I’m a midlife woman who has gained and lost over 1000 pounds in my lifetime, survived the chaos of perimenopause, walked through loss and reinvention, and somehow found my way back to myself.

Back in 2009, I had gastric bypass surgery and lost over 200 pounds. I kept it off for years… until my 40s hit like a freight train. Hormones shifted, life changed, and almost 100 pounds crept back on. I felt defeated, embarrassed, and so painfully seen by people who watched the numbers climb again.

But I also refused to stay down.

​Working through midlife nutrition, movement that actually suits a changing body, and daily habits that supported my hormones, I lost the weight again… this time with compassion instead of punishment. And I started sharing my ups and downs online—never from a place of perfection, but from the trenches. ​The messages I received from women who felt “just like me” changed everything.

Somewhere in the chaos of becoming healthier, I rediscovered something I thought I’d lost… my love of writing.

Writing dark, twisty murder mysteries has always been my escape—my way of slipping into another world when my own felt heavy. Publishing The Pallbearer was one of the proudest moments of my life, and my visions is to grow this into a series.

And one day I realized… I don’t have to choose between being a wellness mentor and being an author.

I get to be both.

Today, I help midlife women feel lighter, more supported, and more alive—through honest conversation, simple habits, supportive products, and the power of a good story. Whether I’m sharing my latest writing progress, my favourite low-glycemic recipe, or the supplements helping me feel human again, everything I do comes back to one thing:

Women deserve to feel good in their bodies and have something fun to look forward to.

If you’re here for support, escape, mystery, laughter, inspiration, wellness, or just a sense of “finally, someone who gets it”… you’re in the right place.

Welcome to your next chapter. I’m so glad you’re here.
