In this first coaching session, we meet Melessa—an almost empty nester navigating a midlife transition. After raising five children, she’s now pursuing her dream of nonprofit grant writing, downsizing her home, and embracing the community she always hoped to live in. Diagnosed with ADHD at 50, she shares how cognitive behavioral therapy and tools like ChatGPT help her stay focused and manage life’s challenges.

Stephanie and Melessa dive into midlife coaching topics like creating healthier routines, resisting the hustle, and embracing personal growth. From a travel bucket list challenge with her husband to honest conversations about ADHD support and empty nest adjustments, this episode offers encouragement and practical insight for anyone ready to rediscover themselves in a new season of life.
