Today is February 17, 2025. Not even a month into the new U.S. administration and chaos ensues.
Each new day brings a different headline proving that we are in the midst of sweeping change, of a world we've known for decades (even centuries) crumbling away as the patriarchy grasps at straws to hold on to an old paradigm.
Whether they like it or not--in fact, whether we like it or not--we are shifting into a new paradigm, and it's led by the feminine.
It's time for the rise of matriarchy, and midlife women are at the helm.
BUT, in order for this new world to take shape as we know is possible...
In order for more balance to weave its way into our everyday reality, midlife women--YOU--must believe in your ability to lead us through this shift.
Midlife women are uniquely positioned--not because you have it all figured out.
Not because you've done things perfectly...but because you lived.
You carry within you centuries of the divine feminine, and she is primed to rise in this world of need.
The thing is, those centuries of abuse, of having our voices silenced, of our sacrificed lives for speaking our truth have all given us "evidence" that bolsters some very real fears.
These fears are deep--primal, instinctual.
They're the fears that move us through the woods when witch hunters are at our backs.
They're the fears that keep us "safe."
But what if you started looking at those fears as just one of the programs running in your brain's software system, and that these particular programs are outdated?
They are no longer serving the function they once did, but instead, are holding us back.
And what if midlife--right now, you, in your 30's-50's--NOW is the time to break free from it?
Fear Gates: Ancient Programming Keeping You Small
The Spleen Center in Human Design houses fears--it's where our survival instincts live.
When they're working as they were designed, they are keeping us safe from physical danger (like the gazelle who runs from the saber toothed tiger before she logically knows it's there).
But we aren't running from the saber tooth anymore, so those fears instead keep us playing small.
They keep us putting others first (along with estrogen) when the world needs our leadership.
They make you believe that investing in yourself (time, money, or both) is selfish when it's actually the most radical, necessary thing you can do right now.
Your fears are real--you feel them in your body.
But they are not the truth.
They are never the highest expression of your energy.
The truth is that the world needs you to put yourself first.
It needs you to be on your highest timeline.
You are the healers, the guides, the women who will make a difference.
Listen to the Midlife by Design pod for a breakdown of each of the Spleen Gates and its fears. I share with you what the fear is and what to do about it.

The Cost of Letting Fear Win
If you keep waiting to take action on your dreams, to start doing what you want, to start saying what you want to say—if you let fear make your choices—here’s what happens:
🔥 Your dreams stay just that: dreams. That book, that business, that next chapter? It stays locked in the realm of someday.
🔥 You shrink into a supporting character in your own life while those around you take center stage.
🔥 You stay stuck in old cycles of burnout, self-sacrifice, and waiting for permission.
🔥 You never find out what’s possible when you finally choose yourself.
🔥And the worst thing? The world never gets the magic only YOU can bring.
We are moving out of Tribal Energy and into Individual Energy, and the world NEEDS role models. It needs to see what it looks like to follow your inner Authority. To make decisions based on what you know is true for you DESPITE how it looks or feels to others.
We are at a Crossroads. Which Timeline Will You Choose?
I've seen every prediction for the future from WWIII to blowing up our planet to a world that actually lives in peace and harmony.
The truth?
EVERY possibility exists from this point on.
At any one point in time, the future is unwritten and can be any one of an infinite number of possibilities.
Knowing that, what if YOUR sovereignty--you deciding to simply BE YOU--was the one thing that tipped the balance?
What if you stepping outside of your fears, shedding the shoulds of the world and being the woman you want to be in this phase of life...
What if THAT is exactly what's needed right now?
Because it is.
We created Wild Women by Design to usher you into this next chapter.
It's not just a retreat, it's a space for transformation.
It’s where you step outside the noise, the expectations, and the fear-based conditioning and reconnect with your true self.
It’s where you move past the survival instincts that have kept you small and into the energy of expansion, embodiment, and sovereignty.
It’s where you remember what’s possible—and actually claim it.
Sometimes you have to remove yourself from the chaos of "real life" and retreat to get in touch with what's REAL.
The question to ask yourself isn't whether or not you should go...
whether you should spend the money, take the time off from work, be away from your family...
It’s about whether you can afford not to.
If your body is saying yes, if your soul is lighting up at the idea, then trust it.
The world is shifting. It’s time for you to shift, too.
This Is Your Time. Own It.
I invite you to take a deep breath.
The world outside may be in chaos, but when you connect with your breath, you realize that any reality is possible.
If you're still reading, there is truth here for you.
You know that you are part of the change this world needs.
You feel the urgency and you know in your soul that waiting is no longer an option.
Acknowledge your fears.
They are there to keep you safe, but understand where they are holding you back.
Feel the fear and take the step anyway.
Regard fear as an old friend, and listen to its concerns while taking the step that is right for you as dictated by your Authority.
The world is waiting for you to rise. Will you answer the call?
