Why do we need a Midlife Butterfly Club?
Many women arrive at a point in their lives, any time between 35 and 65 where they become profoundly dissatisfied with being someone else’s Mother, Wife, Daughter, Daughter-in-Law, Employee, Carer and other subservient roles.
They find themselves trapped in these roles without scope to find or become themselves or find their true purpose which they know is in there somewhere.
There are social programming obstacles which they must overcome to break free. One is that men deserve a superior role in relationships, in business and in society.
We don’t cliam to cover all the areas midlife women need to know about and enlist the help of specialist experts in all the areas that midlife women have to take control and responsibility for.
The long-term aim is for more women to become independent and step into their feminine power and fulfil their Purpose. This is usually for betterment of our society and very often by cooperating in groups with other midlife women.
Hello, My name is Jean Macdonald
I started the Midlife Butterfly Club to support women going through their midlife transition, usually in their forties. This is often referred to as their Midlife Crisis. It can hit women any time between 35 and 65.
This is often said to be just the effect of the Menopause, and while we agree the perimenopause is an important part, there are many other factors involved, We call it a Midlife Transition.
Our job is to educate women going through this experience to understand that this a natural process and with the right actions can lead to a happy outcome, just like the Caterpillar becomes a beautiful Butterfly!
PS I call myself the Midlife Midwife.
