Edit Your Life. Reclaim Your Wild

The art of becoming in the messy middle
Self Betrayal Quiz 21 Day Wild Remembering

For midlife women who’ve outgrown their old stories.

You’ve done the healing, burned the sage, and are still asking, “Now what?”

You’re a woman who has been on a hugely transformational journey – maybe an uncomfortable one – and this feels like the time to stop, breathe, and realign. This is your sign.

You don’t have to burn it all down to begin again – though you may want to. All you have to do is remember who you really are and create something that really matters.

I’m here to create a space for midlife women navigating the messy middle. Whether you’re facing a midlife crisis, craving a midlife reset, or ready to rebel against self-betrayal (in it’s many forms – see the quiz) and step into your becoming, you’re in the right place.

I’m Dale, an author, writer and midlife coach (a messy middle mentor) helping women rewrite their stories, reclaim their power, and reinvent their lives with clarity, creativity, and courage.

This is your second act, let’s make it rock.

Get The Book - Words From The Wild

Words from the wild cover

This book is for women who have been betrayed and have betrayed themselves. For those tired of saying yes when they mean no, of trying to prove their worth, and of pretending everything is fine while their bodies scream to be heard.

I wrote this to remind you (and me) that you were born with everything you need to live this very odd human life and that the things you’ve been trying to ‘fix’ or change about yourself might be the alchemy you and the world need.

This all came about whilst I was still in the messy middle of becoming and choosing myself daily over the safer option of remaining isolated and staying hidden. I offer these words not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has decided that figuring it out was never the point. The point was always to come home to ourselves. This is my invitation for you to do the same.

Through fourteen vulnerable chapters, I trace the journey from betrayal to belonging to yourself. From learning that bitterness isn’t a fault in my character but a guidance system pointing toward necessary boundaries. Awakening to the truth that empty spaces aren’t empty but pregnant with possibility. And understanding that your body’s rebellion isn’t an inconvenience – it’s your wisest teacher demanding you listen.

This 21-day practice is your invitation to remember what your bones already know—that you are not separate from nature but a part of it, that your energy naturally ebbs and flows like the tides, that your creativity has seasons just like the earth, and that your well-being depends not on fighting your natural rhythms but on dancing with them.
