Most women go through some sort of midlife transition, usually around 45 to 55, where they experience anxiety, stress and fear about what the future holds.
This is often described as the woman’s Midlife Crisis. It happens to most women to some degree. It is often thought to be caused by the start of the Menopause, known as the Peri-Menopause.
While the perimenopause is an important part of this phase of life, it is not the whole story. Many other things are changing in a woman’s life at this time which create confusion, uncertainty and fear of the future.
However, once you understands what is happening and how to handle it, you eventually wake up to who you really are and a new life can begin.
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
My name is Jean Macdonald. I am known as the Midlife Midwife because I help midlife women reinvent themselves for the second half of their lives.
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.
• Certainty you know who really are, where you are going, and there is a bright future for you on the other side.

Love Jean x
We call this process Waking the Woman Within!
You may have thought this state of confusion and uncertainty was the beginning of the end of your useful life. It is actually the beginning of a brilliant new phase of your life, if you want it to be.
You deserve it.
Love Jean

I am so thankful for the Midlife Butterfly Club. I now know that what I am going through is normal and that there is support out there. It’s nice to talk to other woman who know exactly what I am going through.

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.
