Welcome! I’m Jennifer, a former Fortune 500 corporate executive turned speaker, podcast host, community builder and a passionate advocate of the power of midlife women.

At 50, my life fell apart.

In the span of a single year, I found myself divorced, an empty nester, unemployed after a 25+ year Fortune 500 career — and bedridden with a serious, stress-related illness. Just like that, the life I had worked so hard to build vanished — along with my identity as a wife, mother, and corporate executive.

I had no idea who I was or what was possible for my life

Who starts over at 50?
Is it even possible?
Am I too old for this?
Will anyone take me seriously?

After throwing myself a big ol’ pity party (for longer than I care to admit), something shifted. I realized I had a 30 to 40 year chapter ahead of me — and that I could choose to live it on my terms. No more living by other people’s rules and expectations.

There was so much more I wanted to do. So much more I wanted to give.

“Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end. It’s the moment you finally choose yourself.”

What I learned along the way is this: the only thing standing between us and the life we want is the belief that it is possible.

It’s not that we aren’t capable. Or smart enough. Or brave enough. It’s that — consciously or unconsciously — we’ve bought into an ageist cultural narrative that keeps us playing small. This chapter isn’t the end of anything. It’s the beginning of us finally choosing ourselves.

Of releasing what no longer fits. Of creating a life that actually feels good to us.

My midlife reinvention wasn’t about becoming a “better” version of myself. It was about becoming truer to who I already am — honouring my soul and creating a life I’m genuinely passionate and excited about.

If you’re here because the life you built no longer fits...

If something in you is stirring…

If you’re done shrinking and ready to listen to what you want…

You’re not too old and its never too late.

Through Old Chicks Know Sh*t, I hope that you will see your own power, wisdom and capability reflected back to you when you need it most. I hope you feel inspired to chase your dreams, defy cultural stereotypes and do things you never thought possible.

This is not the end of living but rather, just the end of a chapter, and there are many more exciting chapters to come.​

They may think we ‘re old, but we know that we know our sh*t!
