The Ministry of Midlife

Working with women in business and in their personal lives, Sarah is passionate about building awareness of this challenging life stage which is more than the menopause.

There is an exodus of women in midlife (that’s defined as between 40 years and 60 years) exiting the workplace, thinking about exiting the workplace, struggling with their place in society, wondering what the beejesus is going on. Women who want to step up in their careers but feel ignored, invisible, lacking in support. High achieving women who have been achieving all their lives and suddenly this life stage causes tidal waves of emotion. Women who have been doing all the things and still want to do all the things, women who feel like there’s just not enough time to do everything there is left to do and mainly wonder where their energy has gone.

Research shows us that midlife women are struggline because of the collision of midlife changes; the life stage, health issues, menopause, managing overwhelm, juggling children, parents and illness – not to mention gendered ageism.

Instead of stepping up, women are stepping down, some escaping corporate life to pursue a different path and some of us spending a lot of time rocking in a corner. Some of us wanting to redefine our purpose because we might have a resurgence of our careers, have new careers, increase our independence (whilst still being the taxi, cook, and carrier of all the mental load) combined with our desire to do something different, something meaningful to us, something for us.

Ministry of Midlife is a platform developed to help midlife women build confidence, get clarity and define what they want to do next and how they want to show up and how they can find the energy to show up. 

Through coaching, membership and community, the Ministry of Midlife is designed to empower the individual exploring opportunities and how to develop through mindset, behaviours, belief systems and habits.
