman who believes or wants to deepen her belief, know her value, and not only want to have it all – but knows it is her destiny to have it all.

Who are your clients?

Women 50 plus looking to answer big life questions, thinking about retirement, what they want to do be doing, or how long they want to keep doing what they do. Women who want to have no regrets looking back and want to make new decisions and see how to do that.

I love to work with women who know they are not done yet! They are ready to uncover their true purpose or calling. My clients don’t live their lives for other people. Yet, they are at a time when they wonder: how long do I want to stay in this home? Am I having the conversations I need to have about my finances moving forward from a place of abundance or fear? What are the questions that will ensure I can live my legacy and leave my dynasty?

They are ready to give themselves a new level permission to live life at a whole new level – maybe busier, maybe quieter. Either way, they appreciate having a safe container to share with no judgment so they can arrive at their own certainty and answers. For these women of worth, there is no dream or calling left behind.

I work with people just like you who’ve pursued their goals and dreams and aren’t afraid to step into your source, your purpose, your truth. By all outside measures and appearances, you’ve got it all together. But you know you’re not done yet. You have more to offer. Maybe your job or title has been your identity and it’s scary to think about giving that up. Or your kids are gone or ready to go to college and you’re wondering what your new role is in life. You want and need to figure out your next steps now.

Professionals who wake up feeling empty or restless and don’t know why they are doing what they are doing anymore
Successful professionals who are not happy because they can no longer shine in their environment
High achievers who feel they are on the wrong playing field or suddenly playing the wrong game
Leaders who’ve done it all and climbed the ladder – only to discover it’s leaning against the wrong wall
Women who don’t understand why they are not fulfilled or satisfied – they thought they had the magic formula, they worked the plan and it doesn’t feel right – why am I angry, unmotivated; Why do I have so much conflict in my relationships (personal is harder than professional); Why don’t I have fulfilling relationships or is it time to let go of some old friendships?
Between the ages of 50 and 70

Something recent in your life, career or relationship has had you stop, maybe for the first time. It got your attention! You’ve rarely given yourself a second thought, you’ve been ok with not thinking about yourself and maybe didn’t even know you had needs because that just seemed like the rules in life – to put everyone else first.

What makes you different from other passion and purpose experts?

My personal philosophy: women have great potential to be fulfilled and be living their life with passion and purpose especially in their 50’s and beyond.

The problem is that many women don’t know what they want and feel lost, tired, and unfulfilled. The days feel like they are going through the motions, slightly unsatisfied and feeling guilty because they have good lives. They tell themselves they should be grateful for all they have.

But there’s something under that – maybe a dream they thought they should let go of, or something they tried before and dropped because it didn’t work out or the timing wasn’t right.

I guide them to uncover the truth about where they are right now and who they are becoming. The women I work with take their discoveries and shape their dreams into the diamond that’s been there all along, that knows it’s their time to shine. And they do this work in a nonjudgmental space or environment.

Through my proprietary process, they get certainty knowing who they are, to get to their promised land and stop wandering in the desert. The truth is that we all have blocks that need to get out of the way – and this exclusive process allows that to happen with ease, joy and fun.

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?

They are motivated to do this work now because something isn’t working in their life, career or business that doesn’t make sense. They want to reconnect to their dreams and stop sleepwalking on autopilot through their days in the midst of getting it all done.

They are tired of being on their own merry-go-round and want objective support from someone who is trained to listen and is living their own truth. I am living my own truth and I want that for everyone else – at a depth that is real.

They are interested in staying relevant, important and successful – on their own terms and having the freedom, the freedom to be ok just being themselves, freedom to know they are good enough and conquer what’s keeping them up at night.

They want to put new things in place quickly. You are committed to your success and ready to know and learn the steps to take back control and meet the exciting goals you set for yourself on your own terms once and for all.

For what type of professionals are your programs NOT going to work?

People who are more interested in looking good than being true to themselves.

Know-it-alls who believe they are superior, think they have all the answers, are always right or always have it together.

People who do not believe in a higher power, universe, God or something bigger than themselves.

People who are in crisis.

Please know I’m very selective in who I work with and gently choose to turn people away who aren’t ready. I value integrity and always coming from a place of service and sometimes that means saying no.

Allow Your New Awareness to Be Front and Center and Release What No
Longer Serves You

Sometimes it’s not who you’re with or the things you surround yourself with that bring joy. More hours, responsibilities, possessions often create more obligation or upkeep than happiness.

How can I contact some of your former clients to see what it’s like to work with you?

This is a a by- invitation-only six session series designed with you in mind. Your privacy is one of the most important promises I give you. You’ve been invited because we already know each other at some level and we’ve established that trust. Your experience of me and our work together may be completely different than others. I invite you to use this question to search your own heart, what you want and whether you feel drawn to do this work, with me, and without checking in with everyone or everything else. This work is for you.

How quickly can I expect results?

That depends on how committed you are to working through the course and really doing the exercises to make those inner shifts. Some clients are ready to go and step into a new experience of freedom for themselves in a relatively short time frame, sometimes even a few weeks! Others have a bit more work to do first.

How can I guarantee myself that I will be a woman of worth, know my self-worth, get my value more than before and take the ground that is mine?

Do all of your homework. Be totally committed to your success. Understand that this is a process, a proven one, that works if you take action and implement all of the steps.

And they report having more breakthroughs in less time than they would have on their own.

Will I recover the investment I put into this program?

Yes, a resounding Yes! Many clients are excited to report that the work we do together is priceless. I want you to stop reading for just one moment to ask yourself, “What is my living the purpose God has for me in this life worth to me, the peace of mind to be myself, to live the life I want to live instead of worrying about everyone else and putting myself dead last?” Chances are, knowing that this new level of absolute freedom and vitality is around the corner is worth more than you can imagine. The information and skills you learn in these six sessions will return 100 times the freedom and peace of mind today – and for the next 10 to 20 years plus of your life. What you get in my programs (and my coaching) is what I call a series of major breakthroughs! Your life, creating what you want, going after it, regardless of what anyone else has to say or think – this becomes the norm. You move toward what you want faster than you would on your own. You’ve been looking for this answer and haven’t found it, until now. That’s what you’re investing in, results, more freedom, more confidence and living life on your terms – not just more “information.”
