Welcome! I’m Mary Helen, a daring adventurer, who would love to meet you. Whether as a speaker to your organization  or as your personal life coach sharing your journey through midlife, I would be happy to chat with you.

Each of my adventures have led me to meeting you today. My decades has been filled with careers of purpose; librarianship, sales and teaching. I have loved and divorced, I have loved again. I have witnessed two sons grow to become incredible young men who still give me hugs. I have felt the pain of losing parents. I have left jobs. I have jumped when there were no safety nets. I’d love to hear the story of your life.

Each page in the chapters of my decades has challenged me to grow and learn. I have used tools to strategize and create a life that has allowed me to know “I am not done yet!” Life’s STILL a daring adventure. I hope you’ll join me on my continuing journey, and that I can be an important part of yours.

Speaking of pages, I’m the author of the Itty Bitty Retirement Book: 15 Essential Tips for the Nearly and Newly Retired (2017). It became a Kindle #1 Best Seller as well.
