About Dale
Mentor for Women Ready To Share Their Story Midlife Manifesto (Coming soon)Reinventing Your Life 21 Day Challenge
Ignite Your Purpose, Rewrite Your Story
This isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about remembering who you are — beneath the noise, the roles, the rules — and daring to live, write, and lead from that place.
I’m Dale Darley, and I’m here for the wild-hearted women who whisper (or roar),
“F*ck it. I want more.”
More meaning.
More soul.
More truth.
More you.
Whether it’s through your words, your work, or the life you choose from this moment forward – this is about creating a legacy that reflects who you truly are.
Meet Dale Darley
My Story (The Real Version)
For years, I played the part — the titles, the roles, the curated image of success. But behind the scenes? I was exhausted, boxed in, and completely disconnected from what truly mattered.
Then life cracked me open. Again and again.
Illness. Loss. Reinvention after reinvention.
Each time, I was stripped back to the truth:
My purpose isn’t a job. It’s my essence.
Writing saved me. So did learning to trust my inner knowing, especially when logic had nothing left to offer.
Now, I live what I teach. I help women over 50 reclaim their voice, rewrite their story, and reinvent themselves from the inside out —
not just for healing, but to create something that lasts.
A book. A legacy. A life that finally feels like theirs.
What I Believe
I believe you are not broken — you are becoming.
Your story matters, especially the messy middle that so often gets overlooked. Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone better; it’s about coming home to who you truly are.
You don’t need permission from anyone else to change your life. The only permission that matters is the one you give yourself.
I believe your purpose isn’t something you have to chase or find “out there.” It already lives inside you, waiting to be remembered and expressed.
How I Serve Now
I no longer offer traditional coaching. Instead, I hold space through mentoring, self-led journeys, and powerful workshops that support you in reconnecting with your purpose and inner compass.
Everything I offer is designed to help you express what’s truly in your heart.
Through book mentoring, transformational courses, soulful ebooks, journaling journeys, full moon workshops, and sacred clarity sessions, I help you come back to yourself — on your terms and in your own time.
This is about more than finding your voice. It’s about using it to shape a life, and a legacy, that feels true to who you are.
Dale Darley
My life is living proof of the power of reinvention. Growing up with constant change due to my dad’s RAF career, I faced numerous challenges. These experiences shaped my resilience and compassion, leading to a path of self-discovery and healing. Living in the tranquil hills of Spain with my rescue dogs, I have found peace and purpose. My journey through many challenges, including illness and transformation, taught me the importance of self-love and the healing power of writing.
Who I’m Here For
You’re at a crossroads. You’ve ticked the boxes, played the parts, and maybe even lost yourself a little in the process.
And now… something in you is whispering:
“Is this it?”
“Who am I now?”
“What if I gave myself permission to want more?”
If that’s you—welcome home.
Where Intuition Meets Inner Knowing
I don’t just teach reinvention — I live it.
And I’ve learned that true transformation doesn’t come from pushing harder or following someone else’s blueprint.
It comes from listening in.
I blend deep wisdom with intuitive guidance, helping you align your growth with life’s natural rhythms — the moon, the seasons, your own sacred timing. When you honour these cycles, you don’t force change. You become it.
This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about deep remembering.
And a big part of that remembering is the power of your story.
Sharing your story is one of the most healing and liberating things you can do — not just for yourself, but for others. It creates connection, invites reflection, and becomes a light for those still finding their way. Your story is your truth, your wisdom, your legacy.
Together, we’ll work with both insight and instinct — bringing the practical and the mystical together. You’ll learn to trust your inner voice, tune into your body, and express what’s been living inside you all along.
This is soul-led growth.
It’s sustainable.
It’s sacred.
And it’s yours.
Embracing Your Journey
Owning Your Story. Reclaiming Your Power.
You are not your past. But your story? That’s where the gold is.
I believe true transformation begins when you stop hiding your scars and start honouring them. When you’re able to say, “Yes, this happened. And here I am — still rising.”
Owning your story isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about being present. It’s about facing where you’ve been — without shame — and choosing to use it as fuel for where you’re going.
Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about choosing, deliberately and courageously, the life you truly want.
I’m not here to help you erase the past. I’m here to help you turn the page — with intention, clarity, and heart.
Through journaling, soulful planning, and powerful practices, I guide women to reconnect with their passions, claim their strengths, and create a path rooted in truth, desire, and deep self-trust.
Because when you own your story, you reclaim your power.
And from that place?
You create a life — and legacy — that feels like home.

The Values That Guide My Work
1. Authenticity – Living and Leading from the Heart
True reinvention begins by honouring who you are at your core. I create space for deep reflection so you can release outdated narratives, attune to your heart’s wisdom, and reconnect with your true essence. This isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about coming home to yourself.
2. Wisdom – Integrating Intuition, Knowledge, and Life’s Cycles
Reinvention isn’t about pushing—it’s about flowing with life’s natural rhythms. I bring intuition, reflective writing, and embodied awareness into my work, helping you trust your inner knowing and transform with grace, in your own time.
3. Empowerment – Owning Your Story and Your Path
I’m here to guide, not tell. Your journey is uniquely yours. My role is to help you recognise your brilliance, uncover your truth, and take empowered steps forward. Whether through writing, reflection, or aligned action, you are always in the lead.
4. Fair Play – Honouring Balance, Energy, and Personal Truth
Transformation should feel nourishing, not exhausting. I believe in honouring your energy, trusting your timing, and choosing a path that feels balanced and sustainable. Reinvention isn’t a race—it’s a reclamation.
5. Freedom to Be You – The Ultimate Goal of Reinvention
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: you deserve to live in full alignment with your truth. Reinvention is about creating a life that feels expansive, joyful, and utterly, unapologetically YOU.
My Story
The Long And Winding Road
Where do you begin to tell the story of becoming? For me, it’s less of a straight line and more of a spiral—twisting through healing, heartbreak, awakening, and homecoming.
I’m Dale, and I live tucked away in the hills of Spain with my three rescue dogs—my soulful companions and constant teachers in love, patience, and presence. This wild and quiet place is where I found myself again. Where I stopped performing and started listening. Where I allowed the pieces of my life to come together in a way that finally made sense.
Like many women, I’ve stood at countless crossroads. Loss. Illness. Breakups. Relocations. Moments that felt like endings, only to later reveal themselves as sacred invitations to begin again. Each time, I peeled back another layer, released an old identity, and stepped closer to the truth of who I really am.
My early life held its own complexity—constant moves thanks to my father’s RAF career, the instability of living with alcoholism, and experiences of abuse that left their shadows. But I no longer see these things as the whole story. They were chapters in my transformation, the ashes from which I’ve risen, over and over again.
The most radical thing I’ve ever done? I learned how to love myself. Not in theory—in practice. In the quiet. In the mess. In the mirror.
Writing was my anchor. My medicine. My magic. It helped me understand what I was carrying, what needed to be let go, and what wanted to rise in its place. Through the written word, I reclaimed my voice—and my life.
Now, I share this with others. I hold space for women who are fed up, cracked open, or quietly whispering, “there has to be more than this.”
Together, we write new stories—truthful, powerful, heart-led ones.
Today, my life is no longer about chasing anything. It’s about living fully, loving deeply, and guiding others back to themselves so that they have the courage to share their story.
My dogs are curled at my feet, the mountains keep me grounded, and my words are my offering to the world.
The journey continues—but now I walk it with fierce clarity, open-hearted devotion, and a deep belief that it’s never too late to become who you were always meant to be.
