Hi Kindred. I'm Mel, a professional midlife woman, mom of grown-ups, coffee, and Jesus lover. I have had a lot of big, life changes and I haven’t always been clear about God’s plan for me.

Let me show you how to clarify your purpose, and pursue your personal and professional goals in this next phase of life.<p> </p>In this podcast, I teach you how to:<p> *Clarify God's Plan for your life *Courageously transition your career *Focus on yourself and your career in the next phase of life<p> </p> Kindred, it’s time to focus on yourself and reclaim the women you once aspired to be.<p>
