You've evolved. Now your career gets to catch up.

Helping women in mid-career and beyond get unstuck and move forward with clarity. It’s time to build a career you don’t have to escape from.

You’ve done everything “right” 

  • Built the career
  • Supported everyone else
  • Checked every box

But now, something is off.

  • Your job looks good on paper, but you feel stuck and unseen
  • You’re second-guessing everything
  • You dread the week before it even begins
  • You feel guilty for wanting more
  • You keep Googling “career change “  hoping something will click

You deserve more than a life you were taught to settle for.  It’s time for a version of success that actually fits.

Cheryl Alexander, career coach for women in midlife

Hi, I’m Cheryl.

I’m here to help you stop second-guessing every move and start building a career that actually fits.

If you feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from the work that once lit you up, you’re not alone.

I work with women in mid-career and beyond who feel like they’ve outgrown the version of success they were taught to chase, but can’t imagine starting over.

I’ve been there too. I’ve walked away from roles I worked years to earn. I’ve shifted careers, sold everything I owned, and rebuilt from burnout, on purpose.  

With 20+ years in HR and coaching, I’ve supported individuals and global organizations through big change. I blend mindset work, intuitive strategy, and neuroscience-backed tools to help you reconnect with your inner compass and move forward with clarity and courage.

This isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s what fits you now.

That might mean redesigning the job you have, pivoting into something new, or finally saying yes to what’s been quietly calling you.

Whatever it looks like, I’ll help you stop spinning and start creating a career (and life) that feels like you.

“Working with Cheryl helped me see all the stuff I was tolerating not only with work, but other aspects of my life that weren’t aligned with who I am anymore.  Her coaching helped me build the courage to make changes.” – Dani P.

You already know what’s not working.
But have you thought about what it’s costing you to stay there?

  • Another year spent overthinking, but not moving
  • More burnout, more self-doubt, more nights Googling “how to change my career”
  • Staying in a role that drains you because it’s familiar, even though it’s not working
  • Silencing the part of you that’s craving more
  • Losing time, energy, and confidence in a life that no longer fits

You’ve worked too hard to feel this disconnected.
You don’t have to settle for “fine” when something better is calling you forward.
