Most women go through some sort of midlife transition, typically around 45 to 55, where they experience anxiety, stress, and fear about what the future holds.
This phase is often described as the woman’s Midlife Crisis. It happens to most women to some degree. Generally, it is thought to be caused by the start of the Menopause, known as the Peri-Menopause.
Although the perimenopause is an important part of this phase of life, it is not the whole story. At the same time, many other things are changing in a woman’s life during this period, which create confusion, uncertainty, and fear of the future.
However, once you understand what is happening and how to handle it, eventually you wake up to who you really are and a new life can begin.
Ultimately, this is a transformative change, like a Caterpillar becoming a Butterfly.
If you are somewhere in this process, may I welcome you to the Midlife Butterfly Club?
Hello, my name is Jean Macdonald
I am known as the Midlife Midwife because I help midlife women re-invent themselves for the second half of their lives.
With this in mind, I started this Club aiming to give you:
• Clarity about what is happening to you.
• Confidence that you can take control and change your life as you want to.
• And most importantly, Certainty that you know who you really are, where you are going, and that there is a bright future for you on the other side.

We call this process Waking the Woman Within!
At first, you may have thought this state of confusion and uncertainty was the beginning of the end of your useful life.
In reality, it is actually the beginning of a brilliant new phase of your life—that is, if you want it to be.
You deserve it.

The Midlife Butterfly Club is exactly the support I need while I find myself wondering where I’m going and what the heck I’m here for at the age of 50!! It is very reassuring to be in touch with others who are going through it too.
