Women’s Midlife Metabolic Health Coach
One of my greatest privileges is caring for women who have reached midlife and who are feeling dismissed, confused, exhausted, and quietly wondering, “Is this just how it’s gonna be from now on?” I get to tell them, with all clarity and conviction in my voice: No. It doesn’t have to be this way.
I’ve been there and can tell you, you will find your footing again. On the other side, you will meet yourself again. You’ve always been there, but you’ll stand taller. Your mind will be clearer. Your confidence, restored. Priorities, sharp. You are strong. You are wise. You know what matters. And you’ll live the life you love because you built it with intention, with knowledge, and with power.

In an era dominated by digital technology, it can feel like handwriting is a lost art. However, a growing body of research suggests that the act of writing by hand has significant cognitive benefits.
Handwriting can have a range of advantages for the brain, including a calming effect, coordination of the left and right brain, boosting cognitive skills, inspiring creativity, sharpening aging minds, and improving memory. It also involves more of the brain than typing does.
While digital devices offer numerous benefits, over-reliance can lead to cognitive offloading. This is when we rely on external tools, such as smartphones or computers, to remember information for us, potentially impacting our memory and motor skills. Therefore it’s important to strike a balance between the convenience of digital tools and the cognitive benefits of handwriting. The key is to incorporate handwriting into our daily routines, whether it’s jotting down notes, simply doodling on a notepad, or using MIDIMANUAL workshops.

Further, MIDIMANUAL will empower women in how to advocate for themselves with their doctors and seek the tests and support they need to feel their best.
