I’m a retired flight attendant who still believes every day can be an adventure when you lead with curiosity. After 34 years in the sky, I traded flight plans for mindset shifts, guiding women, especially grandmothers, get their moxie back and embrace aging as their next great adventure.
I’m a lifelong learner who loves water-park adventures and indoor rock climbing with my grandkids. I treasure every call and visit with my adult kids and remain intrigued every single day by my husband of 27 years. You’ll often find me journaling out by our pool, lifting weights at Lifetime Fitness, or joining the Aora (55+) social activities there. One of my favorite simple joys is listening to my husband talk about his latest yard projects, I don’t do the work with him, but I love hearing the pride and joy in his voice.
I believe curiosity and joy are the best anti-aging serums there are.
Why I do what I do
It all began with four little words: “Mom, I’m having a baby.” That moment changed everything. When I found out my baby was having a baby, something inside me cracked open. The ground shifted. The woman who’d spent decades helping others in the sky suddenly realized she was about to learn how to fly in an entirely new way. Becoming a grandmother invited me into a deeper adventure, one that wasn’t about schedules or service, but about becoming. It made me rethink who I was, what I wanted, and what it really meant to thrive in this next season of life. Through my certification in Affective Liminal Psychology™ and the creation of Aging Flipped: The Playground, I discovered how to help women navigate that same transformation, to put their own oxygen mask on first, not just to survive aging, but to thrive in it. It’s an emotional, uplifting adventure filled with twists, turns, and moments of pure joy. Together, we build confidence, curiosity, and courage to keep becoming, at any age. Because aging isn’t a landing, it’s takeoff.
