Lifestyle • Wellness • Midlife Joy
Hi, I’m Cathy. Welcome!
From wellness to real life, I’m all about helping women feel good in their bodies, rediscover joy, and create a second chapter they truly love.
Because the best chapters aren’t behind us; they’re happening right now.
Recipes
Healthy-ish, homey, and made for real life; not perfection. Recipes and foods that bring joy to my kitchen.
Feel Your Best
Feeling your best isn’t about perfection; it’s about creating rhythms that support your body and your peace of mind.
Everyday Joy
Moments, memories, and all the little things. Travel adventures to cozy nights in; finding joy right where you are.
My Second Chapter Started with a Choice
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been chasing feeling good in my body; not perfection, but peace.
Years ago, I lost 100 pounds on Weight Watchers. Then life happened; lupus, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, stress, my parents passed away in the same year, family, everything. I gained 80 of those pounds back.
In 2018, I made a decision: I rejoined WW, committed to tracking every day, and lost those 80 pounds again. That consistency changed everything; not just my body, but my mindset.
In 2021, I shifted to macro tracking, and it gave me the flexibility and freedom I needed for this season of life. It taught me balance, how to nourish my body and still live fully.
But even after all that progress, something still felt off. My energy was low, sleep was rough, my digestion was a disaster, and my body didn’t feel like it was working with me anymore.
That’s when I discovered the missing piece, supporting my gut health and focusing on the inside-out transformation that I never realized I needed.
And that’s when everything clicked.
Today, I help women like me find energy, balance, and confidence again…because our next chapters aren’t behind us. They’re happening right now.
Your Next Chapter Starts Here
Once I started feeling better, I couldn’t help but share what was working for me.
At first, it was just with a few friends; women who, like me, were tired of feeling tired and ready for something that actually made a difference. I started hearing stories that sounded just like mine: better sleep, more energy, fewer cravings, and a newfound confidence that spilled into every part of life.
Then something even more amazing started happening. These women began paying it forward. They started sharing, connecting, and building something of their own. Many have found not only their health again, but a purpose and an income that gives them freedom and flexibility in this next chapter of life.
These aren’t quick fixes or overnight miracles. They’re real women creating real change. Proof that when you invest in yourself, you open the door for others to do the same.
“I didn’t even realize how bad I felt until I started feeling good again.” – Jenni
“My energy came back, my cravings are down, and I’m sleeping better than I have in years.” – Jessica
“I used to drag myself through the day. Now I actually look forward to waking up again.” – Alicia
“My mood, my digestion, my confidence — all improved when I started supporting my gut.” – Erin C.
These stories remind me daily that healing leads to hope and hope leads to purpose. It’s the ripple effect that happens when women feel their best and start believing in what’s possible again.
Whether your next step is simply feeling better, or building something that gives you freedom and fulfillment, it all begins with saying yes to yourself. If something inside you knows it’s time to start feeling better again; I’d love to walk beside you.
When I started sharing my story, I never expected it would grow into something that gave me freedom; not just in my health, but financially too.
What began as a desire to feel better turned into a way to create an extra stream of income from home and doing something I genuinely love, helping women who are ready to take back their energy and confidence.
I believe women in midlife deserve options. A way to contribute, to dream again, and to build something that feels purposeful and fits their life… not the other way around.
That’s what this community is about: linking arms, growing together, and creating freedom. One step, one story, one woman at a time.
You don’t need to know it all to begin… you just need to be open to what’s possible.
Let’s take that first step together.
If you’re ready to feel better in your body, boost your energy, or explore what’s possible in this next season of life. You’re in the right place.
I’ve put together a growing collection of simple, love-led tools to help you get started. Each one is designed to make your journey toward health and confidence feel doable, inspiring and not overwhelming.
