Meet Rani
I deeply believe that in order to be powerful in your life and create the story that you want to live, you need to be aware of your mindset, build powerful positive mental fitness and know when to shift gears when something isn’t working.
To me this is the fundamental piece that is often missing when we hit midlife. Having a growth mindset allows you to be powerful to help you thrive with resilience. We all pay attention to physical fitness including going to the gym, walking, yoga, our health and nutrition, etc so why are we not paying attention to our brains and building that muscle to fight dementia, melancholy and stagnation? Your positive intelligence and mental fitness should be at the top of your wellness list, especially during midlife! Like mindfulness, mental fitness develops your ‘wisdom’ or ‘sage’ and kicks your ugly Judge and his henchmen the ‘saboteurs’ to the curb where they belong!
So while I love getting deep into your life and career, I am truly passionate about helping you build your mental fitness and meeting you where you are to help you be a powerful goddess in midlife. To me that means helping you build your positive intelligence and positive mindset so you can boldly tackle any life or career issues you may have, including ageism!
When we work together, you will become more intentional with your life and work choices, you will build your confidence, you will make decisions that make you happy and together we will rediscover that powerful verve and courage inside of you to boldly embrace this wonderful midlife of yours!
“My mission is to uplift women in midlife to help them build healthy strong positive mindsets using mental fitness and positive intelligence to help them thrive with resilience.”
Midlife is your time to SHINE - do you have a positive mindset?
A wee bit about me:
I am deep into midlife and am thankfully past the hot flashes! I have learned to love my tummy after a c-section, have a ton of patience for my very noisy teens who play sax, trumpet, drums and piano any old time they want. I have a dog that barks way too much and spend too much money on books, shoes and handbags. Now that I am in my 50s, I feel alive and vibrant with more freedom in my life - secretly I feel 38 but honestly happy not to be in my 20s ;]
I was always the person everyone went to for references, career advice and job negotiations. It filled me up and it truly helped the people who came to me for advice. Still to this day, friends and family come to me for chats on the side and I dive in like there is no tomorrow.
Full confession - I love talking about this stuff and I love connecting. I love laughing and I really love helping. I will be 100% present for you and help you all the way through.
Agism, being a mom & a serial entrepreneur
In my 40s I hit a career wall that I honestly thought was a myth & encountered some challenging agism moments after my kids were older & I was ready to get back to work. I was completely shocked that with my experience and education no one was keen on hiring me. Their loss (that took me years to sound so cavelier). So I reinvented myself a few times & finally jumped into coaching full time.

I am very arty - I love to play piano, harp & ukulele, I like to write poetry, I am a voracious reader, I am a lifeguard (lapsed) and adore swimming in the Atlantic, Pacific, lakes or streams and I do all sorts of arty crafts. I am super curious about the universe & all the big questions of life
I have an amazing circle of very good friends that I try and keep vital and strong no matter how busy life gets - I sometimes fail at this but keep trying
