My life cracked open in my early 40s after two ER visits that felt way too close to the edge. Stress finally caught up with me, and I had to choose between the life I was living and the one I actually wanted.
I hit reset at 41.
CrossFit, strength work, endurance training, nutrition, rebuilding my health from the inside out — not as a project, but as a way of staying alive and staying myself. That reset changed everything. My body shifted. My priorities shifted. My identity shifted.
Since then, I’ve spent more than a decade coaching, learning, experimenting, and documenting what it means to build a life with intention in the second half. I left the corporate world at 50 because the work I cared about — helping people in midlife rebuild their strength, habits, and sense of purpose — needed all of me, not whatever was left over.
This site is where the whole project lives.
Not just the coaching. Not just the training.
It’s my ideas, experiments, frameworks, stories, and the things I’m still figuring out. It’s the creative home behind Swells of Change, where the deeper coaching work happens.
If you’re somewhere in your own reset — frustrated, rebuilding, curious, or simply ready for life to feel different — you’re in good company.
Take what helps.
Leave what doesn’t.
And keep going.
