5 Tools for Midlife Women to Stay Grounded and Unrattled: If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a lot going on. You’re building something meaningful—but it’s not just one thing. You’re a coach, a creator, a mother, a learner. And some days, it feels like too much.
I’ve been there. I am there. And I’ve found a few ways to keep myself going—not perfectly, but gently.
It began with my body. After gallbladder removal 13 years ago and ongoing digestion issues, I trained as a gut health and nutrition coach. My son’s experience with leaky gut deepened my commitment. I didn’t want generic advice—I wanted real solutions. Real food. Real rituals. Real conversations.
But healing didn’t stop at the body. It opened something else.
The podcast with my daughter wasn’t just a creative outlet—it was a bridge. Between generations. Between perspectives. Between the quiet questions we were both asking. It gave voice to the messy, beautiful middle of life. Check it out DodwellDialogue
The supper club came next. An idea formed in the cold sea and is local experiment in joy. We wanted to create something tangible—something you could taste, touch, and feel. A place where women could gather, share stories, and eat fibre-rich food without performance or pressure.
Digital products followed naturally. I needed a way to share what was helping—batch cooking guides, journaling prompts, gut health rituals. Things I was already doing, already living. Packaging them wasn’t about perfection. It was about accessibility. About giving others a gentle starting point.
Eqology felt like the final thread. Ethical supplements, real testing, and a business model that aligned with my values. I didn’t plan to become a partner. I just couldn’t not share what was helping me feel better.
Each piece felt chaotic at times. But they’re not distractions. They’re connections. Threads in a bigger tapestry. I can’t do just one. They hold each other up.
These five tools help me stay grounded as a midlife woman navigating real-life transitions—especially while parenting teens. From emotional clarity to weekly planning, they support my nervous system, creative flow, and community leadership. If you’re building something meaningful in midlife and want to feel steady—not scattered—these are for you.
I’m an independent business partner with Eqology because I believe in their products. They support small fisheries, offer testing to see what your body actually needs, and don’t sit on shop shelves. I take them myself. I recommend them. And yes, I earn a commission when someone signs up through me.
I haven’t built a full team yet—other things took priority. But if you’re someone who cares about ethical wellness, wants to feel better, and is curious about adding a gentle income stream… I’d love to chat. No pressure. Just real support. Here is the link to my shopping page
If you’re feeling pulled in many directions, unsure whether to niche down or follow your layered passions—this is your permission slip. You don’t have to choose one thing. You just have to choose to begin.
And if this blog feels like a roadmap, a mirror, or a nudge—I’m so glad. I’m working it out daily, just like you.

For women parenting teens and sensing a shift…
There’s a quiet ache that many don’t name. A season approaching that feels both expansive and uncertain.
I’m crafting something for that space.
A gentle guide. A roadmap through the uncharted.
Not to fix, but to steady.
Not to rush, but to reframe.
It’s called Steadfast.
And it’s coming soon.
Sometimes it’s nice to put in text just to get an idea of how text will fill in a space on your website.
