Alison Jacobson, renowned as the Midlife Maverick, embodies unwavering
resilience, having triumphed over profound grief and obstacles. Her journey
includes navigating the heart-wrenching loss of her baby to Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS), weathering the financial upheaval of divorce, and shouldering
the role of caregiver for both her son, who has Intellectual Disabilities and her
husband, who battles Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. At the remarkable
age of 57, having never run more than a mile until the year prior, she conquered
the iconic NYC Marathon, serving as a living testament that it is never too late for
personal transformation.
Alison is a dedicated advocate for women in midlife, helping them overcome selfdoubt
and fear to achieve their goals and live joyful, successful, kick-ass lives in
their second chapter. Through her own tragedies and adversities, she empowers
women to find life after loss, regain self-confidence to bravely move forward
personally and professionally, and take decisive action to make themselves the
center of their own lives.
As a highly accomplished coach, speaker, and author, Alison
empowers women in midlife to reignite their aspirations,
reconstruct self-assurance, magnify happiness, and unlock
the abundance they genuinely deserve. Alison’s book
Daily Inspirations for Midlife Women: A Guide to Peace, Joy,
Confidence, and Abundance was published last year.
