The Messy Middle Method™️
A practical approach for 50+, when something is changing, but you feel unsure how to move forward with clarity
7th September 12.00 PM (AEST) or 8th September 6.30 PM (AEST)
What is the Messy Middle?
The Messy Middle is that uncomfortable place between what has been and what is still emerging.
The work, roles, routines or expectations that once made sense may no longer fit in the same way, but you may not yet know what you want instead.
It can leave you feeling stuck, restless or quietly dissatisfied. You might be thinking, Surely there is more than this, while having absolutely no desire to blow up your whole life in pursuit of an answer.
This is not a problem to fix or rush through. It is a place to pause, pay attention and begin exploring.
The Messy Middle Method™️
The Messy Middle Method is a practical approach to understanding where you are, dreaming up possibilities, and moving forward with intention.
If you know something is changing but cannot yet see a neat path ahead, this workshop is for you.
After five years of coaching, conversations and community with women over 50, I’ve learned that change rarely arrives with a tidy plan. More often, we find ourselves in the in-between: the old ways no longer fit, but what comes next is still emerging.
In this free live workshop, I’ll share the Messy Middle Method: the framework that has grown from those five years of learning about what genuinely helps women move through this season with more clarity, confidence and possibility.
This workshop is for you if…
You are 50+ and know that something in your life or work is changing.
The old way of doing things doesn’t feel right, but you are not sure what you want instead.
You want a more thoughtful approach than “just follow your passion” or “be more confident.”
You are ready to make space for possibility, even if you do not yet know what that is.
In this free workshop, you’ll:
Understand the Messy Middle and why it can feel both uncomfortable and full of possibility.
Meet the Messy Middle Method™️: a practical way to move forward with more intention.
Discover why small experiments can be more useful than waiting for certainty.
Bring a cuppa, a notebook and your curiosity. This is a relaxed, presenter-led session: join the chat, ask a question, or simply listen and take what you need.
You’ll also get a taste of Flourishing in the Messy Middle, my three-month live online group journey starting 22 September. If it feels like the right next step, I’ll share how you can join a small circle of women exploring what comes next.

About the Flourishing in the Messy Middle program
Flourishing in the Messy Middle is a three-month live online group journey for women over 50 who know something is changing and are ready to explore and connect as they find their way forward.
Beginning 22 September 2026, you will work with the Messy Middle Method™️ in a small, supportive group — with guided conversations, thoughtful activities, a Possibility Planning Journal and space to explore what your next chapter might hold.
You don’t need to arrive with a polished plan. You will be invited to reflect, notice, imagine, experiment and take meaningful steps in the company of women who understand that this season can be both messy and full of possibility. The program includes six weekly live sessions plus a follow-up gathering on 8 December.
