Opportunities to - safely - step out of comfort zones, take risks, and meet the challenges
of change
-
A chance to share and reflect with like-minded women, women who are ready to take
life to the next level

|
|
Even when change is expected and even welcome, it can include varying
degrees of fear - from stomach butterflies to complete paralysis. Yet meeting the
challenge of change can be simpler and easier than what many people anticipate. Finding
the brains, the courage, the heart to do what it takes is what's needed to get started.
Midlife Heroines helps - flip that switch - to gain access to those inner gifts and
personal power.

History Go

|
|
Jennifer Wright is a professional midlife adventure coach who stepped
out of her comfort zone and became her own heroine. Launched in 2004, Midlife
Heroines began when Jenn contacted Chris Rummer about partnering on an adventure coaching
project to help women in midlife. A year of conversation, brainstorming and planning
via phone and e-mail culminated in their first program, a midlife adventure in Akaroa,
New Zealand, with eight women from around the globe. In 2005 Chris decided, for personal
reasons, that she had to leave Midlife Heroines.
Now Jenn is continuing with the adventure on her own.
